On January 8th of 2022 Dakota State University traveled to Dickinson, ND for a conference game. After the game Jacob couldn’t stop thinking about how good looking Morgan was and had to add her on snapchat. Morgan decided to add him back and they started talking. A couple months later Morgan was playing in the National Tournament in Billings Montana, so Jacob decided to drive 4 hours to meet for the first time. Things kicked off fast and conversation was easy and never felt awkward. Once basketball was over track season started for the both of them. They would talk during track meets…even if that meant Morgan was the last one on the bus. Once track was over they continued to talk but never saw each other unless they FaceTimed. Then during Christmas break of 2022 Jacob drove 6 1/2 hours through the night to spend Christmas with Morgan and her family. Like before things picked up right where they left off. They continued to make 7 hour drives to and from Dickinson to Madison. Then on September 17th Jacob asked Morgan to marry him…and of course she said yes! Now they both live in Madison, SD with their puppy Nala Jo.
