In the fall of 2019, Jackson was teaching a supplemental instruction class for microeconomics. SI is a mandatory smaller class that coincides with a larger lecture and is taught by a student who did well in years past. My friend Lauren and I just so happened to sign up for Jackson's class and went every week. One time we even talked about how cute he was and I proceeded to look him up on every social media platform. After the semester was over, we connected online. It wasn't too long before he asked me out on a date! Jackson took me to Onyx Coffee and Crystal Bridges and we talked for hours. The rest is history! Jackson ended up recreating that first date and proposing at Crystal Bridges in September!
