We met working together at Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, MO. Maggie would collect online orders for people, while Jared worked in the hunting department. We hit it off during our knife shop talks when we had a closing shift together. We officially started talking on September 26th, 2023. Our first date was October 26th, 2023, where we watched Coraline and ate tacos. November 13th, 2023, at 2 AM, in Maggie's driveway, is where we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. Jared proposed on our 2-year anniversary while we were in Montana, after Maggie asked him "when he was proposing" 1,024,000 times. We will be getting married on our 3-year anniversary.

We've gone on multiple trips together with family and friends to Florida, Montana, Sullivan, Wyoming, Branson, and Arkansas. We've seen several concerts together, such as Colter Wall, Pitbull, and Cody Johnson. Our favorite dates to do with one another are traveling, ice-cream runs, and cooking together. We also love going fly fishing together, but don't ask Maggie how many fish she's caught... We just love to hang out and be with one another. We're both so excited for this day to come!
