Jake & I met at a house party (go figure) at Peru State College when I was a sophomore and he a senior. Very cliché that a football player and a cheerleader end up together. I was pretty skeptical if our relationship was going anywhere due to the fact we met a month before he was to graduate and move back to KC. We decided to give it a shot & to see what happens. We must have found something that was worth doing a long-distance relationship for the next two years until I finally graduated and moved from my childhood home to be with him. One of the hardest things I had to do, but knew this is the man I’m going to spend the rest of my life with. Two and a half more years of getting to know each other’s living habits & creating tons of memories, he took me by surprise by proposing in the middle of making a party dip for Fourth of July. After several minutes of figuring out what was actually happening, I finally could spit out the word “yes”. Here we are, 5 years of loving each other & planning the most special day of our lives. We cannot wait for October 3 to start this amazing journey together.
