Jake and I actually met at a liquor store, (the only one in Brookings) a month into his first year working there, on my first day working there! This was in 2018, when we were both students at SDSU. (Go Jacks!) I would like to say that we hit it off the very first day, but it wasn't until we were told by another coworker that we should talk to each other, (and to customers) that we actually did! From that day on, we slowly got to know each other through shifts worked together; which turned into hanging out after shifts. In 2022, we officially became a couple after some time (2 1/2 months) apart, and I realized how much I missed his attention and love that he always had shown to me. Skip to a couple months later, and he moved to Huron so we could be closer. Since then, we have: owned and decorated an apartment together, bought a home together, and adopted a kitten to befriend my older cat. Jake proposed on February 7th, 2024 and since then we have had the joy and fun of planning our wedding! We can't wait to see what else is in store for us in the future!
