Our story comes with many travels, many miles apart, and many months apart, which is what ultimately brought us together. We met in December 2015 in Chicago. Diego was stationed at Great Lakes Recruit Training Command, while Heather was living in Logan Square. After dating for 15 months, Diego's orders took him to Japan (USS Ronald Reagan), where we dated long distance for two years. Heather was lucky to spend time there living with Diego. They both contend that you cannot find ramen as good as in Japan. We finally reunited in Washington in March 2019 (USS Carl Vinson). We got engaged in Amsterdam in October 2019. While we loved our PNW experience, as the Vinson made its way back to its home port in San Diego in summer 2020, so did we. We are loving the sunny and practically always 75 degrees in San Diego!
