I was in San Diego for a conference. A friend and I went to a bar in North Park, and there he was — not my type. Later that night, back at my friends place, and he and I started talking. He told me about growing up in Idaho and joining the Marine Corps in 2002 at 17, deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. I was surprised by his opinions, they didnt fit the military, red state stereotype. I went home to NYC after the conference, but six months later, I moved to San Diego. We were married in May 2014.
