Why I Married Tyler

Most people see my sweet husband as a quiet, shy guy. More of a background kind of a person who's really good at keeping me balanced. This is all true but what no one else knows or sees is how hilarious and DRAMATIC he is. Here's a few of Ty's statements-

I walk into Ty's apartment... 45 minutes late...

Ty: {Eating peaches straight from the jar} I'm eating peaches. You know how angry I get when I eat peaches.

Walking to the car after school...

Ty: Sometimes when I'm at work {at Costco} people pull out their Sam's cards and it's like a shock to the heart.

As we're grocery shopping, picking out some hot cocoa mix...

Ty: Just for the record, I like my hot cocoa with milk. Not water. Milk. Am I making myself clear?

Watching a movie...

Ty: Oh girl. I love you. {Completely unprovoked}

Emily: I love you too.

Ty: I love the way you make the Mac N Cheese.... I love the way you pour the milk

So there are just a few but I'm looking forward to many many more.

So We're In Love

This is what happened in the last six months.

We met on a blind date doing this:

Neither of us wanted to go but we did. We were set up by the one and only, Jenny Bush, who is the reason for three eternal companionships.

And then I went here:

And Ty went here:

And I thought maybe we wouldn't work out because many a relationship has been murdered by EFY. But we talked almost every night and then finally we were able to spend my week off together.

And we went here (Lagoon):

And here (Idaho):

But then I went back to EFY and after 2 days of that we decided it was too hard without each other, mostly because we loved each other.

But then I went here:

And though I love my family, I really missed Ty. And I told him that I was getting back two days later than I actually was. I surprised him and he hugged me so tight I couldn't really breathe.

And for our last summer hurrah, we went here:

And the Disney Magic really got to us.

So then we decided that what we really wanted was to be together forever.

FOR-EV-ER.

And on September 27, 2010, this is what happened:

And on December 18, 2010, this is where we'll be going:

So we can live happily ever after.
