I realize that i have already posted asking for assistance, and hadn't introduced myself. FI and i have been engaged for roughly 4 months now, we met 3 years ago when we were doing feild training (both active duty) ended up in FL together in school (dif bases) and then i went off to NC for more schooling and then ended up in AZ. FI ended up going to NC.. we stayed in touch over the past few years because we were friends and shared mutual friends thanks to the MC. well roughly 7-8 months ago we started realizing that maybe we should give it a shot.. we were both some what hesitant given the distance and his upcoming deployment but we figured the worst that could come of it was it just didnt work. we suffered the first 2-3 months of our relationship relying on emails, phone calls, texts and skype dates. He flew out to see me on his pre-deployment leave and we knew then that we couldnt never not be in each others lives. it just worked to well. well we were blessed.. i was flying out to NC 2 weeks later to see my sister who is stationed on the same base FI is and lucky for us his deployment got pushed back, 2 days before i was to fly back to AZ and 5 days before FI was to deploy he asked me to marry him. How could i say no?
he is my best friend.
FI is due back from deployment soon, and i could not be happier, i will admit, when it comes to being engaged during a deployment i am spoiled. i am lucky enough to hear from him daily, whether it be emails, or a phone call, so to all those Military FI out there. keep your head up! its rough but in the end it is going to be more than worth it!
anyway, enough of my ranting. just wanted to say "Hey!!"
oh and by the way, if anyone has questions, i will do my best to answer, i suppose there are perks to being in the military and engaged to another service member.
