CONGRATS Ashley & Tyler!!!!

Big news over the weekend! Ashley got engaged!!! Her fiance is Tyler Schafer. He's in the army right now, getting out in June. He then plans on joining Ashley at Minnesota State in Mankato for college. Planning on going into Law Enforcement. Tyler is from Marshall, MN. (everyone wants to know how they met.....Ashley's cousin Alex is in the Army. Alex has a roommate...Tyler. I believe Alex is the one who first introduced them & so Ashley & Tyler started talking over the internet & then met in Oct in Mankato while he was home on Leave........and according to Ash, it was Love at First Sight :-)

I think she was smart in getting engaged FIRST, and THEN introducing him to the family! He's stuck with us now!! heheheh

I was able to meet him tonight. I have previously talked to him on the phone & over the internet so we kind of knew each other I guess. I know how happy he makes Ashley & wish them both the best. Can't wait for the open bar wedding!!! (That's all that is planned at the moment according to the couple ;-) Oh, & it will be in Minnesota!!

Tyler wasn't able to meet Phil tonight since he had to go to work early & the kids were all in bed when they got here. Zander wanted to see Ashley though. I told him she was coming & he didn't want to go to bed until he got to see her! We'll maybe have to make a trip over to Mankato soon so he can see her again ;-)
