I guess before I start sharing insight and details of our lives I should first tell you a little bit about ourselves. We are a Military Family. My hubby has been in the Army for 9 years, and yes... we are "lifers." I will never share too many details about his job because that's part of it, everything he does is super secret... hehehehe ...shhhhh! I moved to be with Mike 6 years ago and I'll admit it now, I never thought we'd still be here today. I thought his military career was going to be short lived and that he'd finish out his time and we'd be back in New York before our lives ever really started as a married couple. Life and the Lord always have a different plan. We both agreed that if Mike (my hubby) re-enlisted then "that was that" ... we were staying in for the entire 20. When Mike re-enlisted, retirement looked so far away but now that we are already at the half-way mark I can't believe how fast its going. I have been with Mike his entire Military career. We dated long distance for the first couple and then in 2004 we got married. Best desicion of my life. Mike is an amazing man. Hard worker, great friend, amazing father, and full of life and ambition. He inspires me to be a better person everyday of my life. He's made sacrifices that no man should ever have to make and does it all graciously. We have been through 12 deployment together, and before your get too confused, Mike's unit only deploys for a few months at a time, not 12-18 month tours. This is a blessing but believe me when I say its a few months that I sit here on anxiously waiting and praying for his SAFE return. The pictures posted are from this past July when he returned home. "Trip" #12 will always remain fresh in my mind. You wouldn't think you'd forget each "trip" but after awhile they all start to feel the same way but not "Trip" #12. This last one will remain special. This last one touched us all. This last one WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
