Seven

Seven years ago today we said I do. Its been a long seven years but doesn't really feel like it. Right after we got married T joined the Army. His 7 yr date is in November. He was suppose to leave for Basic at the end of May, but we got pulled over a week before and he couldn't go without payin off this huge $500 ticket. I don't even remember what the ticket was for now. Put a huge delay on our plans and he didn't leave until November 13th, Dia's 1st birthday.

That should have been the huge red flag of all the things he would miss. We've spent more time apart than we have together. Right after AIT he went to Korea for a year, we went that whole year without seeing each other. I don't know why, but his leave never got approved to come home.

When he came back from Korea we PCS'd to Georgia and 7 months later he deployed for a year. Did a year home and deployed again for 15 months.

Now we're in Kansas and even tho I hate it, I'm happy to have him home for a while. To just be married and not have that lingering stress of a deployment is coming. He hates working in the DB but we both agree that even with all the bad, we're happy to be together for a while.
