Our story began when we met working at Jimmy Johns, leading to our first date on September 22, 2016. In the 8 years together, we've navigated the ups and downs of life, including an accumulated 1 year and 2 months physically apart due to travel. We moved into our first apartment in 2019 and bought our first house in 2021. We now share our home with four cats. We've been each other's biggest supporters through college attempts, Celeste's deployments, and Nathan's Police Academy, all while juggling full-time jobs. As we've approached our late twenties, we've embraced a slightly slower pace of life. We dream of one day retiring to a large plot of land where Nathan can enjoy target shooting, and Celeste can cultivate her own garden. Currently, we spend our time relaxing at home, often with drinks and our favorite shows, working towards personal fitness and health goals, and occasionally scrolling through TikTok.
