Jake quickly fell in love with my kitties.
Dash became his snuggle buddy. Dash sleeps on top of him every night and wakes Jake up at least twice a night to go outside. He’s like a dog. He pounces on Jake’s chest or whines until Jake wakes up, meanwhile I’m sleeping like a rock 😅

My dad owned property in Southern Ohio; a mountain top of woods overlooking the Ohio River. It was beautiful! Jake asked me if I wanted to go down to the property to say my goodbyes before my mom sold it. We went down Saturday 8/13/22 to shoot my gun, go hiking and have a fire. While sitting inside the cabin, Jake pours us champagne into 2 plastic cups and says let’s go to the rooftop and smoke. We went up to the rooftop and the sun was setting. Jake lit up, and handed me a long note. At the end of the note it said “Will You Marry Me?”. He then played a song he had made for me and got down on one knee and pulled out the ring. I was in tears, it was the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever done for me. He made it absolutely perfect!
The picture was taken after we got home bc we forgot to take a picture during all the excitement 😬

My little brother Jacob is such a good person. He’s so caring and helpful. He’s very thoughtful and appreciates everything.
Jake and I love to take him to do fun stuff. It’s a tradition for us to carve pumpkins and go to a haunted house every year for my birthday in October. In the picture we went to Maze Craze Corn Maze.
We also love planning him surprise birthday parties which his friends have made into a holiday every December. Also fun fact, Jake and my brother Jacob have the same first and middle name, Jacob Ryan.

This is my other little brother. He was one of the smartest people I knew. He was extremely handy and always taught himself how to do anything. He loved playing video games and was one of the best. He enjoyed hanging out with friends and loved to party. One of my favorite memories with him was at Nelsons Ledges, we lit the trails with glow sticks, stayed up late walking around and having deep talks about life.
Nate went through a bad breakup and was feeling lost. He met his new girlfriend, Andrea and she had my beautiful niece, Dallas. Nate was so excited to be a dad. He started working really hard to better himself and his life to be a good dad. Then suddenly On August 6, 2023, we received a tragic call. Nate was in a fatal car accident. He was supposed to come see our new home that day as we just got the keys days before. Loosing him has been extremely difficult. But I know he’s at peace and watching over his little girl. I know he’s here is spirit.
