Rick designed a web group for our up coming 20th High School Reunion. He invited a few of us from classmates.com to join his free group, so that we can get to know each other again and discuss our up coming reunion.
Rick was in Iraq at the time, but he would keep us updated on his status and his safety. Unfortunately, the USMC had other plans for Rick and his tour was extended a few more months which made him miss the reunion. We sent him pictures of the reunion so he would feel like he was there.
About 10 months later, I saw Rick online and I said hello he had finally made it home from Iraq. We made plans to go out the following weekend with a few of our fellow classmates and have our own mini reunion for Rick. As we hung out and got to know each other, over the next couple of months. Rick was given orders again to go back to Iraq for another 1 year tour that fall.
I realized that I had fell in love with him and I told him that I would wait for him to return he was happy and told me that he loved me as well. Over the course of the following year, we got to know each other the old fashion way via emails and long web chats each day. We both realized that we were made for each other and that God does anwser prayers!
I have lost my full time job, and now it is time for me make a go of my passion full time. Won't you join me in my journey?

The Proposal
December 22, 2007
HOW IT HAPPENED
We were getting ready to go out to dinner with some friends, when I walked into the bedroom to make sure he wasn't getting dressed up as I was in jeans and a sweatshirt.
He was standing at his dresser when I asked "Are you ready"? He said "Yes, but I need you to do me a favor"? I said "ok what" and he came towards me and said "will you marry me?"
I was shocked, because I had all but given up on trying to figure out when he was gonna ask me. But I am extremely happy that he did! :)
