Justin grew up in a Raymore, a town south of Kansas City, and I grew up in Sidney, Iowa. After high school, Justin moved to Saint Joseph, Missouri to attend Missouri Western State University to pursue his degree in Chemistry while I moved to Maryville, Missouri to attend Northwest Missouri State University and pursue my degree in Recreation Therapy. In 2016 we met each other Labor Day Weekend through our mutual friend Rodney. Rodney called me and said “Let’s go on an adventure!”. I picked Rodney up, and that is when he introduced Justin and I. We all went on a drive to a creek just outside of Maryville and went for a small hike. Soon after talking with Justin, we hung out every chance we could get, even if it was just the weekends. We began dating 9 months after getting to know one another and managed a long-distance relationship for the first two years of our relationship. In 2019, Justin moved to Omaha, Nebraska to pursue a degree in Pharmacy. While he started Pharmacy School, I continued with my classes for my Master’s. Soon after that, Justin and I moved in with one another and supported one another through school and life in general. We spend most of our free time with family and friends, but most importantly, our 4 dogs. On January 31st, 2021, Justin proposed after we finished playing a round of Crash Bandicoot. Shortly after, I graduated with my Master’s in Healthcare Administration in May of 2021 and currently work at the University of Nebraska Medical Center as an Administrative Business Associate for the Division of Acute Care Surgery. Justin continues to pursue his Pharmacy degree and is in his 3rd year of school and he also continues to work as a Pharmacy Intern at Hy-Vee in Papillion. We cannot wait to continue to build a life we love, surrounded by those we love the most. We look forward to celebrating with you all on May 21st! Justin and Jeannie
