We just happened to get stationed at the same unit at the same time. He got to the unit about a day after I did, so it was obviously just meant to be. It took him a good month or so to warm up to me, and even then I had to almost force him to like me. He walked me to my room after hanging out with friends one night. I made it obvious that I wanted him to kiss me but at the end of the night I had to make the first move. We had our first kiss, and the rest of it is history.

We went to Tennessee to have Christmas at his moms house. I kind of had a suspicion, or at least I hoped he'd propose over our holiday block leave. He took me to this state park near by, which was absolutely beautiful by the way. We started taking pictures so he set up his phone with a timer, we took a few pictures and the last one he got down on his knee. There was absolutely no doubt in my mind when I said yes, and yes.. I cried.
