I've been married almost six years this year! It's crazy to even say that!!!! Six years!!! My husband and I have gone through so much together. We have definently had our shares of ups and downs in that amount of time. We've gone through a very long deployment. It was my first deployment with him, i had no idea what to expect. I think that the deployment was hands down one of the hardest things I've ever gone through! The only thing I did expect was worry/fear/loneliness. But the amount of it was not even fathomable. The morning he left It was really early. I layed in bed I couldn't even open my eyes. I knew I'd cry and wouldn't be able to stop. It's hard to let go of the person you love, even more so when they are headed to a war zone. I just hugged him tight. Finally I walked him out. After he left I sat on the porch and just broke down for about a half hour. During the deployment i would not have my cell phone away from me. I slept with it every night scared I'd miss his call! I'd leave my computer open at all times so I could see if he skyped me or messaged me. To everyone else im sure I looked insane, but to me I didn't know when I'd hear from him again. And to be completely honest IF I'd hear from him again. Every conversation we had, I had to fight the tears back. When we video chatted I tried so hard to smile and not let him see how scared I was for him. I'm tearing up as I write this. But i kept busy. The days started to just go in auto pilot. He was gone I was here... thats when i started getting into photography again. I decided id take lots of pictures so my husband wouldnt miss a day of the 14months he was gone! Then the day he came home was amazing! My husband always tried to surprise me. I just had this feeling he was coming home. I called my mom, kept telling her. She wound up coming over just in case I was wrong. Knowing if I was wrong i would definently need her there. His dad came by and said he had some of my husbands mail down in the truck. I went down to get it and my husband was there!!!!!! I was so excited!!! I couldn't believe he was home. After all that excitement no one warned me it was going to be an adjustment. I was just so happy I didn't realize its been over a year since we have lived together. So we grew into our own little daily routine! We've had some other fun bumps on the way. Fast forward to having or lil baby girl! Me all hormonal and him a stubborn husband makes for a fun pregnancy lol! I don't know who was worse but we both are still alive lol. That's gotta say something! ;) After all these years, the way I love him hasn't changed. He can be the most stubborn man in the world, yet he still finds a way every now and then to surprise me. To make me smile. To make me think, yes this is why I married him! I couldn't imagine my life without him! When you find that person who makes you want to be a better person. Keep them! Let them know how much you care!
