I'm sure most of you who read this will agree, the moment you meet your husband or wife to be, you know it, you feel it. When I met Joe I knew immediatly that he was the man I was going to marry. I knew that would also mean leaving my home of 11 years, my best friend, and a job I loved, but finding your soul mate is worth the sacrifice...at least that's what I tell myself, haha. We arrived at Ft. Drum in the 2nd week of Ocober, and he was deployed the 1st week of November for 6 months. He missed our 1 year anniversary, our 1st Christmas, New Years, and I won't say it's been easy, but, I wouldn't trade my life for anything. I love being a military spouse, and I can't wait for my husband to come home so we can bring into the world a couple of "Army Brats" To all the military spouses out there I would like to say, We are the proud, we are the few, we are the brave, we are the backbone and the strenth behind every fighting man and woman in uniform.
