It’s happening!

As with all jobs there are a lot of strains and sacrifices that are sometimes made. In our case our career in the Air Force meant that we were faced with a lot of hardships. We both were assigned to Turkey, in 2011, and as with every new base overseas we transition to a place with no family and we have to make new friends. On October 17th 2011, Othniel and I laid eyes on each other and at first sight those nervous thoughts of being new quickly faded into the background and a new friendship began, we spent our time at our new assignment attached at the hip! We created our own adventures hiking and experiencing new things together. Our time in Turkey quickly came to an end and with all military friendships you keep in touch in hopes that you are possibly stationed together again. We remained in touch sending e-mails, text messages, and care packages. 6 long years of life later, we realized we were stationed about 3 hours from each other! We still remained in contact and once my time in the Air Force was about to come to an end Othniel propositioned me! He said, "We have been friends for a while now and when we met it wasn't our time, but how do you feel about us being together now"? I personally was shocked and didn't see it coming! However I had been thinking it when we met . I asked why now, and he retorted, "Why not now"? I took him up on that proposition and well as you know the rest was history.......!
