This is where YOU tell us YOUR love stories! You know, like how you met your honey… how you found true love after all this time… or maybe even how you finally got back together with the one that got away. You get the idea – whatever your "happily ever after" is, we wanna hear it!!!
This week's story is from Carrie in New York who writes…
Dear Kix,
Our story starts way before we even realized! You see, back when I was in high school, I had a HUGE crush on my now husband, but he had a girlfriend. But, after high school, we reunited at a homecoming game and a mutual friend set us up.
We started dating, and a few months into our relationship, he mentioned he was interested in joining the Army. So, we discussed it and decided it was the best thing for him and for our future together. And, in February 2013, he went off to boot camp.
That May, I went to his graduation and that’s when he proposed! And, of course, I said yes! And, in August, we were married! But, two weeks later, he left for Germany where he has been stationed ever since.
Kix, I’ve only seen him ONCE since we married, and even though we only get to talk on the phone or Skype, the distance has only made our love stronger! I love him more than anything!
Who would’ve known that the guy I had a crush on way back in high school, I would get to marry all these years later.
Thanks, Kix!
Signed,
Carrie

Kix's Response:
Well, Carrie, that’s the thing that always hit me when I was overseas visiting our troops – how hard it must be on the guys and gals back home… That good attitude you’ve got means a lot to him, I’m sure! Keep that fire burning and hopefully, it won’t be too long and you two can talk about the times when you were keeping the love alive Skyping on a TV screen!
God bless him for his service to our country and God bless you for the support you’re giving him! And, to all the men and women out there listening on American Forces Radio – we salute you!
