Shortly before Thanksgiving 2017, Joey gets relocated from Arkansas to the DFW metroplex and is living in the north Dallas suburb of Allen, TX. About a 3 minute drive away from the hotel is a hole in the wall bar called the "Bethany Tavern". Joey loves his cigars and, being a smoke friendly spot, it was a great place to unwind. Little did he know, this is where he'd meet Jen! After a few months of the occasional casual chats, on February 6, 2018 we became each other's last first date! We've been inseparable ever since!

After starting to date in February, we have shared in a lot of fantastic adventures including: purchasing our first camper and proceeding to spend several weekends around lakes and campgrounds throughout Texas; traveled to Yuma, AZ for the wedding of fantastic friends and then again for amazing family birthdays. We participated in and enjoyed the sights at another friend's wedding in Las Vegas, NV and enjoyed the sunshine in Destin, FL. While we've had lots of fun so far, we are so excited for our next chapter and can't wait to celebrate our wedding with you! See y'all in Texas! GiddyUp!!
