Our story started with a message on Instagram back in May of 2022 when Jackson felt pretty brave. Paige, however, was not feeling the vibes and ghosted Jackson after his second message. Jackson once again got brave, and messaged Paige again on August 6, 2022. Paige, still not wanting anything to do with a relationship, sent a screenshot to her friend complaining about Jackson messaging her again. Thankfully, Paige's friend reigned her in really quick and told her to stop being mean (but with a little more colorful language). Paige decided to answer this message, which lead to Jackson and Paige agreeing to meet up the next day. August 7, 2022 was a day that changed everything for Paige and Jackson from the very first kiss in the driveway until the rest of forever. They quickly became inseparable and in November of 2022 Paige officially moved in with Jackson on his acreage. At this point Jackson took on the role of provider and supported Paige as she finished nursing school over the next two and a half years. Many adventures ensued over this time and Paige and Jackson's relationship only grew stronger through every up and down life had to offer them. One night towards the end of Paige's nursing school journey, Jackson and Paige were eating supper at Red Robin which also happens to be right next to Kay Jewelers. Jackson mentioned they should stop at Scheels to look around since they were in Sioux City, to which Paige responded they should just stop at Kay to look around since they were in Sioux City. To Paige's pleasant surprise, Jackson agreed! While Paige was looking at and trying on rings, both were talking to the jewelers about Paige's upcoming college graduation and Paige mentioned how she really wanted to walk across the stage with a big diamond on her hand. The jewelers mentioned the return time for rings needing to be sized at this point was three weeks but promised if the ring was purchased within the next two days they would have it back by Paige's graduation in two weeks. The two walked out of the store without a ring that night, but while Paige was at work the following day Jackson went back and bought Paige's dream ring. Four days later on May 1, 2025, Jackson surprised Paige and proposed and of course she said yes! Paige was able to walk across stage nine days later on May 10 with her beautiful ring and her amazing fiance supporting her the whole way. Since then Paige has begun her work as a nurse, Jackson has continued his adventures in the semi, and the two have been fully engulfed in wedding planning. Both are beyond excited to take this next step and jump into the journey of marriage together!
