Our love story began when I, Jessica, moved to Kearny back in August of 1999. Charley and I started dating in the middle of our 8th grade year. I remember being head over heels for this boy, he wore his hair parted down the middle and a big poofy Dallas Cowboy’s jacket that I swear he still has (hoarder). We briefly dated, but ended up going different ways. Of course we saw each other around from time to time—from my great memory I believe only in auto class :). Little did he know—that while he was helping me in auto class, he was actually helping teach his future wife learn how to take care of our cars together! Never would I have imagined that 20 years later, Charley would be this important to me!

In June of 2012, I commented on one of Charley’s pictures and BANG—that started it all! We talked incessantly over the phone for a short time and then finally on August 4th, we went on our first date to Famous Sam’s. From there, we spent every weekend together either in Tucson or Phoenix. Next thing we knew I was moving to Tucson with him! We now have 3 beautiful babies who we adore the most.

Finally, at our 6 yr anniversary he put a ring on it! He proposed with the help of our oldest son Jesse, at our special anniversary spot Famous Sam's. Now here we are today planning a wedding and making it official with our family and friends. We are so very excited and grateful to share this special moment with all of our loved ones.
