We both went to the same church for countless years but never hung out until we were in the Maverick Stampede at Colorado Mesa University. We became friends on facebook about 4 years before we ever hung out. We just had mutual friends for so long that it was inevitable that we met. We played Trivia Crack before ever hanging out and I would kick Tyler's butt every time and he would hate it but continue to play anyway. For our first date we went to dinner on New Years Eve of 2016 to Texas Roadhouse and have been together since. We go back to Texas Roadhouse on New Years Eve every year. We've gone 4 times now. (Not including the random times that we go throughout the year.)

We were on vacation visiting my family in Massachusetts. We did all kinds of sight-seeing and walking around. Went to the beach and also did lots of shopping. On the fourth I woke up and had no idea Tyler was planning to propose during the fireworks that night. We went to the beach and were planning what to do for dinner and fireworks show. There were ideas of a barbecue grill night with the family and fireworks watching from the backyard. But my cousin was trying to convince everyone that we needed to go to Providence, Rhode Island to watch the best firework show in the area. No one thought anything of it and I tried convincing her that I was totally fine with just watching from the house with the family that didn't want to go out. Well Tyler seemed to want to go see fireworks somewhere cool so I agreed and everyone else in the family stayed home and just me, Tyler, and Rheane went to see fireworks. Well little did I know Tyler would propose during the fireworks show and Rheane would take pictures and record the whole thing! Afterwards, everyone said they would have gladly gone with if they knew what was happening but the secret was kept between Tyler and Rheane. And might I add that the night was absolutely perfect!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to us!
