We were a match at the first swipe! Well technically, I liked his dating profile and he liked my dating profile and THEN we matched!

We met on the famous Hinge dating app! Totally not like us, but between work and gym life, who has time to meet on aisle 5 of your local grocery store anymore! We hit it off on the app and decided to meet at Lake Atalanta to make sure neither of us were catfishing each other. He brought his yellow lab Gary, and I brought my brother's labrador retriever, Kingsley, who I was dog sitting at the time (I would have brought Shaggy, but I needed to check Jacob out first). We walked all around Lake Atalanta, or should I say pulled around Lake Atalanta by our labradors and had a great time getting to know one another. The Lake Atalanta meet up led to our first date at Theo's Restaurant a week later, which was then followed up with a Sunday Night AFC showdown between my Kansas City Chiefs and the Bengals. This was the true test to see if Jacob could hang, if you know me then you know how crazy I am about my Chiefs and how not so crazy I am about the Bengals. Luckily, I did not scare him off with my screaming at the TV and he came back for more! He asked me to be his girlfriend the day before Super Bowl LVII in 2023 which marks my favorite Super Bowl EVER because the Chiefs not only defeated the Eagles, but I also became someone's person. We did life together after that, Jacob, me, Gary, and Shaggy!

Then, June 22, 2024, he took me and the dogs back to Lake Atalanta where we first met and dropped to one knee while I was holding a bag of Shaggy's poop in my hand. After I realized what was happening, I quickly tossed the poop bag at my Sister who was recording, and looked right at Jacob and said the easiest word I could ever say to his question, YES!
