We first met at a friends birthday weekend trip down in St. George in April of 2016. We didn't really hang out again until that same friend invited Tyson to go on my camping trip that October. We went on a motorcycle ride not to long after that where I asked him to meet my friends and I at Disneyland. From then on we proceeded to go on occasional dates and trips for the next couple of months. May of 2017 we made it official and filled the next two and a half years with lots of fun trips and memories.
We decided to go on a trip to St. George to visit the temple before it closed. Our friends Britt and Potter joined us with their baby. We were trying to decided on what activities to do while we were there. Tyson suggested hiking since we had the baby and not go biking. We decided to hike Angels Landing since I had never done that hike before. On the way up the hike Tyson mentioned that this will be Kayla's new favorite hike. I thought he was just saying this because I was worried about how strenuous it was and he was just messing with me. Turns out when we got to the top he had something else in mind. He asked our friend Potter to take our picture since his camera was better at photos. I was not thinking anything of this until he started walking real slow with his hand behind his back towards me. He got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!! It turned out to for sure be my favorite hike.
