Boy meets girl. Girl marries boy. Boy joins the Army. Girl meets Army life. Boy and girl make the most of this tough life. After all, it's ours...
Persian proverb:
Those who love earnestly are doomed, but those that love with irony shall find contentment.
Those who love earnestly are doomed, but those that love with irony shall find contentment.
We cannot escape the influence our lives have on the lives of others.

Goethe Says:
"Take care of your body with steadfast fidelity. The soul must see through these eyes alone, and if they are dim, the whole world is clouded."
Roger Bannister Says:
The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win.
All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.

I cried just seeing the pictures. I don't think any of us can understand all of your emotions in finally having him home!!! What a happy day! Crying tears of joy for you!
I'm SO happy for both of you guys! What a wonderful time. Prayers have been answered. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Enjoy!
A few things. One- could any blog be sweeter? If you don't tear up at these photos, then something is wrong with you. Two- you look freaking amazing. So gorgeous. I love that even though you probably had to get up (stay up?) at one a.m. in order to be there at 5 something a.m., you made the effort to look uber-foxy. Every other wife seems to be wearing her pajamas. Not impressed. Well done you. Three- I also love that your house has more flags than the actual military hangar. Let me or Shauna know when you are ready for a date- night.
I don't even know your husband and I couldn't hold back my tears while I was looking at these photos! I can't even imagine the relief and joy that you must feel right now! Congratulations- for enduring, for being amazing, and for being so dang gorgeous!!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go re-do my makeup!
I'm so happy for your sweet family. You look beautiful. I bet your hubby is glad to be back.
