After jumping off an old burning school bus full of children, who would have thought a casual conversation between two camp counselors would blossom into an eight-year-long love story? As two young college students from two different schools, the odds were already stacked against us, but we overcame every obstacle that attempted to break us. From how he cared and prayed for me when I became sick, I knew he was my person. Jeroderick and I have endured the ups and downs of life but remain grounded in our love for one another. Both being public servants in Jackson, MS, him as a police officer, and me as a registered nurse. We have mastered caring for each other by being there for the people in our community every day. We are looking forward to celebrating our love with family and friends. Finally, focus on our future of creating a family.
