Hey this is Josh. I usually let Sarah do all the posting since she has all the writing talent. Anyways Sarah was able to get the last week off. So she flew up here after a few fog delays she was back into my arms. We were able to spend out very first thanksgiving togethor. We barbiqued some steaks and shrimp kebabs togethor. Then had some pumpkin pie, cool whip and ice cream for desert. All in all it was most enjoyable to spend time togethor. She has to go back to San Deigo soon, somthing i will not enjoy, but atleast she will soon be out of the navy and will be back in my arms soon. I love her so much.

Together Soon
For the last month, Josh and I have been apart, only getting to see each other for brief periods of time. But that will all come to an end soon.
My time in the Navy is drawing to a close. I should be going to Fallon for next week and then, sometime in early December, I will be discharged from the Navy and Josh and I will never be separated again. I'm going to be moving here soon, and not soon enough. Soon, our house in Fallon will become a home and we will truly be able to start our life together.

Our Story
We first met while we both were attending Shelton High School. Josh was two years behind me and eventually ended up working for me as an assistant in the Legal Deparatment. We were friends, all the while I had no idea that he cared for me more than that. In June of 2002, I graduated and two months later, I shipped off for Navy boot camp, returning to visit in November. I saw alot of people and then reported to my first duty station in Bremerton, WA.
Two years later, I had been stationed on board USS John C. Stennis and had just figured out this thing called MySpace. I woke up one morning before work and had a friend request from Josh, which I accepted and we started talking over MySpace, and then eventually e-mail on the ship. He was stationed in Japan on the USS Kitty Hawk so the time difference really sucked, but we made do with it, e-mailing when we could. We talked about getting together, but every time I was single, Josh was with someone, and every time Josh was single, I was with someone. It just didn't work out there for a little bit.
In November of 2006, I transferred to San Diego, and Josh and I still e-mailed back and forth, taking as we had always done. In early 2008, he told me that the Kitty Hawk would be making a port call in San Diego, and that he would like to see me. I eagerly wanted to see him, having not seen him in six years. As we e-mailed back and forth, I started to fall in love with him, and told him that I was thinking about him often. A month before the Kitty Hawk was supposed to arrive in San Diego, Josh told me that he loved me, and that he wanted to be with me more than anything, something that made me cry and smile at the same time. It was one of the best e-mails that I had ever gotten.
In the final few weeks before the Kitty Hawk arrived, we continued to talk about being together and eventually the subject of marriage came up. I had previously been engaged, a relationship that did not work out, so I was a litte apprehensive about getting engaged a second time. But when Josh asked me to marry him in an e-mail, I thought about it and realized that he was the person I wanted to be with. I accepted his proposal, but told him that I wanted him to ask me again when he arrived in San Diego.
On August 8, 2008, Josh & I were reunited and later that day, he asked me to marry him, which I accepted. The plan was we would be engaged for at least a year, planning to marry sometime in 2009. But it didn't work out that way.
I found out in early October that I was going to be separated from the Navy, and immediately made plans to move to Fallon, Nevada to be with Josh. We made plans to elope over a four day weekend, not wanting to wait to get married. It made sense to both of us, as well as my parents, that with my impending separation from the Navy, that if I was going to be living in Fallon with Josh, that we might as well get married now so I could get the benefits of being a dependent.
On October 9, 2008, I flew from San Diego to Reno to visit Josh during a four day weekend. We made plans to get married that weekend, something that we were both looking forward to. That Saturday, October 11, we made the trip to Reno and eloped. I remember that I was nervous before the ceremony, and was brought to tears as I took my vows. Returning to Fallon, we celebrated by drinking wine and watching a NASCAR race.
That is the story of how we met, got engaged, and later became married. But our story is still being written, and our love is still as strong as ever.
