Tyler and I met in college at UW- Eau Claire. We were both in the kinesiology program- his emphasis on exercise physiology and mine in athletic training.

Eventually after months of texting, and him asking me on dates time and time again, I agreed. The rest is pretty much history.

Tyler was a senior and I was a sophomore when we met so the first couple years were hard as he moved to Mankato for his masters program and I was in Eau Claire to finish my program. We spent as much time with each other as possible. This meant constantly having a weekend bag packed, lots of miles on the cars, and cringey goodbyes every Sunday.

After we both graduated we moved in together in Eau Claire and started out "big kid jobs". Tyler started a job as a coordinator for cardiac rehab at an area hospital and does an amazing job. He works hard and cares about making a positive impact on his patients and I find that admirable. I started a job with an amazing orthopedic surgeon as his right hand man in the clinics and surgery. More currently, I have transitioned to a new position at an orthopedic urgent care due to the closure of my last clinic in Eau Claire.

In October 2023 we took our first big trip together to Switzerland to visit my friend Geraldine and then continue on to Portugal. I was hoping that after 4.5 years of being together Tyler would buck up the courage to ask me to marry him and what time would be better than our European vacation. I had done all the packing and didn't seem to find a little ring box in any of this clothes so I got a little disappointed. Turns out that he had it packed in his sunglasses case so I had no idea that he had it with him. My friend Geraldine and her boyfriend Fabian took us on a hike in Zurich and once we got to a beautiful outlook Tyler asked me to marry him. The rest of the vacation was a great way to celebrate our engagement.

Throughout the years many things have changed but we have always been there for each other and that has lead us to now. We are excited to get married and see what the future years have in store for us.
