Paula and I met while she was studying at my high school as a foreign exchange student in 2001-2002; we've been together ever since. Our mutual desire to earn a higher education has kept us physically apart for most of the past 6 and 1/2 years, yet we have traveled to be with one another every chance we get which has totaled 6 trips for her and 3 for me. On August 12th, 2004 I asked Paula to marry me resulting in an Engagement that has now lasted a little over 4 years (I am hoping to marry Paula before this becomes 5!). I am currently with her right now in her home country of Chile.
