As our trip is coming to a close, I just wanted to interrupt our normal posts to share some special news.

We spent the day in the sun, wandering from town to town. Hvar Island, Croatia is filled with gorgeous, sleepy little towns all overlooking the water. We found some secluded beaches to go swimming at, and after a cute little dinner we headed up to the castle that’s perched at the top of the island. With a beautiful view of the city below, Luke set up the GoPro on a timer (like we often do). This time, however, I was in for a surprise.

It’s with extreme joy and happiness that I can say we’re now ENGAGED. We wanted to share it with all of our friends and family, and of course, our blog. This trip has been amazing, but if anything, it’s taught us how to live with each other, compromise, and put the other person first.

We’ve experienced so much on this trip and we’re looking forward to continuing to travel and see what this next chapter has to offer.
