Jennifer grew up in Centralia, WA and Dena grew up in Southern Nevada. Neither of us could have predicted this moment but both of us are elated to be sharing it now.

Jennifer and Dena first met in 2021 while Dena was finishing nursing school and Jen was working as a 911 Dispatcher but getting ready to transition to a new job. Being that it was during a pandemic year, the first few dates were over the phone or on FaceTime. In fact, Dena was so nervous for the “first date” that she actually got dressed and ready, put on perfume and brushed her teeth- just to sit in the living room and talk to Jen on FaceTime! Jen locked herself out of her car while leaving work, feeling so much anticipation for the same FaceTime call. She was worried Dena would think it was an intentional stand up. We met in person soon thereafter and have been inseparable since!

Two years later and the nerves are mostly gone. Time seemed to go by fast and life just seems simple and fun. Our similar upbringings and past experiences made common ground easy to find in one another.

We are both grateful to our families and bonus families that consist of friends and colleagues. Each person in our lives has made us better in some way or another. We have always enjoyed outdoor activities and time with our favorite people but also, we are not the type to be the center of attention all the time. We couldn’t think of a better way to share this moment in our lives with you. At a place that accommodates everyone comfortably, allows for various outdoor activities, good food, good people and overall a good time. It’s our way of appreciating each other and all of you, because we believe we all are better together!
