Ray and I met online in August of 2018. He was living in California at the time with plans to move back to Iowa in a couple of months. He flew out to see his daughters and me in September and things got serious quickly after that. I flew out to California to see him in November. Ray told me he loved me on 11/11/18 so we use this date as our anniversary. He moved back to Iowa for good in January of 2019. Our love grew quickly and we continue to love and push each other to be our best selves.
