Jacob and I first met each other my freshman year of college, but I was terrified of him and wouldn't make eye contact, much less talk. A friend of mine had an older brother who organized a flag football intramural team that we would go watch. Jacob (and his best friend Jacob B.) would play, and I didn't dare interact with the scary older boys. Fast forward 2 years to January of 2019. During 21 days of prayer at Church of the Highlands, I noticed a cute guy that I recognized, but there was only one problem, he had this disgusting handlebar mustache... On the following Saturday, the older brother (Jacob B.) saw me and invited me to sit with them, so I came over and sat next to none other than the guy with the mustache. We attended a basketball game together that afternoon, and he asked if I would come over and let him cook me dinner. The rest is history.
