Our Story

It all started six years ago when Josh and his buddies were gearing up for deployment. The air was thick with excitement and nerves, but amid the whirlwind of preparations, a going-away party was thrown for one of Josh's friends, orchestrated by Anna's friend, Annie. Little did they know, that night would change everything.

As the evening unfolded, the group hit the town, laughter and music echoing through the night. Josh was instantly drawn to Anna, her smile lighting up the room. He was on a mission to win her over, but Anna, knowing he was leaving in just five days, kept her distance. She had her reasons, and she wasn't about to get attached.

Yet, as the night progressed, something shifted. Josh's protective nature emerged, making sure Anna was safe and enjoying herself. He listened intently as she shared stories, and for the first time, she saw a side of him that wasn’t just about the impending deployment. By the end of the night, Anna found herself reconsidering her initial resolve. There was something genuine about Josh that made her heart skip a beat.

As they said their goodbyes, Josh took a leap of faith and asked for Anna's number. With a mix of excitement and uncertainty, she handed it over, her heart racing with the possibilities of what might come next.

Once Josh left, the two began talking regularly. Their conversations became a lifeline for both of them, bridging the distance and drawing them closer. They shared late-night talks, deep laughs, and small moments that made them feel connected despite the miles. Eventually, Josh mustered the courage to ask Anna if she wanted to date him. It was a simple question, but it held so much weight.

To his delight, Anna said yes, and just like that, their journey began. They navigated the challenges of long-distance love, supporting each other through tough times and celebrating the little victories. With each passing day, their bond grew stronger, rooted in trust, understanding, and an unwavering connection that started on that unforgettable night.
