Our love story begins in Missouri, of all places. Carla was working at a successful finance firm and I was temporarily assigned to Fort Leavenworth for military schooling. On November 20, 2016, we met at Maria’s Restaurant for our first date—one that changed our lives! After that first kiss, we both knew we had something special. As we continued dating, and my reassignment away from Missouri loomed, I knew I could not live without Carla; so, I asked her to pack her bags and move with me across the United States. Carla honored and surprised me when she said yes, dropping everything to follow me to North Carolina! Then again to D.C. And soon to Colorado! Through all these moves and experiences, our love bloomed and our relationship has grown. I know I speak for us both when I say we were truly lucky to find this once-in-a-lifetime love!
