Mrs. Danger

Chaplain, friends and even my Daddy are supportive, if a little surprised.
Truth is, Ryan and I have discussed getting married a number of times. I've been close to him since early into my first marriage, though he was more or less the only man that maintained respect for my marriage, regardless of the situation we were in. We would watch movies, horse around, and the like, and I never had to worry about him getting out of line, or putting my marriage at risk. I fell asleep during the movies often enough, and even drank with him, back in the day, and knew I had nothing to worry about. After the divorce, I struggled with my feelings for him and his 'eternal bachelor' personality. My journal entries from basic training seem to revolve around him and my struggles with these feelings. I've trusted him long enough to know he'd never be the one to hurt me, and he's more than proven he'll do what it takes to take care of me. He's been there for me in ways that others couldn't have been, and I've been fortunate enough to return the favor to some degree. I'm very happy and looking forward to starting my life with him.
We're trying to figure out how to do this long-distance, as I don't have the cash to fly home just now. However, Chaplain is encouraging and helpful and wants me to try to go home to do it, if possible. He's even willing to talk to my chain of command if it comes down to it. It'd be nice to be able to go home to do it, I won't lie, but I'll just be happy being Mrs. Danger, honestly.
(Yes, folks, Danger is a nickname, but I'm not using anyone's real last name on a public forum.)
