Some people get serious about dating and keep it quiet around the kids. Jon wrote Reagan a letter.
Nearly a year before the engagement, when Jon and Keisha decided this was real and they were building something together, Jon sat down and wrote Reagan a letter. He didn't tell Keisha he was writing it. He didn't ask permission. He just decided he didn't want to withhold affection for Keisha in front of her daughter anymore — and that Reagan deserved to hear why directly from him.
In this episode Jon and Keisha introduce the Wisconsin stop and the friends who make it worth crossing state lines. Lisa — the woman who shows up with the right energy every single time, who communicates exclusively through spot-on one-liners, and whose husband Fred once had a very memorable encounter with law enforcement. Plus the Wisconsin old fashioned debate, a waterslide wedding dress moment that was never not going to happen, nine wedding dresses including one that belonged to Grandma, and the Cheese Castle.
The eastern leg of the tour is coming. Kentucky is next.

What is JK LOL Storytime?
Some podcasts are produced. This one is just us. Jon and Keisha sit down every week in their basement and talk about their lives — the funny parts, the hard parts, and the parts that are both at the same time. They come from hospitality, from dental offices, from bars that smelled like old wood and good whiskey, and from the kind of hard seasons that either break you or make you exactly who you needed to become.
This summer they're taking their wedding on the road. Nine ceremonies. Nine cities. Two countries. One father on a Harley. JK LOL Storytime is where it all starts.
