Hi there! My name is Erin. I'm 24 years old and I live in Sacramento, California. I am a waitress/bartender/cook, a music fanatic, and a weekend warrior lol.
My boyfriend's name is Cameron. He is also 24 and is Security Forces in the USAF.
We met on OKCupid in September of this year. We were only a 20% match, but he said he HAD to message me because of a line I had on my profile(the line was "Bonus points if you know what skanking is"). He said he never met any girls up here who liked ska, or even knew what it was(It's not well known up here in Northern California, though it is in Southern California where he grew up). He told me he was in the Air Force, and stationed at Beale AFB, which is about 45 minutes away from Sacramento, which is where I live.
After talking on the phone/messages/text for a couple of weeks, we just had to meet in person. On September 25th, he came and gave me support as I got my most recent tattoo(On my chest, OUCH! lol), it was kind of an awkward meeting, because another friend showed up randomly that wanted to date me, so Cameron and I didn't get a chance to really talk and get to know each other that night.
When I walked him to his car, we had that awkward goodbye hug and I thought he'd never want to see me again. But later that night after he'd gotten back to base, he called me and said he wanted us to go on an actual date(without anyone else around to take away from us getting to know each other lol) :-D
The next night we had our official 1st date(He kicked my butt at pool, I kicked his butt at bowling, and I locked my keys in my car. How romantic! haha). We became inseparable(Well, as inseparable as two people can get when one is in the military haha), and fell in love.
When we 1st met, he told me he was deploying in December. At first we thought we'd just date until he left, little did we know we'd fall for each other as hard as we did.
Now we're at the beginning of him being deployed and it's hard as hell.
But I keep busy at work, hanging with my friends, or talking to all my military gf/spouse friends!
