The week is finally here...

This week is the week. I cannot believe it is finally here. In just four short days I will be on a flight heading to Seoul, South Korea to finally be with my husband. I haven’t seen him in three months and I miss him more than words can say. The thought of finally being able to hug him, kiss him, and simply have a face to face conversation with him is indescribable.

One positive thing about a long distance engagement/marriage is you truly learn to appreciate the little things. Most couples and people in general, forget how special being able to hug someone or just simply sit on the couch and laugh with your best friend or family is. I am looking forward to those things the most, and of course not having to worry about the service going out on Skype when we’re trying to have a five minute conversation-HA!

So I am sure you are wondering the same question everyone has been asking me, "Are you nervous? Are you scared? I could never move to a different country!"  So the answer is, of course I am a little nervous but not so much about living in another country.

I am more nervous about flying on a plane for 17 hours straight then actually living in a new place. Most of all, the fact that Colt and I will be facing our first big test of marriage is scary. We will be in a different country, just him and I, no family, and a little apartment. Although I am nervous about those small things I am so excited to finally be with my husband. I am excited to finally tackle and conquer the speed bumps that the first year of marriage always brings. I am excited to finally develop a life and marriage that we call our own. I am so ready to finally experience my marriage that I can’t even consider being nervous about living in a new country. The bottom line is I will be with my husband and that makes everything worth it.

So, my bags are packed, our townhome is empty, storage unit is full and I’m ready to go! South Korea here I come! Colt here I come! Life, here I come! =)

Army Wife Prayer

A dear friend of mine sent me this ad that she found while searching for designs for a cake. This brought tears to my eyes because this is very similar to a prayer that I pray every night for my husband and I. It was very touching to me and is so true.



My Bucket List!

My Bucket List

Even now, I can't claim to understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this: I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open, and I'm pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place because he was buried on the mountain, and that was against the law.
