Big Announcements, Storm Stories, MTE Shoutouts & MTSU Updates
Hello Murfreesboro, we’ve missed you! After an unexpected two-week break (thank you, winter storms and international travel delays), we’re finally back with a packed episode… and one MAJOR life update!
✔️ YES… we’re getting married!
We share the full proposal story from secret ring smuggling, windy-beach chaos, photographers in on the plan, and John’s 3-page speech… to the moment Jen finally realized what was happening. It’s hilarious, sweet, and absolutely worth the wait.
✔️ Special Guest: Andrew Oppmann from MTSU
We kick off the show with our friend Andrew discussing how MTSU handled the massive storm, campus closures, safety decisions, and their ongoing partnership with Middle Tennessee Electric (MTE). We also talk quantum studies, cybersecurity advocacy, and how local institutions work together behind the scenes.
✔️ Huge Shoutouts & Community Love
From Middle Tennessee Electric and their incredible crews working around the clock…
To nurses, doctors, and first responders hiking through snow with suitcases to care for patients…
To the MTSU team navigating outages and campus logistics…
We highlight the people who kept our community going through the recent storm.
✔️ Birthday Shoutout!
Happy birthday to Jen’s mom, the queen of German cooking and the heart of the family.
✔️ Travel Stories from Mexico
We recap our trip to Playa Mujeres: resort life, unexpected cold weather, Spanish “lessons,” and the storm that followed us home.
✔️ Wedding Plans + How YOU Can Be Involved
Yes… the community will get to help us plan the wedding!
Venues, hair, makeup, livestream ideas – stay tuned for polls and behind-the-scenes fun.
THANK YOU for all the love, comments, and congratulations. This community means everything to us. ❤️
