During the summer of 2019, we met through a mutual friend. We went stargazing one warm August night and hit it right off as we talked under the stars. After that, we went from casual outings, to meeting each other’s parents, to eventually knowing there was something between us we couldn’t deny. We began dating in November 2019 and quickly developed our own inside jokes and connected on a deeper level, especially over our love for cats. During the pandemic, we spent lots of time together outside in the sunshine and playing our favorite board games. Starting in the fall of 2020, we started doing long distance, while Anna was in college, and Jason was beginning his career in the Air Force in 2021. It gave us a newfound appreciation for one another and our devotion and faith only grew. From small road trips, to Anna going on a memorable visit to Okinawa, Japan to see Jason, we have made some incredible memories together and grown to become soul mates. After four unforgettable years together, Jason proposed on December 23, 2023 and completely took Anna by surprise! We are so thankful and excited for this new upcoming adventure in our lives, and look forward to celebrating the beginning of our next chapter with you.
