On March 7, 2022 little did I know I was meeting my fiancé for our first date at Squid Ink in downtown Mobile, AL. The next week, my mom flew in to Pensacola to visit. After dropping her off at the airport on her last day here, I met Tyler for dinner at Jaco's. There was a long wait for our table and we passed the time walking on the pier and telling stories. I remember thinking I could hold his hand for the rest of my life. Through multiple surgeries, the struggles of flight school and our professional lives, as well as the day to day challenges we have faced, every day I have spent with Tyler has reinforced that he is the man whose hand I want to hold for the rest of my life.
