Jake and Katie met on November 2, 2019. They were introduced through Katie's high school friend and Jake's college roommate. Jake volunteered to give Katie a ride back to her car across the UNI campus. Throughout that short car ride, their small talk revealed they had a lot in common. As they were saying their goodbyes Katie decided to ask Jake for his phone number. The rest is history!
