Where did it all start?
Omar and I met in 1997 when I was 15 and he was 17. We both attended New Covenant Fellowship's youth group. I will never forget the first time I laid eyes on him...it was love at first sight (although he was unaware of my existence at the time) We dated throughout high school and it was in boot camp, I believe, when Omar realized how much I loved him. I waited patiently for him through the five years he served and honored our country in the Marine Corp. Although we had some bumps in the road in the beginning of our journey, our relationship was fortified through the time Omar spent in war in Iraq and the many sleepless nights I laid in bed clutching my blanket as I watched CNN with fear that something terrible might possibly happen to my beloved. Fortunately he returned healthy and in good shape. (You should have seen those abs!) We decided time was of the essence and didn't want to waste any more of it so we got married! We actually eloped in August, but nobody knows that (except you now)..
It has been 6 years of martial bliss! It is amazing how fast time flies. We are now approaching our late twenties (yikes!) and are ready to start a family someday soon. For now we are blessed with rewarding careers, Omar being a SWAT Police Officer for Escondido and me working as a 6th grade teacher for Lake Elsinore. We have a beautiful condo in Temecula and wonderful family and friends. :)

Cute story, I was actually curious, especially since I haven't seen or talked to you in YEARS! Good luck on your blog, and for now at least you know one person is reading!!
