On a September day in 2021, we both happened to "swipe right" on a dating app. After messaging back a forth, a date was set to play mini golf and pool. Jacob happened to come out victorious in both games, much to Piper's efforts. Shortly after, we were seeing each other every day. On October 7th, Piper and Jacob started dating and celebrated by attending their first NDSU tailgate together! Many trips, concerts, and adventures happened that first year, but the biggest was Piper leaving to go to law school in Massachusetts. Between us, roughly 38,000 miles were traveled, by car or plane, to see each other over 3 years of school. All those miles were worth it. On August 10, 2024, in Maplewood State Park, Jacob asked Piper to marry him! Tears were shed and lots of smiles. We can't wait for our forever to begin!
