We met in the 8th grade in Language Arts class (Mr. Capito’s class). We then got to talking & started dating. It only lasted a few months as most 8th grade relationships do. After we broke up Jake wrote a poem to confess his love to me. Back then I thought it was "weird" but I look back and wish I still had it, because who knew we would be here now! We reconnected in September 2020 when I added him on snapchat and asked him to come over with some friends. Then, the rest is history.
We took a family trip out to Muir Beach and Muir Woods that day. My parents, brother and Emmitt were all there with us. We went to the beautiful overlook at Muir Beach before we headed over to this lovely Italian Restaurant. My dad and brother stayed back with Emmitt because we couldn't take the stroller down the steps but my mom came with us. Us 3 walked out to the overlook. Jake and I asked my mom to take some pictures. Jake and I were looking out at the Pacific Ocean and as soon as we turned around he bent down on one knee and pulled out the most beautiful ring. I was in shock and said, "Yes", of course, because here we are now.
