We’re not two halves made whole—we’re two whole people making space. Proof you don’t have to lose yourself to love or shrink to stay close.

We met in our hometown the summer before Grace began her PhD. Our first conversation lasted until sunrise. Jared took things slow, telling Grace—even with her aversion to commitment—that “even five minutes with you is a blessing.” There wasn’t one big moment, just a hundred small ones. It felt less like falling and more like realizing that love could run deeper than fear ever dared to go.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We hiked to a waterfall where Jared read Grace’s college thesis on ancient roman poetry. We talked about gender roles, breaking trauma cycles, and the kind of compassionate lives we hope to build. At the top of the falls, with the world below us and our hearts wide open, he asked to kiss her. It wasn’t fireworks—it was quieter, steadier. Like recognition. Like exhale. Like finally coming home.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d pay down student debt—because freedom from that weight would let us give more freely to others. Grace is pursuing her PhD in cancer biology, and Jared’s an artist, teacher, and builder; we dream of creating a life rooted in service, creativity, and care. This gift would help us build a home where future kids grow up knowing love isn’t flashy—it’s steady, intentional, and shared.
