Our story began in the pages of a middle school English class, where we first met, little knowing that our journey together would span over 14 incredible years. Through the different phases of growing up together, we were shaped by all the experiences that we shared. We weathered the storms of long-distance as Jake chased his football dreams at North Dakota while Lexi pursued her studies at Iowa State. Distance truly does make the heart grow fonder as it only deepened our love and strengthened our resolve. Now, living a mere two blocks from each other, we love to continue to share so many experiences together. Our bond is more than a love story; it's a testament to what we built together. Together, we've embraced every adventure, cherished every moment, and relished the privilege of growing up side by side. Our story is woven with threads of laughter, tears, and an enduring love that continues to flourish and we can't wait to celebrate it all with you!
