It all started on this little app called Bumble on January 28th, 2023. Jared and I talked for about two weeks after matching on Bumble before deciding to meet and go in our first date in mid-February. From then on out we established the routine someone making the 2-hour drive between Owensboro and Ft. Campbell every weekend. Most of the time Jared made the drive more than me (Yay nursing school!) and I couldn't be more thankful. Things were pretty normal until September of 2023 when Jared got deployed. It was hard being on opposite schedules most of the time, but we made it work and grew closer together from the experience. He finally returned home at 3am Christmas Day of that year, that was the best gift I could've asked for after missing most of our 1st holidays together. Once Jared came home, things went back to normal and we started to consider making plans for our future. Jared proposed on April 6th, 2024, at Radnor Lake in Tennesse. Now here we are starting our life together with amazing friends and family by our side
