How we met

Middle School then reconnected 10 years later...

We met on the first day of middle school. Jacob can still remember a classmate coming up to him and pointing to the blonde girl sitting under the tree asking if Jacob would be her boyfriend. Like most 12 year old's our relationship did not last long. We grew up, years went by (about 10 of them). Tracy went off to college and Jacob went into the Army. When Jacob returned from his deployment to Iraq, we ran into each other. We talked a lot and Jacob couldn't stop staring. Jacob was too intimidated and too afraid to ask her on a date. Luckily he found the courage to a few days later, which she declined. Jacob, however did not give up and Tracy eventually agreed to let him take her to dinner. Years later, Jacob still says he's so happy he didn't give up because it led him to the love of his life.

The Proposal

11.04.2016

After 5 years together, we flew out to New York City with our best friends to vacation and watch Jacob run the NYC marathon. We all thought the race was the reason why we were in New York but Jacob spent the day nervously playing with a ring in his pocket. We grabbed lunch in Central Park at an Italian restaurant (Tracy's favorite). We spent day day site seeing had one of the best seafood dinners we have ever had in Manhattan. We all then went back to the hotel where the girls agreed to meet the guys at the top of the Rockefeller Tower that night after getting ready. When we all met up, Jacob nervously asked if we could go out on the observation deck overlooking the entire city. We happened to be the only two out there during this moment. It was at that moment that Jacob got down on one knee, told Tracy that he loved her, and asked her if he could spend the rest of his life loving her. She of course said, YES!!! We are so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our lives with you! See you in Bayfield!
