Who knew that enlisting in the Army National Guard would allow you to meet your future spouse?! We met in July of 2016 while we were attending basic training for the Illinois Guard. We became friends and built a bond over the 5 months we were there. Once we graduated, we began hanging out back home, and Shane finally asked me to be his girlfriend. 3 days after our 3 year anniversary, he asked me to be his wife. At almost 6 years of dating, we will finally become Mr. and Mrs. Burns!
