We met at Chico State University through CoCo (community council). Initially there was Christmas party with an ugly sweater contest. Jake won through with popularity, but I can assure you my sweater with a mirror taped to it was better. More creative. It wasn’t until ~9 months later Jake handed one of his friends his phone number written on a piece of paper. She gave it to me and I started texting soon after. Our first date was on Halloween when I was working as a resident advisor. Not glamorous, but it was sweet.
