We met through his sister. He wanted to know if she had any cute, single friends and she sent him a photo from a recent bachelorette party we both attended. He said, "I like the red head." So he likes to tell people he picked me out of a line up! He was in basic training in Missouri at the time, so for a few months, we just messaged each other briefly on Sundays (only because he usually had his phone around my nap time). He asked to meet up when he came home for leave in December and by the end of the first date, it was like I'd known him forever. We spent those two weeks together and then he went back to finish up training. We already knew before he left that we were going to be spending our lives together.
