We met at a junior high track meet and I immediately had the biggest crush on him. Jake wasn't ready quite yet to stop being such a flirt...

...but he finally caught up a year later. We started dating at the end of our 8th grade year.

He planned the surprise of a lifetime by proposing on my family's trip to Ireland, after have been dating for 7 years! We were staying at a castle in Ireland and we went fishing on the pond there. He got down on one knee in the row boat, pulled the ring out of his wallet, and of course I said, "YESS!" We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you November 2019!
