Jake and Kenzie’ a love story began while attending Southern Oregon University. Jake was a football player and studied communications, while Kenzie was a cheerleader and majored in education. They met in a communications course, where Jake received a higher grade than Kenzie. Upon graduating, they settled in Salem, Oregon and started their careers as educators. In 2022, they bought their first home, and a year later, they got engaged in the midst of their loved ones.
