Setting... Round table with Jess, Erin, Bethany, Blake's roommate and Blake. Introductions... Blake "my name is like 'lake' but with a B..." Jess "My name is like Jesus but without 'u'..." And so it began a true friendship that turned into romance... FIRST DATE: The restaurant Clocked in Athens, GA in November of 2014. We ended it with a beautiful sunset ride through Atlanta. It was so GREAT! Blake was also late to his flight due to traffic. Fun times. .............................................................................................. We separated for some years .............................................................................................. June 3rd, 2019... Jess texts Blake, hey, let's meet up... Jess bought the flight that night. July 5th, 2019... Top Golf, Zoo, Farm, Fireworks... at the end of the weekend we were together again. January 2020... Blake quits his job and moves to Georgia. (Smart move, Blake ;)) May 1st, 2021... We both ended up on a paddle board and he bent the knee, almost tipping us over. In which, Jess turns around to complain about their almost demise. However, she finds a BEAUTIFUL ring in Blake's hand that was meant for her. <3
