Brock and I met in Monterey, California in 2018. As we were both in the U.S. Air Force, we were at technical training school studying foreign languages, he studied Chinese and I studied Korean. I had already been there for a year and had the position of "Airmen Leader" and was in charge of my own dorm building where many Airmen lived. At the time when Brock moved in, we were both dating other people so nothing came of it. However, being the Airmen Leader of the building, it was my job to perform room inspections and to make sure everyone was in their rooms by curfew. Even though Brock often kept me up waiting right up until curfew to return home (annoying!), his room was always my favorite stop because he was so nice and always knew how to make me smile and laugh, even on my worst days. Fast forward to April 2019, both of us now single, we met up again but this time I asked him out for drinks. We officially started dating a couple weeks later when I asked him to accompany me on a trip to LA so I could attend a concert (that he didn't even have a ticket for!) because I didn't want to drive that far alone, and he agreed. He's always been very sweet.
We started dating on May 4th, 2019 (yay Star Wars Day!) and have been together for over 2 years. We have stuck together through thick and thin, always trying to help out when one of us is having a bad day, or motivating each other to keep going with our goals. It's been a hard couple of years for each of us personally with the stress of Air Force technical training schools, Covid-19 and being separated throughout most of our time together, however it has definitely made our relationship stronger. We adopted a sweet doggo together named Lilo (who I mainly take care of) and try to see each other as much as possible. When we can't we are always talking on the phone or texting (which annoys Brock sometimes). We have loved our many road trips together including going to LA, Big Sur, Hearst Castle, Lake Tahoe and of course to visit each other almost every weekend, but we can't wait for the day that we (finally) get to live together.
