Happy Valentine's Day!

Our Love Story

Jay and Jessica in their early days
The Beginning

It all started in middle school, where I sat just in front of you in class. I noticed you every single time you walked past my desk, and every time, I felt that pull to get your attention. Even though our middle school days were a bit rocky, I’m so glad we found our start back then. It took a few years for our paths to cross again in a meaningful way. Coincidentally, it happened when I ended up sitting right in front of you again during our sophomore year of high school.

High School Years

We began dating during our high school years as the world started to open up for us. We took our first steps toward exploring it together. We would watch movies, visit food festivals, and spend days at the beach. Then, on August 15, 2016, at 11:16 PM, I finally made it official and asked you to be my girlfriend.

College Adventures

During college, we grew as individuals and as a couple. We stepped into adulthood together and began to look beyond our island. One of my favorite memories from those years was our trip to Maui. It was there we really started dreaming about our future, which eventually led us to our biggest adventure yet...

Aloha from Washington

Soon after college, we took a big leap forward by moving up to Seattle, Washington. There, we truly learned how to live our lives together. We got our first apartment, bought our first car, and experienced many new things together. Everything was scary and new, but we found all the comfort we needed just by experiencing it with each other.
