We met across the world ~ Tyler serving Active Duty National Guard and Michelle serving Navy Reserves in the lovely beautiful Country in North East Africa called Dijbouti. While serving overseas they had the opportunity to get to know one another and decided to test the waters with five months of long distance, then another year apart, taking turns driving back and forth from the hills of kentucky to the pine trees of Arkansas. On September 3, 2018 Tyler knelt down on one knee and asked for Michelle's hand in Marriage.
