We went to high school together but were never more than friends. In 2019 we reconnected after Jake drove by Mikes Country Store in a Dump Truck one early morning and waved to me from across the road. After that he messaged me and asked me out on our first date, up Chick Hill to watch the sunset, and from there we haven't stopped adventuring!
While in Europe on a family cruise we were stopped in Cork, Ireland and headed to the top of the Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. We waited in line for 45 minutes, 30 minutes of that wait was in the pouring rain. When we finally made it to the top and it was almost our turn, Jake snuck the ring out of his backpack and held it in front of me and asked me to marry him. I said yes! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
