Together we have it all

We met at the Washington Parish Fair, went on one date then he left for 21 long days. Within the 21 days, he sent me flowers and asked me to be his girlfriend. We grew from there, offshore lifestyle was difficult but we made it work and it only allows us to grow individually as well as a together. After 4 years of dating he asked me on Christmas day surrounded by my wonderful family if I'd be his wife, of course I said YES but then immediately asked if he was joking and if this was for real (my family got the greatest laugh out of that moment). He plays jokes all the time so I needed to know he wasn't kidding. We love to joke around and make each other laugh, life is to short to not enjoy each other. We are very blessed to have each other and our families.
