I was in my first year of nursing school at UAB and had come home for Christmas break. The last thing on my mind was men, given all the studying and stress I was currently under. My mom however, could not wait to introduce me (or in her mind set me up) to her best friend’s son. Jason in the mean time was in his second year of college, studying Engineering, at Auburn. One day during the break, his mother purposely had him bring over a Christmas gift for my mother, with the intent of him meeting me. Not knowing the plan his mother had, he made his way to my house and gave my mother cookies. My mother introduced us and after having a short conversation, he asked me out on a date. At first we were both unsure of each other, given we felt like we were under pressure and were being “set up”. Honestly, for me it felt too perfect. I remember thinking to myself, “there’s no way my mother found my husband”. However, over the years we got to know each other, our love grew strong, and in turn had both come to the realization, our mothers had made the perfect match :)
