 I got the best Christmas gift and surprise a

girl can get.

My then boyfriend of almost a year took

my sister her boyfriend, and my best friend miriam

on a weekend trip to Ashville North Carolina

to see the beautiful Christmas light and decorations

of the Victorian Era estate of one of the largest homes in America.

The Biltmore Estate.

Well my darling man also had a few more surprises up his sleeve...

When the moment was right...and the snow was gently falling around us...

my sis and friend... Camera's posed

He asked if I would become his wife...

I thought that I would shaare some pictures of the pretty estate

as a Christmas greeting.

Merry Christmas!

This Christmas is no excepion.... surpises are the order of the day...

can you guess?
