I’m deployed and she just finished college.

When I was deployed for the first time, one of my best buds showed me a picture of his amazingly gorgeous sister-in-law! I was flabbergasted, but knew she was WAY out of my league. So I didn’t give her a second thought. I met her finally 5 months after we came back from Iraq. We hit it off but we were both involved in serious relationships so it never went past pleasantries. 6 months later, in June of 2009, both of our relationships were on the rocks and we just sorta started chatting again. Harmless at first, then flirty and it just progressed. I went up to visit her that summer and by September we were an item. I knew in June that I had found the girl of my dreams. I tried to take it as slow as possible so as to not scare her away. I told her I loved her within a couple of months and by December I asked her to marry me! She said yes on the spot and we have been happy ever since.

We both enjoy movies and music. Neither of us are big partiers so we both enjoy evenings in.
