How we met

Picture of How we met

Katelin & I met at probably the most intense two years our lives, during PA school. Although it was very busy and very taxing with all the exams and rotations, I would also say it was the two most enjoyable years of my life, a HUGE part of that of course being that those two years are when Katelin & I fell in love. Contrary to what people might think we actually did not do a lot of studying together during the first year of school, but both looked forward to finishing whatever studying we had to do for that night so we could talk and not think about school for an hour or so. We learned a lot about each other walking my roommate's dog, Ozzie. About twice a week I would ask Katelin if she wanted to come over and walk Ozzie with me. Katelin, being the much more studious one, would give me an open-ended answer - saying she had a lot of catching up to do and so on, but she would always end up coming over. Ironically it was Ozzie who I first told that I was falling in love, after a late night phone conversation with Katelin about 5 months after meeting her. Before our relationship really got going I had a couple wing men (you know who you are) and she had her girls guiding us to each other. I love her for her and she loves me for me, (as I found out after she stayed with me after a certain mishap in Kansas City). We have already had some amazing adventures and have been there for each other in hard times, and I literally could not dream up a more amazing woman to spend the rest of my adventures, hardships, and life with. ~Jake

The Proposal

Jake proposed on September 19, 2014 at Lake Zorinsky in Omaha, NE. It was a beautiful Friday evening. We had always talked about having a picnic there so I didn't think much of it when Jake suggested we do that. Then Jake surprised me with a canoe by the water. Again, we had talked about renting a canoe plenty of times as well so I still wasn't too suspicious. It was about the middle of the lake, when the sun was quickly going down, & sweat was starting to pour down Jake's face from rowing so fast - that I realized something was up!;) We docked near a gazebo & Jake walked me out onto the deck, I then started hearing music (Bruno Mars, "Marry Me") playing and turned around to see all of our closest family & friends walking towards us! I'll never forget that moment! Jake's three month old niece, Olivia, then came up to me with a ring in her hand (and her mom's;)...wearing a pink onesie that said, "Will you be my Aunt?" I of course told Olivia yes & then turned around to see Jake down on one knee. I really have no clue what he said but I know it was the happiest moment of my life so far & I can't wait to marry this man! ~Katelin

We are very excited to share our special day and lives with all of you, and are looking forward to one heck of a party on October 17th!
