It all started in 2014. Ryan and Jessica were both at the end of finalizing divorces when their eyes met. Vague flirting back and forth, cutesy little pranks. After a few minutes of online chatting, the pair exchanged numbers and it’s as if the connection was instant. Jessica couldn’t wait to see “Ryan Andersen” pop up in her inbox. Ryan, who works at 5am, couldn’t stop the continuous conversations until far beyond the time he should have been sleeping. On an evening in late March, the duo decided to get some dinner and drinks at a restaurant called The Sunshine Factory in Plymouth. It was a little awkward at first, both unsure what the other was thinking. Little did they know, this would now be considered their first date. Practically inseparable over the next few weeks, Jessica and Ryan share their first kiss in the end of April. After that first lip lock, they knew they could never be apart. June 12, 2014 the future Mr and Mrs Andersen became a couple. Still completely unable to spend a moment away from each other, the couple fell madly, deeply in love almost instantly. By September of the same year, they moved into their first apartment together with their son’s, Jayden (4) and Logan (3). In the Fall of 2015, the couple found out they were expecting a baby girl in July of 2016. July 13, 2016 baby Raelyn became the newest member to the family. March 10, 2017 Ryan and Jessica moved into their first home together in Anoka. A 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in a great neighborhood with many parks in walking distance. A perfect home to grow their family together. That same year on Jessica’s 31st birthday, Ryan was adamant on starting a tradition of taking photos at the Rum River dam. That particular day was freezing and Jessica was being very stubborn. A few pictures in, Ryan gets on bended knee and asks Jessica to be his wife!
