JT and Jordon met during the year 2015 in Lynchburg, Virginia. Jordon had just started her freshman year of college at Randolph, while JT was beginning his junior year. A few weeks into the school year was Jordon and JT’s first meeting. One Friday night a mutual friend knocked on Jordon’s door inviting Jordon to a dorm party at JT’s place. Some quick introductions later then everyone went back to loud music and competitive beer pong. Although they met that night it was not until a week later that JT decided to ask Jordon out. Through that same mutual friend, JT was able to find out Jordon lived in the building named Bell on the third floor. JT didn’t know Jordon’s dorm room number, so he had to walk up and down the hallway looking for her name on the doors. After walking the hallway twice with no luck JT had given up. He was about to get on the elevator when Jordon popped her head out from her dorm room. Accusingly she asked what he was doing on a freshman hall, to which JT responded, “I am looking for Jordon Kirkpatrick.” Jordon, surprised, asked why JT was looking for her. JT explained that he wanted to get to know her better and invited her to hang out and watch a movie together. Intrigued, Jordon agreed, and that unexpected encounter marked the beginning their relationship. Nine years later and counting, through the ups and the downs, JT and Jordon’s relationship is stronger than ever. They currently live in Arlington, Virginia where they spend most of their time trying new things together, hanging with friends, supporting and encouraging eachother to take chances in their careers.
