JT and Kaitlyn's journey began during their first year of college. It was a time filled with new experiences and unexpected connections. Every day, after classes, JT would walk Kaitlyn home, a simple gesture that quickly became a cherished routine. His caring nature shone through when Kaitlyn was sick, as he brought her food to help her feel better. Their first date took place at La Rockita in Corvallis, a night that marked the beginning of something special. By December 4th, 2021, their bond had grown so strong that they officially became a couple, and from that point on, their story unfolded beautifully. Their adventures together have taken them to the coast many times, particularly for memorable Valentine's Day trips. Back at home, spontaneous kitchen dance nights have become a delightful tradition, filling their space with joy and laughter. In March of 2023, their little family grew with the adoption of a sweet kitty, adding even more love to their lives. On July 10th of 2024, JT and Kaitlyn reached a new milestone in their journey. JT proposed, and they became engaged, ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives together.
