On our first date we bonded over doughnut holes at Paradise Doughnuts. Not long after our doughnut date, we would make it "official" on May 15th, 2013. Almost four years later, Tyler would ask me to be with him for the rest of his life!

I have always wanted to see the sunrise and have asked Tyler to take me the entire time we have dated. If you don't know, Tyler does not wake up early very easily so we never went. A couple of days before I was going to board the plane to visit Tyler in Alabama he kept asking me "Want to go see the sunrise?" I didn't think much of it, just that he finally was willing to wake up to go. He drove us on a freezing February morning to Rainbow Mountain Trail where we found a nice spot to see the sunrise. As the sunrise was just getting good Tyler stands up and all I could think was "Why is he standing right in front of me. I can't see." Little did I know, right after that thought he would get down on one knee and ask me to marry him. I said "Yes!", and we hurried back to the warm car. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you! See you in California!
