Jordan and Jessica's story began in the summer of 2019 when they matched on the dating app Bumble, where women have to make the first move. Jessica had just moved to Green Bay for work and was looking to meet new people. Jordan, on the other hand, only downloaded the app because his best friend and best man, Dalton, was curious about it, and Jordan wanted to see what the hype was about.

Instead of jumping straight into a date, Jessica suggested they chat on the phone first to see if they clicked. As many of you know, Jordan loves to talk, so it was an easy conversation! Before their first date, Jordan mentioned he’d be away on a family trip to a “small town” up north that his family loves to visit with limited cell service, so he wanted to assure Jessica he wasn’t ignoring her. When Jessica asked where he was going, Jordan said, “It’s called Minocqua,” which made Jessica laugh — her mom grew up there, and her family owned the well-known Italian restaurant "Mama’s" for over 50 years! From that moment on, they were inseparable.

After that summer, Jordan still had one semester left at UW-Whitewater, so they navigated a long-distance relationship. He graduated in December 2019 and returned to Green Bay to job hunt. Then 2020 arrived. Jordan took Jessica out for her birthday dinner on March 14th, and they both remember being disappointed when the sushi conveyor belt was shut down due to what they thought was just “that silly virus.” The next day, everything shut down, and Jordan never left Jessica’s apartment during quarantine — he's been her forever roommate ever since!

In the winter of 2022, Jordan and Jessica grew their family by fostering and eventually adopting a dog! Moose, a golden retriever and chocolate lab mix, looks just like a brown golden retriever. At first, Moose was scared of Jordan and clearly favored Jessica, but after a few days, he warmed up to Jordan. Thanks to Jordan's love of roughhousing and playing fetch, Moose now sees him as the alpha of the pack. Moose has a big personality—he loves eating, going on walks (where he often hops around like a kangaroo, or so Jordan and Jessica like to think), and brings them joy every day!
