It all began in 2019 when we were introduced through a mutual friend. From our very first date at Timbercreek Restaurant, Jared won my heart. We couldn’t stop talking, and from that moment on, we’ve been inseparable.

Since then, we’ve shared countless adventures—whether it’s exploring new places, hiking scenic trails, or trying new activities. One adventure that stands out is our hike in the Grand Canyon, where we walked for probably 20 miles over the weekend. Jared was convinced he’d have to carry me out of the canyon, but together, we made it through!

Our travels have taken us far and wide—from Arizona to Vegas, Punta Cana to Jamaica. With each trip, we’ve built memories and deepened our love for each other and the world around us.

When Jared moved back to Erie, we were finally able to live together and grow our lives as one. And it was on a special return to Timbercreek—where it all began—that Jared took me by surprise in November 2023. In the rain, at the spot of our first date, he got down on one knee and asked me to spend forever with him.
