It was Monday on March 28th, 2022 around 8:00 PM. I had a rough day all beginning with a flat tire on my way to work, sketchy tow company, crazy day at the office, and to top it off, the repair shop forgot to leave my keys in my car upon closure. Finally after waiting in their parking lot for an employee to deliver me my keys, I began my 35 minute trek home. All of that aside, I was beyond hungry as its nearing my old-lady bedtime. I pulled into McDonalds in Bloomer and ordered the classic 10 piece McNuggets with ranch- of course! As I pulled ahead to pay for my meal, I noticed that there was a deputy behind me. Male, female, young, old; I had no idea. I took a split second to realize that their day could be a lot worse than mine was. I knew I had to do something about it in which I paid for their meal too. Little did I know.. 20 minutes after leaving that I would get a message on Instagram from someone trying to thank me for paying for their meal. Now, I wont get into detail about how he got my name, but I’m sure you can put two and two together. Needless to say, Jake returned the favor with Texas Roadhouse and Coldstone a few days later.

A year and a half later we set off on a hike at Lake Wissota State Park and Jake excitedly got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes and the rest is history !
