We had met a couple of times when we would see eachother at Perkins (Carli's job at the time) when Kyler would come in with his family for dinner or with Dallas (best friend to Kyler, who also worked at Perkins). We officially met on one of the last days in June, when Dallas invited Carli to hangout after work. Dallas picked Carli up and had brought along two friends... Trevor and Kyler. Kyler was sort of shy and quiet at first, but as the night when on the four made memories that they would be able to cherish for the rest of their lives (and still laugh hysterically at when brought up on nights together). No one knew that this night would result in so many changes in everyones lives. After 1 week of talking and hanging out for hours each day after that, Kyler asked Carli to be his girlfriend.
Kyler and Carli decided they were long over due for a vacation. The two packed up their things, requested days off of work, and spent a few days planning a trip to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for some great food, good shows, shopping, and of course.. Silverwood themepark. The week was filled with great adventures, many memories, pictures, and inside jokes. After a long day at the themepark, Kyler and Carli had dinner at a nice restaurant and headed to the hotel to relax. After awhile, Kyler began (what he does just about everyday) playing songs that remind him of Carli - A particular song came on and out of no where Kyler gets up and walks to the opposite side of the bed, drops to a knee.... And of course, Carli is crying at this point. The engagement was simple, sweet, meaningful, and also hilarious. Kyler dressed in shorts and a dirty t-shirt and Carli wearing bright neon green shorts, long socks, and a grey t-shirt that is 5 sizes too big. It was unexpected, meaningful, and sweet.... She did say yes, of course!!
