We have a bride to be at our house!
gonna nail this girl down.
This guy IS THE ONE!
Mr. Tyler Cooper...
Yep, Kyleigh won't have to change
her last name.
And NO, there is no relation.
{They made sure of THAT
way in the beginning.}
But how cool, unusual, and a bit weird to
marry someone with the same last name??
😂
They met back in Sept of 2020
when Kyleigh was living in Provo
her last semester at BYU.
Tyler's dad was the Bishop of their YSA ward.
THE PROPOSAL...
Tyler is a Political Science major and
currently interning at the State Capitol.
Kyleigh also works uptown so
she'll occasionally meet him up at the Capitol
on her lunch break.
ON THE DAY...
He got permission to take her up
to the dome area
to casually show her around.
They had to be escorted
by a highway patrol man...
because climbing up the narrow dome
steps is a little precarious.
And dark and dusty. haha
But the climb led them outside
to where the red arrow is in the pic below.
That is where he popped the question.
What a SURPRISE for her!
{She wasn't suspecting anything
because she didn't think the ring was done yet.}
It was just the two of them up there
other than the highway patrol guy
and a communications staff member
pretending to be doing a story/photoshoot
for the Capitol newsletter.
But they hid out on the other side
so Tyler could propose in private.
And then they got to re-enact it
after for the camera.
The ring is a stunner!
She wanted something unique and
different than a typical diamond.
She almost went for a blue sapphire-
like Princess Diana/Kate's ring. In the end,
she chose a gem stone called Morganite.
It has a rose gold tint to it,
surrounded by diamonds.
Engraved inside the band is
their saying...
"You're my favorite"
that he was proposing
and EVERYONE at the Capitol
knew what was going down too...
even the Chief of Staff
and Speaker of the House.
😂
They came by that night and I videotaped
them telling us how it all played out.
20 minutes worth. haha
It was great fun hearing all the details.
We are super happy for Kyleigh, and
our son-in-law to be.
He really is a great guy.
In other family news....
My man had a birthday!
We had fun celebrating HIM.
It's been YEARS I feel like since

I thought the music was beautiful.
DID NOT like the ending.

Activity Day girls.
Some of the girls and I
went to the Wick Lab and made
our own candles.
My smeller was in full force..
I think I smelt every one of these candles...trying to decide which scents to use.
The process was so fun.
Fig and Orange Blossom were my
top choices.
The hubs and Brie went on a two day
Youth Conference trip to Bryce Canyon...

I got this text from him early Saturday morn!
BRRR!
They stayed at the Ruby Inn.
Brie just has a way of retelling
stories. She's hilarious. We enjoyed hearing
her recap of their adventure.
They had a great time!
This past month Brie, Kate and I
have been enjoying watching
Gilmore Girls together.
Brie was already a fan, {{{DEAN!}}}
but I had never seen it!!
Why I hadn't bothered to watch it
these 20 + years, who knows, cuz it's kind
of an iconic show. We love it...it's
absolutely adorable and laugh out
loud funny!
