Jimmy and Bri met “-2 days before college” (as they like to say it) as part of a group of select recipients to a leadership retreat. This leadership retreat brought them almost all the way back to Brianna’s hometown, where they first swapped a set of challenging comments. This was the beginning of a great friendship that through the course of time, led to so much more!

After months of wondering if they were going to “DTR”, Jimmy finally asked Bri to be his girlfriend on a midnight date to IHOP (this was kind of their thing in college)!

After graduating college together, Jimmy and Bri made the decision to move from Tampa (Brianna’s home) to the Chicagoland area (Jimmy’s home).

In July of 2019, Bri and Jimmy moved out of his parents home to a home of their own about 15 minutes away! The new home was a great fit for them on many levels to start their new life together!

After over five years together, and countless hours of complete rennovation to the master bedroom suite, Jimmy asked Bri to marry him in that same master suite that was designed and brought to life through their eyes. Bri was completely surprised and was presented a beautiful sapphire engagement ring. For anyone who knows Bri, they wouldnt be surprised to hear that she was a blubbering mess of “YES”!

After several months in their new house, Jimmy and Bri decided to grow their family by one four-legged friend. Now, Bri and Jimmy cant imagine their life without their loving Aussidoodle, Piper! We ❤️ you Piper!!
