We Tied the Knot!

Jan and Freddy met during the fall of their freshman year at The University of Texas at Austin through a group of friends. Over time, their friendship blossomed into a relationship through shared car rides, movies, social events, and study sessions. The next year, Freddy faced an important test—meeting Jan's dog, Pax. To everyone's delight, Pax adored Freddy and now considers him his favorite person! During the remainder of their undergraduate years, they faced adversity and grew together. This included many exams (of course), boil-water notices, frequent long-distance separation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the infamous Snowmageddon. In the summer of 2022, Jan and Freddy moved to Madison, Wisconsin where Freddy pursued law school and Jan began her teaching career. Jan has become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and has continued her passionate work with kids. After several years of hard work, Freddy is nearly done with law school and on track to join the Air Force as a Judge Advocate. During the summer of 2024 on an intimate hike in their favorite place, Freddy knelt down to "look at something in Pax's paw." He asked Jan to spend the rest of their lives together, and she said yes! Surrounded by immediate family, Jan and Freddy were married at the Wisconsin State Capitol on January 6, 2025. The rest of their story is waiting to be written...
