We weren’t looking for love—

Spring 2022 found Jamie joking with her friend Andrea at lunch after church, who casually mentioned a kind fireman named Andy. “Ooh, is he hot?” Jamie teased. Andrea’s eyes went wide as she gasped, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner?!” Cue the matchmaking plot twist.

Andrea began slyly dropping breadcrumbs about Jamie and Andy to each other. Meanwhile, Jamie’s friend Caitlyn needed help filling her new above-ground pool. Jamie asked Andrea to inquire with Andy if the fire department did that sort of thing. Andrea replied, “Ask him yourself,” then went silent. So, Jamie reached out to Andy—reluctantly. He had questions. She had answers. And just like that, messages turned into conversations, and conversations turned into a plan to meet on May 30th. Jamie insisted: “This is not a date.” Spoiler alert—it absolutely was.

Before they could even say hello at Rusty Taco, they found themselves helping a woman who had collapsed nearby. Jamie held her. Andy assessed and took the lead in coordinating with emergency responders. That moment told them something powerful: they were both willing to show up and care deeply for someone in need.

From that chaotic taco-shop beginning, they began building something meaningful. Life threw its punches—healing from past struggles, growing in faith, supporting Levi through baseball seasons, rebuilding work after a cybersecurity crisis… and the motorcycle accident in April 2024. When Jamie arrived at the scene and said, “I got you,” Andy knew—that was it. She was the one he wanted to spend forever with.

Their journey has been one of laughter, tears, healing, growth, and relentless grace. Through every high and low, God has been weaving their story together for good.
