In the most modern way of meeting, we met through online dating. I saw his picture with Star Wars tattoos and an anime shirt on and knew we would get along. We had similar interests and values, and both were willing to put in the work of actually getting to know someone. He loved dogs which was great since liking my fur baby was a must. Before I knew it, I was meeting his daughters. As moving frequently with the military is a regular occurrence he ended up in San Antonio while his daughters live with his ex-wife in England. I had always wanted to be a mother, but it never was in the cards for me. And now I found myself with an unexpected bonus of these two amazing kids. Time seemed to fly by and soon we had been together for three years. Then on a December night while on a walk with my dog and surrounded by twinkling lights he asked me to marry him. And of course, I said yes!
