We met in Bahia in the fall of 2004 and started seeing each other in January 2005. I was a volunteer English teacher for a local not-for-profit program and he worked in a restaurant near my apartment. I had to leave in February, and we kept in close contact - including 3 visits - until I returned in November 2005. We moved in together in November and got engaged in December 2005. We are waiting as patiently as possible for our visa case to move along and can't wait to be together!
