Once upon a time in 2013, there was a 17 year old kid working in the Wolves Den, the school store at Bay City Central. Across the main hallway sat a 16 year old girl and her friend, whom she told, “I’m gonna make that boy fall in love with me- watch.” Over time and the clandestine operation of her and the boy’s best friend and Wolves Den coworker, the honorable Tommy Jacobs, she succeeded. Over the last eight years, the two navigated two years apart in college, starting their careers, and becoming parents to Bojangles and Mabel the cats, and of course, Oliver and Otis the pugs. On October 10th, 2020 with Oliver by his side, Jacob anxiously boarded Shepler’s ferry to head to Mackinac Island where he asked Aubrey to marry him.
