We first met in 2012 while he was in Virginia doing an internship. I was at the beach on vacation and we met outside one night. We spent my whole beach trip together and I returned home to West Virginia. He came to visit me in West Virginia and I figured that would be the last time we saw each other. We stayed in touch and talked every day. I visited Turkey in 2014 and while there we decided we wanted to spend forever together. We talked and skyped for another year and finally got all of the paperwork together and mailed in December 2015. Now, we are patiently waiting for an answer!
