Neither of us saw this love story coming, but we are both beyond thankful that timing had everything to do with it. Jordan and I have known each other since high school, and went to college together but never dated. We had both moved away after college to start our careers and find out what else life had to offer us. Turns out, everything we could have dreamed of was right here all along. I moved back to Iowa before Jordan, although he was home every weekend to see friends and family. One of those weekends we ran into each other at Shotgun Betty's while we were out with mutual friends and he asked me on a date, I politely declined. After multiple weekends of spending time in that mutual friend group, our spot became Pally's, where we played darts. Jordan challenged me to a game, but the kicker was if he won I would go on a date with him. I agreed and lost, but decided double or nothing was a good idea. As you can guess, I lost the second game and now here we are 3 years later with a cozy house, a beautiful black lab, and ENGAGED!
