Michael and I met about eight years ago through two of our closest mutual friends. It started out with them telling us both separately that they had the "perfect" person in mind for us. A few very brief Facebook messages were exchanged and then a few weeks later we were setup up on kind of a blind date and met one another at JD's Sports Bar in Grants Pass. Michael has always told me that he only agreed to met me because I had my pitbull, Kahlua... I would say the rest is history, but it wasn't entirely. We took a few months to get to know one another better and figure out what life would have in store for us as individuals and together. Now two deployments, nursing school, creating a home in a different town and adding three more fur babies to the pack... we're FINALLY getting married and the rest is history!
