Jake and Hope met in Helena, MT while attending school at Carroll College (Go Saints!). They met through a mutual friend at a birthday party over the summer of 2020. They slowly became friends after Jake came to Hope’s rescue and helped shovel out a car during a snow storm. Overtime, seeing each other more and more, their friendship developed into a loving relationship.
