We met in fourth grade during a Sunday school class neither of us actually wanted to be in—Jacob showed up in cool sneakers, and I was just there for the donuts afterward. Four years later, we ended up at Eastwood together and had 8th grade PE, where Jacob made a point to wink at me… and, to be fair, pretty much every other girl too. By senior year of high school, we found our way back to each other for the third time—and this time, everything just clicked. From that moment on, we were inseparable, spending every day together and making memories we’ll cherish forever. What started as a childhood connection grew into a deep friendship, and eventually into the kind of love we had both been unknowingly building toward all along. Jacob and I have now been together for eight wonderful years, growing up side by side, supporting each other through every season of life, and continuing to fall more in love with each passing day. We feel so lucky to have found each other not just once, but over and over again—and we can’t wait to spend forever together.
