Okay so we dont have that great love story. We met in 1989. DH joined the army so that we could get married. In 1991 he went of to basic and left me in tears. 5 months later we were married and 2 weeks later he was headed for germany then the middle east.. I didnt see him for 9 months. Our love has been tested and tested time and time again in the last 17 years. After trying for a few years we had our beautiful daughter in 96. He was promoted and left for korea when she was 3 months. In 98 he was promoted and our little boy was born. Yes he left again when our son was 3 months for Bosnia. Our 3rd little one was born in 03. We never thought about having more children so he is what we call "dad just got off the 24 months drill trail". When he was 3 months dad left once again for training for deployment to middle east and yes promoted again. Okay so there is something about us having kids and him leaving and gettting promoted. No more kids! I love my husband dearly. He is my best friend.

But, I can feel the love you have and that is awesome. Hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! And I am so glad you joined in the blogfest! I love meeting other military wives!

It's been a long time since we were military. I was a Navy brat and later Navy wife.
When DH was in the Navy (VietNam) for 4 years ... we spent 18months together and 9months I was pregnant.
He was on the USS Intrepid (last air craft carrier through the Suez Canal); then on the USS America (while we were on leave the sister squadron was almost wiped out due to an accident on base so his squadron had to take their place); and lastly he was on the USS Enterprise (it exploded outside of Hawaii, starter engine too close to the bombs on the flight deck).
Hang in there ... we oldies appreciate all they do and know what you're going through now.
