Jessup Student and Local Blogger Out on Date with Rival School Student
Jessica Beukelman

Columbus Day 2016, Simpson Student, Rolf Sollie, arrived at William Jessup University to take blogger, Moriah Joy, on an adventure in celebration of her 19th birthday. Their date started out at Origin Coffee, a local coffee house dedicated to fighting sex trafficking, and ended at Johnson-Springview Park, a community park and home to the WJU Cross-Country team. The couple, currently in a long distance relationship, was ecstatic to spend this time together. Joy even elected to skip her Monday classes.

When Sollie arrived late morning, Joy was wearing jean shorts and a mickey mouse t-shirt. Sollie grabbed her hand and brought her to the car. The couple headed to Origin where they ordered a poppyseed muffin and an Americano for Joy, and a coconut pastry and Earl Gray tea for Sollie.

Breakfast was short-lived, however, as Joy had a doctor’s appointment at 1:00 p.m. After the appointment, they drove back to Jessup and attended her weekly Rosary Prayers. Sollie said that, while he didn’t enjoy the experience, he appreciated seeing into her world, and it left him with food for thought. Joy was a little more positive, “It was truly divine to have him worshipping with me.”

Yvette (Yeti) Perez, Joy’s teammate and a colleague of Sollie’s, made an appearance afterward to catch up with the couple and “finally see them in person.”

Business appointments out of the way, the couple resumed the date-like nature of their day, but this time in a little more style. Sollie grabbed a suit out of his vehicle and then the two changed into evening wear. Joy wore a burgundy spaghetti strap dress embroidered with gold sparkles, and Sollie wore a white dress shirt, gray vest, navy blue tie, and black slacks.

They headed to the park with Jessica Beukelman, a friend of Joy’s who offered to take pictures. For the next hour, Beukelman bossed the couple around the park in order to get the perfect shot. The couple climbed on fences, swings, and trees at her request. Beukelman said the experience was “quite enjoyable.” She “had a very good time,” and “got to meet a cat so that was fun.”

Once the memory card was full, the couple, along with Beukelman, drove back to campus. Beukelman left for class and Sollie escorted Joy to work. Before he left, Sollie kissed Joy’s head and wished her a happy birthday. He then walked to his car and drove the 3 hours back to Simpson University, where he is studying to be a teacher.

Joy ended the day with a post on Instagram.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
