It was Jerry’s 7th grade summer going into 8th grade in Hermiston and my 8th grade summer going into 9th grade, Jerry heard I was moving to Hermiston for high school. He looked me up on Facebook, sent me a friend request. I accepted and then he “poked” me on Facebook. We pushed the “poke” button back and forth until he finally sent me a message on Facebook. Eventually we got to swapping numbers and staying as good friends. Then his sophmore year, my junior year, in 2014/2015 we officially started dating! (He says it’s because I wanted the star football player but I disagree ;)) It took me a whole year to finally hang out with him because I was so shy! When I finally got over the fear of being shy and awkward, we finally told our parents about eachother. Later on, I graduated and went to college in Eugene while Jerry was still in Hermiston. We overcame the long distance and rocky paths and eventually moved in together and have been living together since 2017! We were together for 6 years when he FINALLY asked me to be his wife. We cannot wait for this new adventure and beginning for us, and we are more thankful and excited to have each of you by us on our special day.
