Hi, it's Abbi.

Jalen and I have known each other for almost forever. We went to the same elementary school, graduated high school together, chose colleges on complete opposite sides of the country, and got engaged after freshman year. The plan was always to get married in 2025 after we graduated college. But plans change. This year, Jalen switched to an A.S. in Product Design instead of a B.A. He plans on finishing his degree later, but for now he's pursuing a job in Grove City, PA, where we plan on living while I finish out my B.A. in English. We might stay in Grove City for only a year, but it might be longer.

Moving the wedding date up by a year has definitely made things a little crazy, but it felt right for our current life circumstances. And now our greatest adventure can start even sooner.
