Jesse and I met in Jan. 2020 at a local Starbucks because that is my favorite place. That afternoon we texted for a bit throughout the day. That evening he invited me to his house. I lived in Suffolk then, and he lived in Aydlett, NC, about an hour 1/2 from me. Since that day, we have never stopped talking and seeing each other. Shortly after we met, COVID became a thing, and we were put on lockdown, forcing us to spend a ton of time together but not be able to go out and do anything. Spending each day together helped us learn a lot about each other. Most days were very easy, and the more time I spent with him, the more I knew I wanted to be with him forever. There was a time when I tried to push him away, but he didn't give up, and we kept pursuing each other. Jesse has taken in my family, my daughter & grandkids, like his very own; for that, I love him even more. We have a lot of fun together, and he is my very best friend, as I am his!
