How we met...
Our story began 3.5 years ago with Slider the mascot. Jake, working in Real Estate, noticed the new girl in Marketing and knew he had to be creative to be sure their paths could cross. He began emailing a mutual friend in the office to see how to make this happen.
Since Stephanie worked several Marketing events outside of the office, escorting the Hibbett Sports mascot around, it was suggested that the Marketing department was in need of a "stand in" mascot for an upcoming event. He was assured this would be the perfect opportunity to spend all afternoon getting to know the new Marketing girl, Stephanie. Completely out of his comfort zone, Jake slid on the required white tights and donned the sweaty baseball mascot. As the event began and kids swarmed Slider (Jake) for pictures, our mutual friend regrettably had to inform Jake that Stephanie was unable to travel to this event last minute.
When Stephanie found this adorable story out the following week, she knew there was something really sweet about this cute guy she kept seeing around the office! Fast forward a couple of weeks later and other small details, Jake and Stephanie shared their first lunch date and the rest was history...
