Jon and I met two years ago through one of my high school friends. Our first date was a blind date, and I insisted that I made it very clear that Jon and I were only going to be “friends”. She relayed the message to Jon and also warned him not to worry if I didn’t get back to him as I often had “phone trouble”, and I was usually pretty busy.

We finally went on our first date to the First Post and hit it off. I was surprised that Jon was so perfect for me in what seemed to be so many ways. After that date, I had told my friend that she did a good job this time and Jon was pretty special. Our second date was spent at one of his friend’s bonfires where I unintentionally “ghosted” him as my phone screen went completely black mid-drive to meet him. With no phone, no address, and a second failed attempt to finally see him for a second date, I thought I was doomed. It turned out that our second date led to a third, fourth, and so on.

Jon and I instantly grew closer and closer. As time went on, we established how important God, family, and our friends meant to us. The world truly knows how long I’ve waited for this one, and I must say that “He’s a Kiefer”.

I will forever be grateful that my friend picked Jon for me. He’s easily my forever.
