When I (Tamar) met Christian in 2012 I was only 15 and he was 19. I was completely obsessed with him, everyone who knew us, knew that I was crazy about him. We spent a lot of time together for a few weeks, but then he took off to college. He was older so he really didn’t act as if he had any feelings past “eh you’re pretty”. While he was off at college I would message him a lot and try calling but he was always incredibly busy, we barely talked ever! One day in 2015 Christian had messaged me on Facebook just asking how I was doing, it lead to texting for endless hours, to phone calls every night. We weren’t dating but we had strong feelings for each other, one day in February 2016 he had messaged me that he had a surprise. That surprise was a plane ticket to see me over spring break. He had shown up and MAN was I nervous. He tried to kiss me but I chickened out and went in for a hug instead. Once we got to the house he sure didn’t let me get away with it again. That was our first kiss, that thankfully led to many more kisses lol. He asked me to be his girlfriend the day before he flew home, March 17th 2016. I was living in villages so we never saw each other regularly, but He ALWAYS made sure to make it out to see me every few months. Finally I got to move to Fairbanks to be with the man I love in December of 2016.
