2 Years and Counting..

Today is our second wedding anniversary. I feel so blessed to be able to spend it with my husband. Although this deployment has been tough, there is no one else in the world I would wait for. When I think I can't get through another day without him, I just think of his smiling face, or his cute laugh when something is really funny and I know that I have no other choice.



Michael I love you and I am so happy to call you my husband. I know we will have many more years of happiness together.

What Happens in Dewey...

Back in the day, Dewey used to be the coolest place to hang out in the summer. I am sure for some people it still is. Dewey is the type of beach where there are streets of bars and drunken people falling over themselves. It is so crazy down there it had its own reality TV show on Real TV. I had my moment were Dewey was so much fun. There have been a ton of memories there, after all, it is where I met my husband :)

But those days have come and gone. I just don't see the point in driving down there to get wasted and pay money when I can do the same thing in my house, not have to worry about driving somewhere or paying a lot of money to drink or stand in lines.

Well today is the day we are revisiting those days! Today is one of Michael's friends birthdays and we are traveling down there with a group of people to celebrate. I haven't been in about two years, so it should be interesting. Wish me luck and pray I don't get too annoyed by all the 'young' people there who are wasted, bumping into me or try to hit on my husband. They might get 'accidentally' punched in the face! HA

What a Beautiful Day!

The last two days have been amazing here! It is finally sunny, after weeks of rain. The husband and I were able to lay in the pool yesterday and today. It finally feels like summer and my summer tan is finally starting to look up. My husband's on the other hand....well we have time to work on it, poor thing!

This is also my 200th post! I can't believe it. It has been a great outlet throughout this deployment. It's nice to be able to write what I am thinking or feeling on days. Now we are in the double digits of this deployment and I received an email today about a reintegration meeting that is coming up in August! Yay!

Trying Out for the Olympics

Last night we had Michael's birthday party. It was a great opportunity for him to see all his friends while he was home and just have a fun night. Originally the plan was for him to drink and hang out. Well that plan never works, because he only has like two beers and then decides to stop drinking. That plan was fine with me last night, because I more than made up for his non-drinking.

Let's just say, that by the end of the night, my best friend, sister-in-law and me were doing synchronized jumps off the diving board into my parents pool. It was the most fun I have had in a long time, even if my husband did say we acted like we were twelve. I just hope my fun didn't take away from his, even though I am pretty sure he was amused at the three of us acting like idiots!

100 Moreee

Only 100 days left in this God awful deployment. YAY! I can't believe it. I remember when there were 100 days left until Michael came home. By the time he has to go back we will be down in the 80's and double digits!

Speaking of leaving...I already had my first breakdown about him leaving again. (I know, completely stupid) It is so nice having him, I can't even explain it and no one can fully understand it unless you are away from someone you love for an extended time (more than a month thank you). It is amazing waking up next to him, cuddling, making me breakfast, simply yelling out "I love you" or holding my hand.

I love my husband so very much.

Happy Birthday to ME!

So far, this has been the best birthday ever! My husband is able to be with me, and not only that, I woke up to him cooking me breakfast, roses and a wonderful birthday card.

It has been an amazing day already and it's not even 8 am! Yay!

Now Arriving at Gate...

Michael finally landed yesterday! His flight was originally supposed to come in at 2:30, but was delayed a half hour by the time we got to the airport. We (me and his mom) were able to get special passes to go right to the gate, which was really nice. The time for his plane touchdown came and went, and by this point I was almost losing it.

Finally, an hour late, his plane taxied to the gate. I swear it felt like he was the last one to get off the plane (I'm sure he wasn't), but I was so excited to see him. I saw him before he saw me, and I started to get teared up, but was able to pull myself together by the time I got to hug him.

It was the best feeling in the world...
