Jared and I met 11 years ago on New Years Eve. Back then we were drawn to each other, but lost touch for many years. This last spring, Eharmony reunited Jared and I and we had our first date in June. We both had a good feeling from the beginning and it has never changed.

We were engaged November 25th, 2009 on Thanksgiving Eve. Thank you Jesus! If you'd like to view our engagement story, please watch this cool video my sweety made! Love you all, JOY (Copy and paste it to your browser) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chjHnSTa7to
