On a late night in September 2014, love was in the air in Chicago’s Wrigleyville neighborhood. It wasn’t until after 2 a.m. that Hayley and Jacob both found themselves at the Rock & Roll bar, “Trace”, watching an intense dance battle between two of their friends. After Hayley’s lifelong friend, Courtney Windisch, won the dance battle by doing her signature backflip move, Hayley looked up and was immediately intrigued by a handsome bearded man cheering. This man was Jacob. With a little liquid courage, Hayley introduced herself to Jacob and then introduced Jacob to Courtney, hoping they might hit it off since Hayley was playing “wing woman” that night. When Courtney was more interested in sitting at the bar chatting with Jacob’s long time friend, Kevin Shroyer, Hayley and Jacob found each other again and talked for what seemed like hours. Before they called it a night, Hayley made the bold move of asking for Jacob’s number (to give to Courtney of course) and texted it immediately so he would have hers. The rest is history.
