Proposal

Ryan proposed to Kristie the day before his 27th birthday (September 3rd, 2011). Kristie had planned a getaway weekend for Ryan's birthday in Asheville. On the first night Kristie planned for them to camp by Courthouse Falls in Pisgah National Forest. After a hike into the park around sunset, they were sitting by the falls savoring the beauty with chocolate and sake when Ryan got down on one knee and asked Kristie to be his wife. Nala and Willow (the dogs) wagged their tails approvingly.
