We first met while both attending community college in the fall of 2019. Jasper was engaged in heated political debate with several other students, and Erika overheard and decided to join in. The two quickly became enraptured with each other and started spending as much time together as possible, though work, school, and their living situations made things difficult at first. Jasper soon came to know and love not only Erika but her son, Kayden, as well. Despite the many challenges, their love only grew in the months that followed, and in January of 2020, they were finally able to move in together. Jasper proposed soon after, on February 14th. Erika and Jasper look forward to many more years of love and happiness with each other.
