~From Vilija~ I met Tyler through mutual friends at a University of Central Florida football tailgate! We were friends for several months until June 2015 when Tyler finally asked me on a date! We went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner (yum!) and then saw Jurassic World at the movie theater. I was in nursing school at the time and told myself I "didn't have time for a boyfriend". Tyler continued his efforts to win me over by bringing me lunch while I was studying, and having dinner ready after clinicals. I decided Tyler had learned the way to my heart, and the rest is history!

~ From Tyler ~ Vilija and I were in Breckenridge on a ski/snowboard trip. We wanted a picture together at the top of Peak 7 (it's beautiful!). Vilija was looking around for someone to take our photo and turned around to see me on one knee! A very nice couple saw the proposal and immediately ran over to tell us Congratulations! Several people around us also saw the proposal, and soon everyone at the top of the mountain was cheering! It was the perfect day!
