Our Story – Rebecca & Jack

The Beginning
Jack and I met at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR. He was dateless for his Sigma Chi formal sophomore year. I was a freshmen looking for a date and I was in the right place at the right time.

One night when we were sitting in my friend Ashley’s room and there was a knock on her door.
