We go on our first date to the LU Thunderwolves game! A few months later we officially begin dating on November 10th.

Three months into dating, Jared joins Assia and her family on a trip to Cuba!

Jared begins his apprenticeship with the boilermakers, kickstarting the months we have to spend apart when Jared's at school or on jobs.

Jared goes on his longest job of 6 months as a boilermaker in Port Elgin, Assia drives 16 hours to make a surprise visit after many months apart!

Jared spends his first Christmas in Kenora!

Assia graduates from university and we decide to move to Kenora together as Assia starts her career as a Registered Nurse.

We attend Assia's sister's wedding, which gets Jared thinking maybe he wants to propose!

After many years, Assia spends her first Christmas in ThunderBay!

FINALLY!! After 5 years of dating, Jared pops the question on a weekend away to Winnipeg!

A month later, we purchased our first home together which leads to the beginning of the rest of our lives!
