Jessa

A little unique :) I came to college in September 2005 when my daughter was 8 months old to be part of the school's Single Parent Program - I was 18 at the time. I am from Arizona and the college is in Massachusetts, so we ventured all the way across the country for this opportunity. Our housing is apartment-style in a 200 person dorm, but our parent apartments (there are 10 parents in my program) are at the very end of the hall on each floor. FH was a junior my first year and lived on my floor at the very end of the hall. We met through a couple mutual girl friends that were in a class of mine and lived next door to him. At first we were just friends and it stayed that way for almost a year. Towards the end of spring semester, though, I began to like him as more. :) We flirted...but that was about it. Nothing big. Then over the summer, when he went back to his hometown in NY, we talked more and more via AIM. He came up to visit in July that summer and we really hit it off. We became an official couple in August of 2006 and have been together ever since. :) In a way, it is really special because we have been together since my daughter, Hayley, was a year old - she will turn six right before we get married.
