We cast a line on Plenty of Fish to each other, and we starting to talk and share stories on the phone. After a few days, my sister, Jody was getting on me because we used up all the rest of the shared minutes on the plan in less then a week and went over, and we used up 1/2 the minutes in just 2-3 days on the new cycle. We decided if we could talk that much on the phone we better meet in person.

We decided to meet in Shakopee at Caribou. We got hot chocolate then went to the Memorial Park down by the river. We went for walk and sat on a log for a hour talking; we both got hungry, so we decided to go to Perkins. After we went to the park again to walk some more. Our date started early afternoon and ended around 8 pm.

The day after Thanksgiving Jayson's sister Beth, brother-in law Dave, and nephew Leo went on a cruise to Aruba. While in Aruba, they were showing Jayson rings, and he told him which one to get. After they got back, Jayson was on his phone texting Beth at Sherry's immediate family Christmas about a sign Beth was making for the proposal. The day after Christmas, Jayson drove to Sherry's parents house to have her dad, Bernie take a look at a dent on the truck. While with Bernie in the shop, Jayson asked him for Sherry's hand.

On New Year’s Day Jayson and Sherry planned to go to Beth and Dave’s in Lakeville, but Sherry told Jayson “I need to clean. You and Raph go with out me.” Jayson insisted on Sherry going by telling her Leo wants to see her, so she gives in. After having lunch at Beth and Dave’s, they convince Sherry to go for a walk with Jayson and Raph. Yes, Sherry wasn’t wanting to do anything because she had only 5 days off that month, and she truly wanted to relax. They walk to Lake Marion and by this point, Sherry was cold; Jayson decided to go on the lake with Raph, but she stayed beside a building to block the when. “I’m freezing, and my shoes are getting wet on the inside; we should head back.” She starts walking back meanwhile Jayson texts Dave secretly on the lake that she was ready to go back. As we walk, Jayson goes off trail and insists Sherry to as well. She walks with him and sees a sign skimming it quickly see lets, ring, Sherry & Jayson first then saw a blue blanket with mugs, cookies, and a chain for Raph, and she looks back at the sign again this time reading “Lets ‘Ring In’ a New Year! Sherry & Jayson 01.01.19.” Jayson asked her, and Sherry said “Yes!”
