Our senior year of high school, we were in 3 of the same classes after not knowing each other our entire high school careers up until then. A mutual friend told Jillian that Andrew thought she was cute and should give him a text. She did, and the rest was history! After 4 years of going to separate colleges and only seeing each other on the weekends - having to get by with lots of texts, FaceTime sessions, and phone calls, we finally graduated from college (Andrew from The University of Cincinnati with 2 degrees: Accounting and Data Analytics and Jillian from Miami University with a degree in Business Economics with a minor in Information Systems & Analytics - we're kind of bragging here)! After college, we started our full-time jobs and decided that it was time to get our own place! Our first apartment was in Mason, OH and we lived there around 6 months before we decided to take the plunge and buy our first house together! Andrew decided that he wanted to propose on our 5 year anniversary (which happened to be the weekend after we found out that we got our house). So on our anniversary, Andrew took Jillian to Ault Park and proposed!
