In high school, Eric and I were one grade apart. Eric played baseball for my dad's team. We knew of each other, but didn't exactly know each other. Fast forward to my sophomore year of college, I was out at the bar with my friends, and Eric happened to be at the same bar with his friends. I knew he was on leave from the Marine Corps, so I decided to say hi. After chatting for a bit, he asked me on a date, and I said yes. In the morning, I was nervous and didn't exactly want to go on the date anymore. My friends convinced me to go, and obviously, it worked out very nicely for both of us. A few dates and lots of long distance later, we decided to become official. We have been together about 7 years, and are very much looking forward to forever!
