About us:
Bess: Born in Massachusetts, raised in Bangor, Michigan. According to this nifty map here, I grew up on the South West Coast.

Steve: Born and raised in Bad Axe, Michigan. For all you Michiganders, that's up in the thumb! He joined the Marine Corps in 2000. Was stationed for most of the time on Parris Island, SC and Okinowa, Japan. From Japan he did a deployment in Afghanastan. In 2004 he was honorably discharged and moved to Rock Hill, SC.

How we met:
Yes, we are one of THOSE couples. It was a Saturday night. I was slightly hungover and he was bored. Somehow we both happened to take advantage of a "free" weekend courtesy of chemisty.com. He messaged me, I messaged him, we exchanged e-mail addresses and from there it was CRAZY. First e-mail we found out our birthday's were two years and two days apart. Second e-mail we found out that we were both from Michigan. Third e-mail we found out that we had both served in the military. It went on and on from there.
We went on our first date that Thursday. Steve showed up with a dozen pink roses and was the perfect gentleman. We went to dinner and then afterwards watched a movie at my apartment. We had an awkward goodbye with a hug and he left. I did the happy dance and was even happier when he called me 10 minutes later to tell me he had a great time and couldn't wait to see me again. We had our second date on Saturday and everything has been perfect ever since!
