On a Sunday morning in September, Mack asked my father for his blessing while drinking a cup of coffee and playing a game of crib at our family's cabin. This story is significant as a year ago from that day was the moment I told my father about Mack, at the cabin, over a cup of a coffee and while playing a game of crib.

Talk about full circle!

A few months have since passed from that September morning, and Mack and I are decorating our Christmas tree together when he requested that I hang the final piece - the star! And there it was! Hanging from the star! My beautiful engagement ring!

We are both couldn’t be happier!

Not only are we beginning a new beautiful chapter for ourselves, but we are also creating a new tradition of remembering our engagement, every time we decorate our Christmas tree, regardless of where life takes us or what stage of life we are in.
