Tyler and I were initially introduced in August of 2020 through a mutual friend. I put him in the friendzone for the longest time. In October, I finally agreed to go to dinner with a group of our friends to meet him. The group dinner was a success in getting to know each other without too much pressure. During this time, Tyler was going to school at OSUIT in Okmulgee. We relied on text and Snapchat until our first official date a few weeks later.

Tyler asked me to be his girlfriend on October 23. We started hanging out every other weekend when he came home from college spending time with each other, friends, and family. We often talked about spending our lives together and building a future.

In July of 2023, Tyler proposed in front of our friends and family. We know we would not be here without their love and support. We look forward to many more years of unconditional love and are excited to see what the future holds for us.
