In 2006, Josh and Jamie started the 6th grade. Jamie switched schools to the Northview school district. Her Grandma Belliel told her, "There is a cute boy who lives across the street - maybe you'll have class with him!" Sure enough, the cute boy was in her class; the [very] cute boy happened to be Josh. Josh and Jamie 'dated' on and off throughout the 6th grade. Jamie continued to have a constant crush on Josh throughout the seventh and eighth grades. They did not have any classes together, but Jamie always made sure to keep tabs on Josh and always knew where his locker was and where his classes were. In 2009 at the end of 8th grade, Josh and Jamie decided that they wanted to run through the sprinklers together at some point during the summer. July came and they still hadn't ran through the sprinklers, so Jamie texted Josh. They decided to get together to hang out and watched Cars. They continued to see each other over the next couple of weeks. Soon, the two went to Cheers for dinner, where they started to play hangman. Little did Jamie know that on August 31, 2009, her life would change forever when the solution to the hangman puzzle was, "Will you go out with me?" Josh and Jamie graduated high school together and went to Grand Valley State University together. They got engaged on December 24, 2015. They purchased their first home together in 2016 and recently got a Bernese Mountain Dog, Maui, together. Josh and Jamie will be getting married on their 9-year anniversary of dating each other. They are so excited to finally be getting married after being together for so long. They still haven't ran through the sprinklers together yet....
