The military has a great way of bringing people together whether it is life long friends or in this case life long partners! The very first time Matt and I saw each other there was a pause, a childish glare, and then a look away. We laughed and it seemed we had been friends for years! I took a trip to San Diego and for both of us it felt like we knew each other our entire lives. After several hours on the phone and a few cross country trips we decided there could be no one else. Our children get along brilliantly, there is so much love to give. We look forward to making memories and talking about them in rocking chairs one day when we are 96. Thank you everyone for sharing in this moment with us!
