We met December 2006 at Florida Metropolitan University in a training class to start our new jobs as Admissions Recruiters. We can’t say it was love at first sight, but we DEFINITELY noticed each other. During a meeting half the class was pulled out, including Jackie, who was sitting in a chair closest to the table. Andy took that opportunity to chair hop and “steal” that chair. Needless to say Jackie was not impressed, and he knew it. She ended that day with a phone call to her mom, telling her about the “jerk” who stole her chair. Her mom told her to brush it off and ignore him. That seemed like that would have been the end of the story, but God had other plans! We started dating February 2007, became parents to Sophia Everly in 2013 who was shortly followed by her brother Lucas Daniel in 2016. On Sunday August 20, 2017, Andy with the help of Sophia asked for Jackie’s hand and she said YES!
