We met in "Wild and Wonderful" West Virginia. A state Kiera calls home, and a state Jared knew was to the left, or west of "regular Virginia". Jared's job had taken him there in October 2009, kicking off a new chapter 2000+ miles away. The area of West Virginia we both lived was peppered with smaller towns, Summers consisted of river parties and bonfires, which set the stage for making friends in the same circle. There were occasional run-ins at birthday parties and local dives, and we made the most of those times. One night in July 2011 we went out, just the two of us and one other buddy - the first time away from large groups, and it all clicked! "There's something I actually like here! - JE" Long story short, Kiera said yes on a mountain top in the beautiful North Carolina country side one Fall afternoon. We've been on a great adventure, living in West Virginia, Texas and now Charlotte, NC. Keeping our close relationships alive, it's a true pleasure to spend this experience with you all...mhhmm..."ya'll"
