Our story began between Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2019, the prime time to find a significant other. We started talking online, and after a couple weeks of exchanging messages about dogs, music, family, and the works, we went for a cup of coffee at Sunergos, followed by the worst first-date movie we could have possibly chosen (I won't name names but it was about conversion therapy, lol).

During our time dating we've shared several milestones. We both lived separately in a total of four different apartments, changed jobs three times, and moved into the amazing house we share today. In that time we have had two dogs, four cats, and a leopard gecko under our roof. In our relationship we have visited a total of 8 states, and most significantly (so far) has been our trip to Colorado.

Our trip to Colorado was very special to us. It wasn't just the biggest trip we have taken so far, but it was the trip we got engaged! We hiked up a trail to see the beautiful Colorado sites and check out a giant wooden troll. The base of the troll was the perfect place for us to start the rest of our lives together.

From Jess: After the movie on our first date, we spent the next two hours walking up and down Bardstown Road, talking and holding hands and simply enjoying each others company. It was so easy being with him, even with the first date jitters, as soon as we started talking I felt right at home.

We have found a lot of joy in sharing experiences together: concerts, festivals, camping, long weekend vacations, or just playing music or cooking a new meal together at home. He puts up with my shenanigans, even when I asked him to write Our Story for me, all he asked was when he needed to have it done. I have enjoyed our journey together so far and, I know it might be cliché, but I simply cannot wait for our wedding day!
