Maybe you know Tim really well and not Michelle or maybe you know Michelle very
well and not Tim. Here are some common questions and answers to tell you a bit
about us -

Where are you from?
Tim: Tim was born in Gary, Indiana (USA) but most of his family hails from
Liberty, Mississippi. Tim has also lived in Tennessee and in Dallas, TX.
Michelle:   Michelle was born in Bermuda and most of her family hails from
Bermuda. Michelle has also lived in Europe (Belgium and Italy), New Jersey and
Dallas, Texas.

Where, how and when did you two meet?
Tim and Michelle: We met in Dallas, Texas in September of 2002. We met in the
fancy "gourmet" grocery store (Central Market) across the street from the
apartment complex that we both happened to live in (The Village).  Michelle was
looking for a chicken dinner after a long day and Tim was escorting his visiting
friend Derrick to find some food. (Hi Derrick!) Here's where the story differs
depending if you talk to Tim or Michelle. The truth (from Michelle's point of view
of course) is that Tim noticed Michelle. While in the store, Tim, Michelle and
Derrick started up a conversation and Tim and Michelle have been together ever
since.

Can you tell us a little bit about your families?
Tim: Tim is the 10th of 12 children born to Mrs. Idella Jackson and Mr. Claude
Jackson Sr. Check out the family reunion pictures in the photo album to see
pictures of Tim's family.
Michelle: Michelle has an older brother and sister and you can find pictures of
them along with her extended family in the photo album. You can also find a picture
of Michelle's parents (much to her Mother's dismay!).

Where were you educated and what do you do for a living?
Tim: Tim attended Purdue University where he earned a Bachelor's and then
Master's Degree in Education. He then earned an Ed.D in Education
Administration. (That makes him Dr. J!). Dr. Timothy Jackson is currently the
Assistant Principal at the Chesapeake Bay Middle School in Pasadena, Maryland.
Michelle: Michelle attended UWC of the Adriatic, Princeton University for her
Bachelor's and then the University of Texas (at the Arlington campus) for her
Master's Degrees (MBA in Finance and MS in Information Systems). She is
currently employed as a Business Analyst for The Argus Group in Bermuda.

What is important to you?
Tim and Michelle: Our relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ and our service and
witness for Him. Our families are also VERY important to us and we are each
excited about becoming a part of each other's families. We also have organizations
and community work that is very important to us. For example, Tim is a member of
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and Michelle  takes every opportunity to be involved in
activities for and with young people. (There's other stuff but we are running out
of room.)

What do you do for fun?
Tim and Michelle: We laugh - A LOT! We also like reading and going to the movies.
Tim is a voracious reader. Michelle also likes scuba diving and anything to do with
being on or near the ocean.  She also has a taste for adventure - look for a photo
of her sky diving in the photo album soon. (Yes, she jumped out of a perfectly good
plane at 15,000 feet up during the summer of 2003.) Both Michelle and Tim like
to workout and exercise together.

Finally: We are both REALLY looking forward to June 5, 2004!
