This surprises me because our first date, two days earlier, consisted of us sitting in a hospital because I had a bad UTI. Somehow this didn&#8217;t scare her away. At the time she lived in Maryland, courtesy of Tennessee, so let&#8217;s just say she&#8217;s well traveled! Shortly after meeting, she started looking for places to live in Pennsylvania. She found one, got a teaching job relatively close and made the move! I credit her for going with her heart and moving to Pennsylvania. I would like to think we would have made it one way or another, but what she did solidified us even more! We&#8217;ve been through a lot together in the past 365 days but nothing too powerful to break us apart from each other. We can finish each other&#8217;s sentences and are often thinking about the same thing at the same time, she&#8217;s beautiful inside and out, very smart and funny, has a wonderful family including a son she adores, amazing fur children, tolerates and even enjoys watching sports, has a team in my fantasy football league, loves the same kind of music but has her own taste as well, and the list goes on and on. Just a few examples of why I know she&#8217;s my person and it must have been an act of God for us to have found each other after what we&#8217;ve both been through. I often pray and thank him for bringing her in my life when he did. It was a prayer answered and no doubt a blessing to everyone in my world that has and will meet her! I love you Jennifer Lynn! To the Moon and back! \ud83d\ude42 &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2391\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n-1024x767.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n-768x575.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.aaronwood.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/448347501_1280612519579414_8731040300186732041_n.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year ago today Jennifer and I were officially a couple.
