Jesse and I met in July 2020, in the midst of the COVID craziness. We were neighbors my junior year of college and his senior year of college. We started to talk a lot, and hung-out often in our friend groups.

August 5th, 2020, Jesse and I went on our first official date. We went to the Cheesecake Factory, and while we were waiting on our table Jesse asked me to be his girlfriend.

During our first year of dating, we faced a lot of challenges. From getting a puppy, Duke, and training him, to getting COVID and having to quarantine several times. We had also faced a tough snowstorm in February 2021. From COVID to snow storms, Jesse and I had a lot of time to connect and get to know each other.

Jesse and I share a love for traveling. From the mountains, to the beach we love traveling together and sharing new experiences together and making memories.

In December of 2021, Jesse finally convinced me to go on a ski trip with him. Jesse LOVES skiing. After our trip, Jesse was trying to plan another ski trip ASAP.

So, when the Compton family had suggested a ski trip in January of 2023, Jesse was all in.

FINALLY on January 22, 2023, during our ski trip, Jesse got down on one knee and proposed in the mountains of Park City, Utah.

We cannot wait to celebrate our special day with our closest friends and family, and we are so excited to see what comes next for us in the future!
