Ashley was on Xbox playing Destiny with her online friends. We were doing the raid and needed one more to join and Wendell says I've got an awesome buddy who is in the Army and I don't think he's done the raid yet! None other than Specialist Ryan Caldwall joins in the raid. I chime in as the raid leader and tell the newbie how we are going to do this last level of the hard mode raid and then we would take him through the rest of it together. We beat the raid boss and good times are had by all. Except when our least favorite member of the team sees Ryan get all the best gear you can get from the raid, all in one drop; he leaves angry and we all laugh so hard it was hilarious and that instantly bonded an amazing friendship. Ryan and Ashley have played games together ever since.💞

Not long after Ryan came to Myrtle Beach, we were moving again! This time into our newly purchased home! While Ryan was in Ohio, Ashley was showing him the listings and the pictures of the homes she was touring. Ashley messaged Ryan telling him she had found the house and sent him her favorite listing out of the 6 or so that she has shared with him; he had picked the same one as well. We had a good laugh about how much we have in common and how awesome it's going to be when he finally moves in! The Move itself went super easy nothing lost or broken and Ryan and Ashley worked great as always. I mean we had been playing games where you had to work together to get things accomplished for years so this was nothing we couldn't handle together!

As Ryan and Ashley were living together their strong friendship began to blossom into Love. It didn't take very long for then to realize how much they mean to each other and how their friendship had been the one of the only consistent things for them in a very long time. We fell in love really fast and have been growing together ever since 💓
