Everything changed when COVID attacked. When COVID happened Kara became an “essential” worker and Alex started to go to school full-time online. They spent more time together and fell even more in love.
During COVID Alex & Kara adopted a stray dog; a sassy, terrier named Jelly Bean. Jelly loves to hike with Alex & Kara on Raccoon River Trail and go to the dog park. Alex & Kara learned a lot of recipes and started making food homemade! Alex has become quite an amazing chef. If you have any recipes, share the love and send them their way!
