How we met

November 2015

Jacob and I met on a Sunday night in November 2015 at Cornerstone Church. The College and Career Ministry (C3) was hosting service. I sat down in an empty pew, three rows from the front right, then in walked the Carrillo brothers- Jacob and Richard. They were ushered to sit in the same seat. I thought nothing of it, that was until Jacob sat down - right next to me. I gave him a side-eye glance, and he flashed a big smile. I smiled awkwardly. After service he lingered a while, asking for my phone number to send the video he had captured of my friend's spoken word piece. I obliged, while rolling my eyes. Jacob, paying too much attention, overheard a friend wish me a "happy belated birthday." He then hurried ahead of myself and my girlfriends as we chatted. Jacob purchased dinner on the grounds tickets for myself and my mother, Hazel, and in additional tickets for the Christmas play. He then turned around, flashing that smile, hands me the tickets and says,"Happy Birthday!" The look of surprise on my face showed I didn't know what to say, Richard interjected: "just take advantage- I do!" I smiled, grabbed a friend, and we got to know each other under the stars. A month passed, C3 was hosting their Annual Potluck Christmas Party. Love must have been in the brisk December air that night, Jacob acted chivalrously to help me to my car. He then perched on the cold asphalt to talk. Jacob asked if I would like to continue our conversation at dinner on Saturday night, I smiled and said "Yes." Being spontaneous, the Friday night before our first date he asked me to come downtown with the Spanish-speaking Young Adults- UnET, We had a wonderful time walking the river walk and singing Christmas Carols at the Alamo. The following night, being the perfect gentleman, he spared no expense or attention to detail; our first date was perfect! Our "third" date, the following Saturday, we attended the opening of the best Sushi restaurant in town, Uni'ko. Jacob says, he saw Stardust!
