Kyle and I met on Nov. 9th, 2023. We went on a group date set up by our friends Johnathan and Bianca. A couple days later Kyle asked Kenzie for her number and went on a date the following Sunday. We have been together ever since. Nov. 19th 2023 we officially started dating.

This was one of our first dates. We went dancing at Jimbo’s garage. Yes, Kyle did ask me to dance.

Kyle and I first met each other’s families for the Christmas holiday. (Side note: Kyle picked up a dead coyote at my family’s Christmas and they have loved him ever since)

We took our first road trip together for the new year. We drove to Beaver Creek, CO. We stopped at Estes Park, Vail, and the great sand dunes on that trip.

We took a weekend ski trip for my birthday to Angle Fire, NM.

We celebrated Easter together. Kyle won the first place prize at the Hunt/Tatum Easter Olympics.

Kyle was with me and supported me when I graduated with my doctorate in physical therapy.

We made it up to the coast together for a weekend. We were both sunburnt!

We took a trip with our friends Shawn and Sam. We flew into Utah and then road tripped through Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, and back to Utah.

Jackson Hole, WY

The hike to Delta Lake through the Grand Tetons.

After a strenuous uphill hike we made it to Delta Lake.

HE PROPOSED. Right in front of the Grand Teton after our hike to Delta Lake Kyle asked me to marry him. Obviously I said YES!

We drove through Yellowstone.

I said yes to the dress!

We spend our evenings together. We go hunting, go on dates, watch movies, work, etc.

We went to Big Bend. We were chased down a mountain by a goat. Kyle saw a mule deer which Kyle would say was a big highlight of the trip.

We made a trip to Dallas to see an our friend Chance for his birthday. We got to see the Rangers play.

We did a weekend scouting trip to NM for Kyle’s upcoming hunt.

We took our engagement photos while we were home visiting family.
