We first met in early 2018 at Classic Cafe Jacob was a busser and I was waitressing. We were just two coworkers at first, trading jokes in the back and helping each other survive the dinner rush. Or as Jacob would say I was never bussing my tables properly and handing him every dish to take to the back lol What we didn’t know then was that those small moments were quietly stitching the beginning of our story together. For two years, we were just friends. The kind of friends who always found a reason to hang out, always gravitated toward each other, and always had a little spark lingering in the background. We told ourselves we weren’t ready for labels (okay… mostly Jacob didn’t want a label, but I wasn’t in a rush either). Still, somewhere between late night talks, spontaneous hangouts, and the way he’d always find his way next to me, something deeper was growing naturally. Around Christmas of 2020, We made things official, and not long after we found out we were expecting our daughter, Harlynn. She has been the sweetest blessing and the most beautiful chapter of our story. Looking back, our relationship began the way the best ones often do. Slowly, quietly, and built on a foundation of real friendship. What started as two young coworkers helping each other get through busy shifts turned into a love that changed everything. And now, we’re here. Celebrating a journey that gave us our family, our future, and our favorite little girl.
