Kennedy made her return to Fresno after successful completion of her Juris Doctor in the Summer of 2022. She began work as a Post Bar intern that August, the same position Chet had held a year prior. During her post bar-ship Kennedy would occasionally be assigned to assist Chet in court, but not as regularly as he would have liked. Chet would pretend to come to the post bar desks to talk to a friend but really he was there to try and chat with Kennedy. After some flirtatious back and forth at a fellow post bar's party (shoutout Kendall) Chet was encouraged by others at work to finally make a move. Kennedy had confided in Kendall that she was "not not down." With that Chet picked up the nerve after work one day to call Kennedy and ask her on a date. She said yes, and the dates quickly accumulated. Kennedy began the routine of driving Chet home from work everyday where they chat about their days for half an hour before parting ways for the evening. The two have been inseparable ever since. In no time Chet was a regular at the Meeks household and Kennedy made her first trip to Bellingham in July of 2023.

They were back in Big Creek cove fishing when Chet snuck down on one knee and popped the question.
