3 Years Ago Today...

3 Years Ago Today, I married my best friend and soul mate. Yes, today is our 3-year wedding anniversary. Will I get a phone call? Will he be able to get online and chat for awhile? Who knows? All I know is that even though this day is special, and the passing of another day brings us closer to being together again.

The last 3 years haven't been easy, and they've not been the hardest thing ever either. We've had our normal "ups" and "downs" like any couple, and we've had many disagreements and misunderstandings. My wonderful husband has been deployed for the past year of our marriage, and due to training and stuff, been gone a lot before that.  Sometimes it's hard to feel like a "real wife" when my husband is gone so much!

But then I look at our beautiful children- our 4 year old daughter, 3 year old son, and 7 month old son- and I see him in them. I see these tiny, perfect little beings, who are a reflection of he and I, and our love for each other.  At the end of the day, what keeps me going is our beautiful children, and knowing that he loves me and is going to return home to me.

I am thrilled, beyond a doubt, to be his wife and the mother of his children. I am TRULY HAPPY being his wife, and the mother of his children. He and I have something that few people ever find, or get to experience... True, unconditional love. He and I have learned, through all the "drama" the last few years, that no matter what, neither of us WANT to live without the other, we're both committed to staying together, and we both love each other.  

 An amazing feeling, to know that the person you go to bed dreaming about every night, loves you too and is going to return home to you, and make the dreams a reality! It's wonderful to know that my husband and I can make it through anything, and still come out together, and be okay, that we really will, spend the rest of our lives together.

This Anniversary is hard, because distance separates us... But we're together in mind, spirit and heart. We are always together in mind and heart. We are truly one. And the day will come, soon enough, where we are truly together in the same place again! Until then... we communicate, make it work, and look forward to the day we are all together again!

Vincent, I love you with all of my heart and soul. You are the most wonderful husband and father to our children... You have far exceeded my dreams and imaginings! You are the reason I keep going, the thought of holding you again and kissing you, just being able to lay next to you, is what keeps me trying when it feels like it's too hard and I want to give up. I could search the whole world over, and not find a man anywhere near as wonderful as you... You are truly the best, and I am so glad you are mine! Happy Anniversary Sweetheart, please know that even though we are apart, you are still in my thoughts, dreams, and mind... and your name is always on my lips! I can't wait to see what the rest of our life together will bring, I know that we will still be here many years from now, and I am so happy that's the case! I LOVE YOU!! *SMOOCHES*
