We're getting Married!

On October 29, 2018, at 5 in the morning, McKenzie received an odd text from a random girl asking for Jordan's number. Little did the random girl know but McKenzie had had a crush on Jordan for a few years at that point, so no way was she going to give another girl his number. After telling the girl that she didn't know who Jordan was, McKenzie immediately sent Jordan a message explaining the situation and asked if he wanted her to give this girl his number. Jordan said definitely not. But the conversation didn't end there. The two talked every day from sun up to sundown enjoying every conversation they were able to have. After a while of talking every day, they finally went on a date on January 2, 2019, where they got food and watched Aquaman. They both really enjoyed that first date, but with busy lives, it was hard to schedule things. But, when they did get to go on dates they loved every minute of each one. On July 4, Jordan invited McKenzie to the Blomberg 4th of July event. Before they left to go Jordan asked McKenzie to be his girlfriend to which she obviously responded with, "Yes!". Throughout the beginning of the relationship, Jordan had started really considering joining the Air Force. While McKenzie knew that this would mean they would have to spend time apart and tackle long-distance she knew that his dreams were important and so she encouraged him to follow his heart and join if that was what he truly wanted to do. She made sure that he knew that they would make long-distance work and that they would remain strong the whole time and she reminded him that she was in his corner backing him no matter what he chose. So on June 15, 2019, Jordan enlisted into the Air Force. After so many more perfect nights together Jordan shipped out on September 2, 2019, where he began his next adventure. Over the next two months, they hardly were able to talk but in November of 2019, they were able to resume their routine of taking every day and growing closer together.

Jordan was able to take leave for his cousin's wedding and to be with McKenzie for her Grandpa's celebration of life. They were inseparable during those two weeks, only being apart while McKenzie was at work. On Thursday, August 6, 2020, after McKenzie was done with work Jordan told her to come over like he did every day, but he told her to dress up nice. And while she had an idea of what the plan was for that evening it was more perfect than she could have ever imagined. The two shared a nice meal that Jordan had prepared underneath a birch arch that Jordan had made the summer before for one of their dates. After dinner, Jordan asked McKenzie to dance, and while they were dancing, Jordan proposed to McKenzie starting the beginning of forever.
