Rob and Ruby met at Seventy-First High School in Fayetteville, NC.  They were in homeroom together,  as both their last names start with “R.”  Ruby introduced herself to Rob during Mr. Kimball’s Physcial Science class.  Their first conversation consisted of Ruby not believing Rob that he had his driver’s permit already.

Rob and Ruby were good friends throughout high school.  They sat next to each other in the lunch room senior year, and Rob walked Ruby back to class afterwards.  They never dated in high school, but always had a crush on one another.

After high school, Ruby went to UNCW and Rob went to ECU.  So… When did they meet again?? It was the summer after freshman year of college.  Ruby came home to work at Texas Roadhouse, her high school part-time job.  Rob came home after finishing up basic training. Note: After Rob’s first semester of college, he joined the Army National Guard.  He later returned to ECU. They saw each other one night after work, and literally have not been apart since.

Throughout the years, they have lived in various cities and even countries around the world.  Note: Rob was sent to Iraq for 10 months during his sophmore year of college.  Ruby studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador.  They kept a strong long distance relationship, and never gave up on their love.  The rest is history!
