It all started when 2 people swiped right... lol Tyler and I met on tinder. Crazy yes we know. But him living in Versailles and me living in Shelbyville...lets be honest our paths probably would have never crossed. When we finally decided to go on a date, I didn't feel well. I told him that honestly after trying to pick a place (which by the way there isn't any good restaurants in Shelbyville) that me not felling well that I would be perfectly fine with McDonalds for dinner. When he said that he would be perfectly fine with that it was pretty much a match made in heaven. lol

Tyler planned a date to Shaker Village...for the 3 of us. I learned 2 things on this date... 1. He is great with Reagan and 2. He can only take so much time looking and playing with animals. lol Tyler took Reagan and I on our first date as a party of 3 to Shaker Village. It was their fall festival, it was very sweetly planned and Reagan loved it. The love of animals that Reagan and I have can be a little overwhelming. While at Shaker Village we saw Illamas...of course Reagan and I had to stop and play with them. After a while in the hot sun I could tell Tyler was getting antsy. But I must say our fur baby family has grown to 8. So he must love me a lot to not tell me no. Except I'm still working on getting a mini pig ;)

We take a family vacation every year. This year having 2 grandkids now the family decided to go to Disney World. Reagan had an appointment at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to get a princess makeover at Magic Kingdom. After she got all dolled up, my brother Michael bought her a beautiful Cinderella dress. Next was going to get professional photos in her princess attire. The family insisted that we had to go get a family photo in front of the castle. When I say family I mean: My mom and dad, my aunt Brenda, my grandma, me, Tyler, Reagan, my brother Michael, my sister Kristen, her husband Jeff and their new little addition Emery. Lets be honest it wouldn't be me if anything were easy. I was adamant about getting Reagans photos taken in her beautiful dress. Tyler made the comment "you are not making this easy" I figured it was just because family was around. My brother stepped in and said just go take the picture and then everyone can go do their own thing after. I agreed. We get down there to the castle and Tyler and Michael are asking the photographer to take our family picture in front of the castle. Tyler comes back to Reagan and I and says he wants to take our picture first and then he'll do the whole family. I could feel his hand shaking on my side so bad...which should have been a hint, but I was oblivious. After a few pictures were taken Tyler handed Reagan a Cinderella music box and said that Grandma wanted her to take a picture with it. He then told her open it, as she opened it I was looking over her shoulder. Inside the music box was a ring picture frame and in the frame was a written note saying "May I Marry your Mom?" I turned around and Tyler was on one knee... I said "YES!" He went to Reagan and pulled out a charm bracelet with a ring on it and asked her "may I marry your mom" and put the bracelet on her. She gave him and hug and said yes! It was so sweet and everything I wanted. Reagan was a huge part, my family was there, and it was photographed!
