It's crazy to say we met on Facebook from a post Dylan had made in July of 2017. He messaged me after I had commented and we instantly clicked. We talked all day and all night while he was still active duty in the Army. He was stationed at Fort Hood, TX while I resided in our hometown in Oregon. We didn't get the chance to meet each other in person until August of 2017 when he was on leave. I remember the time I got to see him and hug him for the first time since all the long calls and video chats. Nothing felt more certain than the fact I could see myself with him long-term. That same weekend he asked me to officially be his girlfriend. We've gone through so much together in the 7 years we have been together and each one has made us stronger and has made us grow even fonder through it all. I am proud to say I love this man with all my heart and I can't wait to see what else life throws at us that we can continue to overcome together.
