Our journey began in the halls of University of Missouri, where we both studied accounting in grad school. Adam, a Mizzou tiger through and through, completed his undergrad at Mizzou. Jackie, on the other hand did her undergrad in Minnesota and came to Mizzou for grad school with the support of her employer. Her plan was to return to Minnesota after graduation, but fate had a different idea.

We had accounting classes together which is where we first noticed each other. However, it wasn't until homecoming weekend when our paths truly crossed. I ran into Adam at his fraternity during a tailgate which is where he asked me on our first date.

After our first date, I came home to tell my roommates that I was going to marry Adam one day. From that moment on, we were inseparable. Sharing classes meant countless hours spent on discussing debits, credits, and financial statements, but it also led to shared laughter, late-night study marathons, and the discovery of our mutual love for numbers and each other.

Meeting Adam changed my path and I decided to move to Missouri after doing long distance for 1 year post graduating. Now, as we look forward to our future, we are excited to continue writing our love story, one chapter at a time. We can't wait to celebrate this next step with all of you!
