Jacob and I met in grade school at St. Martin of Tours. Once SMT closed, we transferred to St. Dominic Savio grade school. We always had the same mutual friends. Once we graduated from St. Dominic Savio, I decided to go to Bishop Dubourg High School, and Jacob went to St. Mary's High School. We always stayed friends and would hang out with our friend groups most weekends. Starting Sophomore year of high school, Jake and I went to all of the St. Mary's homecomings together. We both had really liked each other since late grade school years, but we didn't want to hurt our friendship. Finally, at the beginning of senior year, I accidently set Jake up with a friend from high school. Once I realized they went out to get ice cream, I realized I was very jealous. Late August, I messaged Jake out of the blue late at night and asked "why have you never asked me out?" Well looking back at it present day, he totally asked me out a few times other than going to dances together. After high school, Jake went off to MIZZOU and I stayed in STL and went to community college. We did long distance all 4 years of college. Now, Jake and I have bought our first home together in St. Louis South County and are very excited to share this time with all of you.
