Although we attended East Carolina University during the same time frame and in fact lived in the same apartment complex, our story begins in Wilson, NC. I (Danielle) was taking a job in the Wilson area and was unsure about wither I should live in Raleigh or Wilson until I heard about a charming young man who lived in that area and was renting a room in his house. That young man was Jacob. Luckily Jacob and I did not become roommates but that first text conversation sparked a friendship which lend to a relationship.
