Jake and Ashley met on a blind date in July of 2023. Ashley had just graduated ultrasound school in June and was going to work a year in Great Falls before moving back to Kalispell. Jake was working a busy season in construction for his families company. Ashley’s coworker who worked at crumbl with her, asked Ashley to go on a blind date with her husbands cousin and she decided to give it a shot! The date was a success and Ashley soon found out that Jake was the same guy that her ultrasound mentor tried to set her up with months prior. It was meant to be! They began dating in August of 2023 and have been inseparable ever since. Jake and Ashley have been on many adventures throughout these past couple of years including many vacations, concerts, football games (go Griz!), and road trips back and forth to Kalispell and Seeley lake. Ashley and Jake have a mini golden doodle named Maisy whom they love and who comes on as many adventures as she can. They have also spent this last summer finishing up their new house so that it was all finished by winter.
