How We Met

Jasmine Jackson, Cawker City resident, and Josh Jackson, Glen Elder junior, met at a high school basketball game while Josh was home on Christmas vacation. That night, Jasmine put her number into Josh’s cell phone and they set up a date for the following week.

“She was bold, but not too forward about it,” Josh says. “She did it just right.” The two compressed six months of dating into Josh’s one month at home, he says, and after that they talked on the phone and visited on weekends until they were married Feb. 24.
