It was May 2021. At the time, Aaron was living 15+ hours away in Massachusetts. He was in town visiting family and Jessica was a family friend. There were some hopes that the two of them would hit it off, but with the distance in mind it did not seem very realistic. Once the weekend came to an end, it was obvious that the two of them had chemistry. It felt a little bit crazy, the idea of doing long distance with someone you just met, but Aaron was determined to make it happen. They did long distance for 8 months, with visits almost every other weekend, and hours of FaceTiming, until Aaron moved to Greenville in January of 2022. They have been inseparable ever since!

Along with Aaron comes two bonus children, Naomi and Cillian Cormier. The kids spent last summer with Aaron and Jessica in Greenville soaking up the sun and southern lifestyle! In June 2023 they moved down south for the upcoming summer/school year. Along with Jessica comes two pups, Boone and Hazel. They have been a constant in Jessica's life for the past 6 years, and love their forever dad. The more the merrier, right?!
