Well at 16 and 17, as any other teenager Jacob and Casey had access to a social media app called Snapchat. Little did they know it would lead them to each other. This app was made so people in local areas and with mutual friends can "add" you and friend you. It is still unknown to this day which "mutual friend" led Jacob to Casey's page where they began talking. After three months of getting to know each other, Jacob asked Casey out to dinner. As they tried to plan the date, they realized they were states apart. Their connection and friendship was too strong to not give it a chance based on something as silly as distance. Jacob and Casey decided to be friends for the time with being so young and far apart, but that didn't stop them from growing a friendship so unique and special nothing would ever compare. After a year of Jacob being in the "friend zone", he got the courage and asked "Why not?" and that's when Casey realized she had the man of her dreams right in front of her all along. They were NOT going to let some distance stand in the way, so Casey and Jacob spent the long FaceTimes and phone calls planning the life they knew they would have together someday. Jacob visited Casey in Houston for a year until she was able to make the move to Arkansas where all those dreams that seemed so distant began happening. Fast forward to the future: They have been together for 4 years now, created memories in 4 homes, and adopted 2 adorable family members 🐾 Mali and Casper.
