Ryan and I met when we decided to go to our HS senior Prom together. We wanted nothing more than to have a fun night and then go our separate ways as I prepared for college at Penn State and Ryan at The Naval Academy. Somehow one of us (Ryan) caught feelings and decided to memorize my phone number while away at Plebe summer. He convinced me to visit him for parents weekend (6 weeks after he left) and asked me out. I was crazy enough to start dating a guy in the military two weeks before starting my college experience. In truth I thought it would be fun, maybe last a few months, and really had no idea how strict the Navy was but 8 years of long distance later and here we are.... GETTING MARRIED!!!!
