35 weeks left

Today I am missing my soldier terribly. We have 35 weeks left of this deployment. Our relationship is somehow growing stronger through this deployment, which is a nice change considering how the last deployment went for us. But I just miss him sometimes more than others and today is one of those days. He is incredible and has called me already today and will call again tonight. I realize how blessed I am to have a husband who cares so much and makes sure to stay in this much contact with and the girls. I just have moments where I miss him and wish he was here holding me tight. Well I feel like that all the time, just sometimes more intensely than others.

I am on winter break from school and while I love my students, it's nice to have a break from all of that. We are going on a little trip this week for a few days to just get away from it all and I can't wait for that. Then we will come back and enjoy our time that we have until we get back to the normalcy of things.

Annivesary

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary. On that day, four years ago I pledged my love forever to my soldier. Today I love him more than I thought possible. I thought that there was no way I could ever love him more than I did that day. We have three incredible children and even though we are apart a lot of the time, we are a stronger family than so many I know.

I think sometimes about others and wonder. And I realize how blessed I am to have found the man that God truly wanted me to be with. The man that I could never imagine being without. Chris is my life, my rock and my everything. Even though we are thousands of miles apart right now, we are closer than we have ever been. And nothing can ever take that away from us. And I am so grateful to have such an incredible relationship with him so many years after we met.
