Our story started at Illinois State University, Jeff and I both have similar interests in our studies and we were in some of the same classes. The first class we had together we didn't talk at all although it turns out we both knew where each other sat in class. In the fall of 2015 we were both in the same Emergency Preparedness class. One afternoon while walking home from class, Jeff who happened to live in the apartment complex across the street asked if he could borrow my book. Which I of course lent him and as Jeff says I willingly gave him my number. I later learned that Jeff didn't do any homework nor does he read books. It was all a ploy in order to try and talk to me. We made things official and started dating on October 19th, 2015 which is why our wedding date of October 19th, 2019 is so special to us.
