We knew of each other in high school, and we hung out with the same crowd, but our paths never crossed, which was shocking to the both of us. Fast forward a couple years, Jake was in Arizona for spring training and messaged me on Instagram saying something sarcastic and I responded with saying something sarcastic as well. He asked for my number and then asked me out on a date. I said "Sure", not knowing he was serious and driving from Arizona to California for baseball, which meant he would be coming home for a short period of time. I was surprised when I heard a knock at my front door, and there he was to take me out on our first date. We went to sushi and Jake asked me what I wanted to do afterwards, and I said, "let's go bowling". Jake ended up winning at bowling...shocking I know, but what he didn't know is he also won my heart that night. We started dating June 19, 2019 and we got engaged June 10, 2023. June 29, 2024, is the beginning of our forever!
