Jacob and Shelby first met in college when they both started working as associates at Dick's Sporting Goods. Shelby thought Jacob was just the greatest (and not bad looking either) and basically spent any time she wasn't answering fitting room dings or folding clothes, flirting with Jacob. Jacob thought Shelby was pretty cool as well and potentially the woman he could spend the rest of his life with. The two started hanging out outside of work on a regular basis. Shelby was finishing up her degree at St. Thomas and was hired with a different company which ended up causing the two friends to grow apart but the two stayed in touch and would hangout from time to time. This went on for the next 3 years... After a few months without talking to one another, Jacob saw Shelby out walking her beautiful beast Nala, he decided to reach out to Shelby and see if she wanted to get dinner. The two ended up walking their two fur babies and getting dinner, this would later become a weekly routine. Jacob expressed how he felt over dinner that evening and the two started seeing each other a few times a week. Shelby, being the gypsy soul she is, had plans to move to Arizona that summer and was leaving for a 3 week trip to Europe. Jacob had no choice but to follow the girl of his dreams to Arizona, where the two currently live with their fur baby, Odin (RIP Nala). Jacob proposed to Shelby May 06, 2017 in the presence of her two best friends at a winery in Sedona, AZ and the two will be wed October 5, 2018 in Mexico.
