It all started with a couple swipe rights and a Tinder conversation. Two truths and a lie, anyone? Our first tinder conversation is lovingly framed in our home, so if you ever grace us with your presence, you'll be sure to see it. A few weeks after we matched on Tinder, we met up at GS1221, a growler station, for a few beers. It was one of Abby's usual hangouts; she wanted to make sure Jordan wasn't some weirdo before they met somewhere unfamiliar. We later discovered we matched on Jordan's first day of pilot instructor training, and my first day of school for the year. When Jordan eventually moved back to Del Rio for his first assignment instructor pilot (FAIP) assignment, Abby started searching for teaching jobs in Del Rio, and followed him to the border in June of 2016. The rest is history!
We headed up to the hill country to spend some time with Josh and Steph (Jordan's brother and sister in law) before Abby made the big move up to Omaha. Eventually we found ourselves at Jester King brewery, a really neat farm/brewery/pizza place. It was absolutely freezing outside for Texas! Jordan convinced Abby to leave the warmth of a fire to pet the goats, and while she was distracted he got down on one knee. Josh and Steph were there to take photos and videos that we will cherish forever! We celebrated at Easy Tiger's grand opening of their new location. Abby was drinking a peach beer when he proposed, the first one made from the peach tree they planted at Jester King! Jordan made a rather large deal about dressing fairly nicely (Abby's outfit was covered with her coat anyways) and wanted Abby to curl her hair, she should've been more suspicious.
