We met our Sophmore year of highschool when we were assigned lockers next to each other, although Megan was out of alphabatical order. Megan had the most organized locker I had ever seen, I also enjoyed her short acid washed jean shorts. Jaden made fun of me for my very organzied locker, and the first thing I noticed about him was his big belt buckle and his grandpas old dancing boots. Even though we could not have been more different throughout highschool we quickly became fast friends, 9 years later we are still best friends and can not wait to get married and continue our story!
Originally, we were set to go on our first Cruise in May of 2020, however like most things in 2020 COVID had other plans. Fast forward to October Jaden planned a fun weekend to the small cozy town of Galena Il, a place Megan has also wanted to visit. We did all of our favorite things. We ate at several local restaurants, shopped downtown, and saw all the historical sites Galena has to offer. Our last stop of the day was to Thunder Bay Fall, it was a huge water fall with the clearest lake water. Jaden picked the perfect spot to propose. It is a day we will never forget.
After high-school Jaden left to start his military career and Megan hit college running. 7 years later Jaden works at Altorfer and Megan works with Graham Out Patient Rehab as a Physical Therapist Assistant. We have two dogs Sam and Pacey, our Golden Retriever and Cocker Spaniel and our cat Callie. We bought our first house in 2019 and have spent the last two years updating and working on home projects. As a bonus house projects works as free team building and marriage counseling, haha.
We enjoy spending time with our families and friends and do everything with our dogs. We are anxiously awaiting and finalizing all our wedding plans. After our wedding we are most excited to start more traveling as well as preparing for upgrading to a forever (or a “for-awhile” home). Children are definitely in the future for us but we are not in any rush. We like to be open to change and opportunities. We are most excited to continue enjoying our time with each other and navigate this next part of our life!
