She was a nurse in the OR but, as far as she was concerned, the Operating Room wasn’t exactly the best place to find an eligible bachelor. Accordingly, she took up a part-time job as a bartender to meet some new people and make new friends around town. Little did she know that one night while on shift, a rugged looking handsome guy would walk in and they would strike up the first of many conversations about their mutual love for many things, not the least of which was country music. By the end of the evening Jhackie worked up enough courage to do something she had never done before: Write her number on a coaster and give it to him. That one gutsy move and a little bit of “call me” scribble on a coaster were the first words written in their love story because Jhackie and Ray would soon discover that they had something special with each other, and that they should do whatever it took to hold onto that forever.
