We met online and our first date was taking Jäger my fur baby to the groomer and then eating at my favorite but messy BBQ place to just turn around and go pick Jäger up. After a few dates I was on the phone with my mom and she wanted me to pick up a few more baby chickens at tractor supply but I was out with Jonathan and asked if he minded meeting my mom because I really wanted to see and pick up the baby chickens!
Jonathan's first deployment while we were together was a year after we started dating and it wasn't easy but we planned for me to visit at least twice while he was gone. Halfway through I went to Poland for only four days but it was a fun experience and a prep for the next visit. About three months later I went again to London and then Germany for about ten days. While we were in London we went to Princess Dianna's dedication garden and park. The lake was full of swans and other ducks and birds. The sun was setting and it was so pretty. We met one of Jonathan's buddies due to what I thought was just a weird story about owing money. Then as I was taking pictures around the lake Jonathan was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. The buddy was off to the side taking pictures. Right after the excitement we went straight to the mall and went shopping! The very next day we drove through London under the ocean to France, the Netherlands and to Neuenbürg Germany all on Christmas.
