The Beginning of Shaige

The summer before our senior year at the Naval Academy, we both attended a Marine Corps training in the infamous "Highlands of Quantico, Virginia". When I (Paige) saw Shay, I immediately wanted to get to know him and by some chance we were put in the same platoon. One night, the platoon was camped out in the woods at the edge of a field we were "guarding". Our platoon had our sleeping bags lined up so we could look out into the woods and "stand watch". We happened to be next to each other, awake and on duty at the same time. We were having a great conversation, that is until I decided I was just too tired to guard my sleeping comrades and went to sleep. Shay, realizing I fell asleep when I randomly stopped talking, figured since I was okay with going to sleep that he would too. We both knew then that we were perfect for each other. After the summer training, we ran into each other again at a Toby Keith concert near the academy, then went blobbing at a friend's house (The Bullen's) shortly thereafter. The rest is history...
