Well today has been 5 months since we got married! The weather has been beautiful the last couple of days and today is supposed to be the nicest day yet. It should get up to 67 degrees and be sunny. God knew just what I needed today!
I am a huge sucker for Teen Mom on MTV and last Tuesday night Catelynn and Tyler got married on it. They got married just one week exactly before Darren and I, them on August 22nd and us on August 29th. All I could like about was what we were doing on that weekend they were getting married...attending the pre-deployment conference.....yay us. I was a blubbering mess throughout the second half of the show. It just took me back to Darren's and my wedding and it was just such a wonderful day. It took me back to our rehearsal, saying our vows, exchanging our rings, kissing for the first time as husband and wife, and our first dance. It was just magical! Thankfully I have our wedding on DVD and can watch it anytime I want.
This month has taken a huge emotional toll on me. I think it's because Darren and I haven't seen each other at all this year. Of course we "see" each other on FaceTime but we can touch, tickle, cuddle, and do all the other things that a husband and wife should be able to do. I think, in a sense, we have been getting closer through prayer and our daily devotional. It's helping us to learn even more about each other and bring us closer to God. It's also making us appreciate what each of us does for the other better. Darren said he was never going to take me for granted ever again. When he comes back I think we will live in the moment more and be there for each other in ways like never before. We have a lot of stuff to look forward to and that is the only thing that is keeping me going these days. We are almost half way done.
So how does a girl celebrate 5 months of marriage when her husband is deployed? By going to Blingo Bingo at the base and taking her best friend Emilie! Here's to hoping we both win some fancy jewelry!
