It all started by two individuals going to visit VIP in Phoenix AZ. Jon's flight was booked by his best friend who was on a job site in Phoenix. I was on my way to visit my snowbird grandparents in Green Valley. My dad & brother had already booked their flights on a different airline a couple weeks prior and because of the price difference, I decided to fly solo. We boarded the airplane just as any normal passengers would. What we didn't know is who we would be sitting next to. My preference is always the aisle seat (bathroom breaks & nerves). Jon was in the middle. Jon was preparing to watch a movie and I had a book in hand. Per Minnesota Nice, I inquired why Jon was on that flight. Neither of us ever anticipated a conversation that would last before take off - & all the way to baggage claim. Although most would think that we had exchanged numbers and hit it off from there, it wasn't quite so simple. My dad & brother had already landed and were waiting in the car with her grandparents. Frazzled phone call and Emmer showing up for Jon, we simply said thank you and take care. Ok ok ok, we both tried to do some searching (facebook), but my name isn't very unique! The only thing we had going for us was that Jon gave me enough information to creep painting companies in the Hudson area on Google and input the name on Facebook... sure enough, his profile showed up! I sent Jon a message and phone numbers were exchanged. We talked for quite some time, but hurdles of three hour distance and miscellaneous things slowed us down. Eventually, all the stars aligned and we officially started dating. In October of 2017, Jon asked me to be his forever. I said yes!!! Happenstance brought us together. Jon & I feel extremely blessed and grateful to have met on that airplane that day. We also feel beyond lucky to intertwine our lives and share our favorite people with each other <3
