David and Rachel's Story

In early 2015, I started working a filing&nbsp;job where I was trained by a&nbsp;women named Terrie. After a couple weeks&nbsp;of working together, we discovered that&nbsp;her son, Matt, and my brother, Adam,&nbsp;were childhood-to-present day best friends. As time went on, Terrie and I ended up&nbsp;becoming&nbsp;great friends and she came up with the brilliant idea of setting me up with her other son, David. At first, David and I both rejected the&nbsp;idea due to the already present friendship&nbsp;of our brothers. However, after a while, I just couldn't resist and&nbsp;decided to contact him. At the time, he was doing some military training&nbsp;at Fort Huachuca in Sierra Vista, AZ , so most of our&nbsp;contact was online and through text until we finally got to see each other again a few months later.&nbsp;&nbsp;We ended up becoming official 'boyfriend-girlfriend'&nbsp;on&nbsp;March 4th, 2016. Unfortunately, shortly after,&nbsp;David ended up getting stationed at Fort Wainwright, AK.&nbsp;Over the next two years, we were able to meet up every couple months. The memories of those&nbsp;visits are something we still&nbsp;cherish&nbsp;to this day! We were able to explore Alaska, which included, hiking trips, dog sledding, lots of&nbsp;site seeing, and even living in a dry cabin over a summer. It became increasingly&nbsp;clear that we were meant-to-be life partners,&nbsp;as cliché&nbsp;as that sounds,&nbsp;and&nbsp;got&nbsp;engaged December 19th, 2017 on&nbsp;a&nbsp;trip, planned by David, in Chicago.&nbsp;

Currently, I am in my third year of college at Purdue University; I am majoring in nursing and loving every minute of it!&nbsp;Unfortunately, this past January,&nbsp;I was diagnosed with cancer. I am determined to beat it and refuse to let it ruin any of my plans.&nbsp;Luckily,&nbsp;David is able to be with me as I go through this.&nbsp;While the day-to-day can be tough,&nbsp;I know with 100% certainty that I could not have a better partner to go through this with me. My family and I are absolutely appalled&nbsp;at just how&nbsp;attentive,&nbsp;caring, supportive, and patient&nbsp;Dave is.&nbsp;









Dave is currently serving in the Army as a drone operator. He has been in the service for nearly four years.&nbsp;He is&nbsp;a specialist awaiting his promotion to&nbsp;sergeant.&nbsp;









Also, we have one son. He is four years old, 85 pounds, and named Chewy. He is our fur-baby and we love him very much!&nbsp;









Dave and I have grown so much over the last few years together and&nbsp;are&nbsp;absolutely ecstatic to tie-the-knot!
