Javi and I met as co-workers on the USS Chancellorsville not really knowing each other. He was a fry cook and I was a computer technician. One day we joined a Ragnar event with other co-workers as a team and ended up riding in the same van. That was our first time actually having a conversation with each other. After that, we just exchanged greetings and small talk. In the middle of 2020, Javi kept sliding into my Instagram messages then getting my number. We started to talk to each other on and off. A few hangouts turned to longer talks on the phone and video calls. Soon we started to develop feelings for each other that led to going on dates. Javi asks me to be his girlfriend on February 9th, 2021. Then he proposes to me on the day we moved into our new home on my mom’s birthday April 9th, 2022 and the rest is history!
