Jacob and Nick met in 2019 while Nick was in the Navy, stationed in New Orleans. Hearing of each other through mutual friends, they decided to meet for dinner at Oceana Bar & Grill in the French Quarter. After dinner and a short walk around the quarter, they quickly realized they enjoyed spending time with each other. As Nick was from Wisconsin, Jacob was so eager to bring Nick to Thibodaux to show him Louisiana outside of New Orleans. Their first date in Thibodaux was at the Downtown Mudbug Boil Off. Just like that... Nick became an honorary cajun. Spending many afternoons and weekends together, Nick was leaving Active Duty Navy in late 2020. Knowing they wanted to begin the next step of the relationship, Jacob and Nick finished their own tiny house. Soon after moving into the tiny house, Jacob and Nick got their first dog, Lana. Along with Lana, they lived in the tiny house for 3 years. In a quick turn of events, they bought their first home in Thibodaux, LA on September 1, 2022. With a new house, came one more dog, Magnolia. In June 2024, Jacob and Nick will celebrate 5 years of time together. Thank you to all friends, family, and neighbors who have been there along the way!
