Jade and James met the summer of 2018 at a mutual friends graduation party. After they first met, they started to get to know each other over the summer. They decided to make things official in October of 2018; Jim was living in Green Bay, WI, and would drive 5 hours home several weekends to come visit Jade. Jim graduated in 2021 with his nursing degree, Jade followed with her nursing degree in 2023. During this time they moved in their first apartment in Cambridge, MN. After a year and a half of apartment living they purchased their first home in Pine City, MN. They now have a cute puppy named Dolly and are LOVING the life they have built together!
