Jessica came into my life after her Mom (a patient at the PT clinic I worked at as a therapy tech) asked if I would ever be interested in being set up on a blind date with her daughter. Her mom was a chill patient so I agreed to it. I got Jess' phone number on March 31, 2015. With a little encouragement from my Best man, Rob, I texted her my smoothest pick up line "Hey Jess, it's AJ. How's it going?" - She was instantly hooked. We started texting back and forth for about a week and I could already feel a connection like I've never felt before, so I asked her on a date which she gladly accepted. We met up at Boondocks on April 4th of 2015. We went on plenty of fun dates and then I finally asked her to be my girlfriend on May 15, 2015. Through the ups and the downs of moving to California, long distance, school, and everything that goes with it; she has stuck by me with a positive word to say and cheerful smile to pick me up. I have fallen deeply in love with this woman and on August 25, 2017 after an amazing week in Cabo, I asked her to be my wife. I am so excited to start my life with Jess surrounded by all of our closest friends and family!

The first time I heard of AJ was via text from my mom. She was going to physical therapy and wanted to set me up with this "great catch" of a guy she met there, the only issue was my mom didn't know his full name so I couldn't Instagram/FaceBook stalk him. My mom involved Jessica Allen (who worked with AJ) to get his full name. She said his name was, AJ Kinnamon! Come to find out, AJ Kinnamon did not exist. After further investigation, I came across his Instagram account and I liked what I saw so I allowed my mom to give him my number. He texted me the most random text I've ever received from a stranger, but I was intrigued by his weirdness. He asked me to meet up for some drinks at Boondocks and after circling the block four times talking to my man of honor, Johnny, I decided to go in. And the rest is history. Jumping to 2017, after many adventures, many laughs and many trips back and forth from California to Arizona; AJ asked me to be his wife during the most amazing trip to Cabo! I am so thrilled to have our family and friends be a part of our special day, where we vow to love each other for eternity.
