Me, Mr. W, and My Blog

     I absolutely LOVE being married to such a wonderful guy. Please bear with me through a very sappy story of how we met:

      Tyler literally came out of no where. I was completely not expecting to meet him, that is how all great love stories begin right? My best friend e-mailed me one day telling me to go Facebook stalk her Physical Therapist. Of course I did and saw what a handsome man he was, I wanted to meet this guy. He was my friend Chelby's Physical Therapist that she had been seeing due to a "very traumatic event." A "very traumatic event," is not only what Chel referred to her dirt bike accident as, but also Pastor Eric who married us.  It was pretty gruesome and she was in A LOT of pain the day of her own wedding. Being a great best friend, I'm secretly happy it happened or I probably never would have met such an amazing man that I now get to call my husband. Thanks for taking the hit for me Chel (Jeesh, the things you do for me!).

      Chelby decide to take matters into her own hands, after such a bad dirt bike accident, something good better come from it. I was just about to board my plane from San Francisco back to Nebraska and Chelby called asking if I'd be in town Friday night. It was Thursday and I would be getting in to Nebraska extremely late only to head to work the very next day, so I told her probably not. With a twist of my arm she said, "Remember that guy I've been telling you about? Well, we are going over to Scott & Tiffany's (Scott is a co-worker of Tyler's & Tiffany was a co-worker of Chelby's, and both friends of my sister & her husband. Confused yet?) and Tyler is going to be there too." Not really fully understanding it was a set up until I got to her house, I immediately was so nervous. As we rode in the car to their house, I had 20 minutes to figure out how the heck I was going to impress this guy. 

     Pretty soon we walked up to the door, walked in, and he was standing there in the kitchen. Holy smokes, talk about gorgeous. From there the rest is really history, well, until he proposed back at the same spot we met almost a year and a half later. I had no idea. We had gone to a really nice dinner and as far as I knew we were going to Scott & Tiffany's to watch the Husker game. It was December 1, 2012 and the Huskers were playing in the Bowl Game. Tyler said they were all outside and Scott just said to head back there. So I open the door to the deck and no one is there... I kept trying to tell Tyler that I thought everyone was downstairs! There was a fire going, and Tyler started saying all these really nice things about how lucky he was to have found me. It didn't hit me until about five minutes into his speech what exactly he was getting at, then he pop the big question and of course I said, YES! We came back inside and all our friends were there to celebrate with champagne & the Huskers!

Our very first photo ever taken together. :) Had to throw that in!
