State trap shooting meet Brooklee's senior year. Brooklee claims to have outshot Jacob at this event...Jacob's memory is too weak to know if this is true or just Brooklee capitalizing on that weak memory.....(This is Jacob, please don't tell her I said that)

Selected high school senior picture. Although Jacob and Brooklee attended the same high school, the trap shooting team was where they truly met. Ask us about it or seek out Brad Dietrich at the wedding reception as he was also subjected to that(awkward) first interaction as the trap coach at the time.

Christmas tree shopping, December 2023. Although we lived in an apartment, we decided we wanted a real tree. Jacob "disposed" of this one after the holidays by throwing it into the wooded area behind the apartment building. Brooklee was less than impressed when she found out what his "great idea" was.

A good birthday for me(Jacob). I convinced Brooklee that Aspen had something stuck in his paw, to which she freaked out until she noticed it was shiny like a ring! She was then even more distressed out, but I still got a yes out of her anyway! Aspen got plenty of treats that afternoon...
