Our Story

It started when I was eavesdropping on Jacob's conversation at his cousin’s graduation party. I was shocked and appalled that this boy had never had a Blueberry in his life. He worked at a plant nursery for Pete's sake. So, it became my mission to make sure he had blueberries. And I succeeded. Jacob's first gift from me was fruit. But we didn't click there. I thought he was impossible to reach for. So after that, they kept missing each other’s paths. Well, after a bad relationship and some time, i.e a year or so, we finally crossed paths in a way that would unknowingly change our lives. After conversing for hours about spirituality and goals in life, I told him he would make a great elder.... I WAS NOT FLIRTING!!! I SWEAR!!! Jacob told me I would one day find a brother out there that would recognize my progress and want to get to know me. And then the "smoothest move ever" as I put it, came right after. "Speaking of I'd like to hang out more and try to get to know you a lil bit better." Shock! Flustered! I literally read it out loud to my mom and sister because I just couldn't believe that the guy I thought was out of my reach was actually interested in me back. And after many awkward hangouts as just friends, we got closer. And BAM!!! Ren Faire came along and after we studied the dating article for Sunday watchtower that happened to come out just in time (I swear it was perfect timing), Jacob asked for me to be his girlfriend. And now, after getting to know each other so well, getting through some very hard conversations with tears and hugs, he's about to be my forever and I can't be any happier to spend the rest of my life with this unreachable man!!! I will follow him to the ends of the Earth, and Jehovah willing, reach whatever goals we decide to conquer!!!

Who and why is this strange woman judging me about not having blueberries before? Makayla was her name? And why did she leave with a group of friends to get me blueberries and then gave me a blueberry pastry and got me actual blueberries the next day? So odd, I naively thought. As time went on, we briefly talked here and there but never clicked. Then one day we ended up on a trip to Seaside together. And we had a few moments to talk about some broken parts of our lives and after that the beauty of the new world and how there won't be no more pain and suffering, we'd be living on a paradise earth together! However, still we did not click. Fast forward some months later and finally I got the nerve to talk to her and ask her out! And she was interested! It was kinda slow at first. Some bantering and stuff but after we hung out a few times with friends, I finally decided after getting to know her a bit to sit down with her and study the current Watchtower about dating at the time. Then I asked her to be my girlfriend, and she excitedly said yes! Since then, I've been so happy! Sure, we've had our rocky spouts but most importantly we get through ‘em and talk ‘em out. We've also had days where we cried together. Our spiritual goals may not fully align together, me wanting SKE and other grand goals in Jehovah's service, but I'd rather risk it with her and be content on where we end up in Jehovah service! We have become a stronger couple and as a result we are showing that love to Jehovah and the world through our marriage!
