Story

Well, what had happened was.....

Loren (LA Express) was "minding his own business" in the middle of an online war game called "Game of War" or GOW and along came an aggressive stronghold--Terri (PJ) and attacked him with no warning. It was love at first burn. LOL :D Of course it took both of us over a year to figure that out! After animated discussions on line about tactics, gear, potions and other boring "war stuff", Loren's truck routes brought him through the DC area-- we decided to venture out of our virtual bubbles and meet in real life. dinner plans were made--- GPSs programmed-- and we finally met over Stromboli in a small Italian pizza joint in Sterling VA.

A month goes by, we join forces in the game and destroy our kingdom (true fun!). Conversations changed to non-game topics including politics (one-sided conversation---- you know who's!) and sports, mainly softball (one sided conversation the other way--- you know who's!). We clicked, we joked, we talked for hours and decided to go on a real date!

December 22, 2016 was Date #1 at an obscure Denny's in no-where Ohio. The night included dinner, flowers, chocolate and a penguin (now named PG) and hours more of great conversation along with a first kiss. From then, Loren was hooked and Terri was along for the ride.

The next relationship date--- June 24, 2017, Loren pulled a fast one on me and planned the EPIC engagement proposal at the Army Birthday Ball in front of 100s of people. It was amazing! Everyone was in on it—except me--- and the photographer got some good pictures. A night to remember!

As they say, the rest is history. We meet when our schedules or locations collide, we fill the spaces between with hours and hours of laughs, tears, shouts of joy (PATS WIN!), and silence, just listening to each other breathe.

In the past year or so we've been through a lot including a move, meeting both families, the loss of Loren's mother, travelling on the road together for a week (WHEW!) and spending almost a week submerged in Military softball (WHEW again!). We've met each others friends and family, we've talked about the past and the future. We've reveled in the present. We've made plans and we've changed plans. We've looked to the future and can only see each other in it. We are best friends, partners in crime (all legal!), #1 supporters, confidants, shoulders to cry on, fist bumps and hugs.

Tidbits

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

Military Softball World Tournament in August 2017. We are cruising in January 2018. I bet that's going to top it!

How did you first meet?

In an online war game called "Game of War" or GOW

Who made the first move? How?

In the game- Terri was on the offensive. In real life, Loren took the lead.

What was your most memorable date?

Every time we get to see each other-- its a date day/night. However, we both agree, it was the 2017 Army Birthday Ball. It was the night we got engaged.

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

HAWAII!!!!! by air land and sea.

What are your favorite quotes or sayings?

Happy, joyous and free.
One day, I'm going to let you let me marry you.
