Well I guess I'll begin by telling you that we pretty much grew up be side each other as kids. Matt's grandmother lived right beside me and we use to ride our bikes together everyday as kids. Then we got older and never really spoke to each other.To be honest we really didn't care to much for each other. Then one day I started getting this wild idea to start taking ballroom dancing classes. Well a couple months later his parents started coming to the same ballroom classes as me. Weird don't you think? After tons of pleading his mom finally talked him into coming one night with her. Well he came one night and I asked him to dance we started talking and I guess you could say we fell in love right there and then and we've been together ever since. Three months later he left for the Army and it was the hardest thing I ever did to let him get on that plane headed for FT. Benning, GA. I thought as time went by it would get easier but as we fell more in love with each other it got harder and harder to say goodbye to each other.And when I let him leave him for Italy I just wanted to grab him and beg him not to leave me but I had to be stronger than that I had to let him go. But weve made it through all of the diffcult times and we are still together and going strong though he is stationed in Italy my love for him continues to grow.I could never let him go and I've never been happier. And I'm happy to say that we are planning to get married. It is diffcult being so far away from him and never getting to see him but I wouldn't change one minute of it. Weve had to make a lot of sacrfices to be together but it's been worth every minute of it. I don't know if he knows this or not but he is my hero. We've been together a year now and it's been a diffcult year but it's been the best year of my life. Who knew that so many years ago when we use to ride bikes together as kids that we would grow up to fall in love with each other and get married. Doesn't God work in funny ways? For the ones who say that long distant relationships don't work I'm here to prove them wrong because I'm living proof that long distant relationships can work if you truly love each other and you both are willing to make sacrfices. God bless all of those in long distant relationships and those that are in military relationships.
I dedicate this love story to the love of my life Matt. Matt thank you for showing me what love is all about.You are a blessing to me and I thank God everyday for you. I love you with all of my heart.May we never fall out of love. I love you.
