How We Met

Way back in Middle School

Rachel's friend had moved to Cle Elum in 6th grade and Rachel went to visit a few times. Logan, the friend, became friends with Jay and his friends. One of the times Rachel visited, her and her friend went to the Ellensburg rodeo with Jay and his friends, and that is where we met. The next few times Rachel visited Cle Elum we met up with Jay and his friends as well, and one day in particular that Rachel remembers was riding quads to the river and getting to ride with Jay. Then we stayed in touch over messenger on and off till Jay moved to the other side and joined Rachel at Mount Si. We then became closer hanging out after school here and there and Jay would visit Rachel at the River's Edge, where she worked. After high school we lost touch, although Jay tried here and there to reach out and ask how Rachel was doing. Finally in November of 2018 Rachel responded to Jay and began talking on Facebook which then turned into texting. We then finally went on our first date in March of 2019, where we went to Sushi! A week later we had our second date and were inseparable and continued going on dates, and hanging out until Rachel moved in, in May 2019. Throughout the years we have had our ups and downs, but they have all lead us to where we are now! We recently made the move over the mountains to Ellensburg where we have some land and a home; we plan on living in for many years to come! We are so excited for this season of life!
