***We got married on 4/20/07!***Michael is now in Iraq & will be gone till next year***

*Our Story* Well, Michael and I met through a mutual friend on Jan. 12, 2007. As soon as we were done with lunch that day, we both knew that we were meant to be. We started dating the next day. We spent all the time we could together over the next few months. Sometimes he would drive 45 minutes after work just to be with me, even if it meant only a short nap together. When you didn't find us together, we were on our cell phones either talking or texting. We took my dad out to dinner, just to show him how much Michael meant to me. Two weeks later I was calling everyone letting them know about our wedding date. We got married on April 20, 2007. We had about two weeks together before he had to go to training for Iraq on May 6th. Out of the five months that we've been married, we've only seen each other 16 of those days. But it's well worth the wait, because I love him dearly. He gets his 2 week R&R in Feb or Mar 2008. I'm already majorly excited about it and after that he comes home sometime in the middle of the year. We've felt like we've known each other for a million years and not since the beginning of the year. Everytime I think, talk, write about him, or see some of his pictures, I still get butterflies in my stomach like I did the first day I met him. Anyone can tell you that I'm still crazy in love with him. I love Michael so much. Nothing in this world can tear us apart. *~*Mrs. Michael Ira Johnson*~*
