Our featured couple this month is Jim and Cindy and here is their story. Cindy was born in Georgia where she lived for a couple of years before moving to Michigan. Since then she has mostly lived in the Stanton area. She graduated from Central Montcalm High School, then went to MCC (Montcalm Community College). There she graduated with her Associates degree in Early Childhood Development and a Liberal Arts and Science Associates. She then went into the field of education as a Para-Professional/Teacher Assistant.
Jim was born in Lansing and grew up in St. Johns where he graduated from St. Johns High School. After graduation, he moved to Grand Rapids to spread his wings for a couple of years with his friends. Once back home he did some roofing, siding and construction on his own. Then in 2007 he started working for Wick Buildings. Now he is a Forman and has his own crew.
Jim and Cindy met through Match Makers and had their first blind date on July 1, 2010 at the Soaring Eagle Casino. They were inseparable from then on. That fall Jim convinced Cindy to let Jordan wrestle. This is when Jim and Jordan bonded together, with matching wrestling shoes and a wrestling mat to follow. Thanksgiving of 2011 they bought a house near Crystal. Then Christmas of 2013 he FINALLY proposed and they were married that following June. Things they enjoying doing as a family is supporting Jordan in all of his sports and activities (football, wrestling, track, band, baseball and cross-country) and Mud Bogging. Of course, camping is right up there too. They got started in a pop-up and 5 years later they have graduated to a fifth wheel.
