We met the first weekend of school our freshman year! Our dorms were right across from one another, and Jacob's roommate became friends with one of my friends. The very first time we were introduced we were standing in the courtyard between our dorms. From that day on our friends were always together and we talked more and more. By September 2015 we were officially dating and have been lucky to have each other ever since.

Every year, the Faulkender's do their annual camping trip to Sunset Beach- near Santa Cruz. It was another great trip! After a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, where Jacob stress ate the biggest plate ever, he asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. We went up to a lookout where a breathtaking sunset overlooking the ocean was waiting, we talked for a little while, and I was looking out over the ocean still when he pulled out the ring behind me. I turned around and YES YES YES! I had no idea he had arranged for my family to be there, and we were all able to celebrate together when we got back from our walk.
