John first messaged me online in June of 2016, I never replied and kept going back and looking at his message that simply said "hey, how are you" And something kept telling me to respond, finally on October 20th 2016 I did. We talked on the phone for a little over a week and I still remember the funny way he said he would propose to his future wife, he said it would be so cute and cheesy (pun intended) to propose with a pizza" And I told him that would be adorable, and we continued on with our conversations. We finally decided it was time for us to meet, he was living in Hammond and I was living in Harvey so it was a good hour drive there, I have never driven that far before by myself but shockingly enough I was never nervous, I called him when I got lost and he stayed on the phone with me until I found my way. When we met for the first time he kissed me and I knew then that this was going to be my husband, it felt different than any other kiss I have ever had, it felt familiar ,comfortable, and safe. I moved in with him 7 months after we started dating and on our year anniversary he proposed to me at Tommy's Pizza in Hammond with "Will You Marry Me" spelled out in pepperoni. I know that I have found the love of my life, my best friend, and my soulmate.
