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! =)

  1. I am so happy that you get to finally be with your husband after so long! I truly envy how strong you are as a person. As a woman engaged to a man who is about to start life as a military man, I'm not sure how I am going to handle all of the time apart. I would like to say I'm going to be emotionally strong as you seem to be... but I will probably be crying quite a bit. I hope you enjoy life in Korea. Though I don't know you much, I'll be praying for you to have a safe trip and a great start to your marriage. Good luck!

  3. Huff- Thank you so much! Trust me, it def isn’t always perfect and I have my rough days where I cry. BUT you do what you have to do to make it work and get through the day. You will learn that you have to be strong for your fiancĂ© because he is doing such an honorable thing. The way I look at it is if we are having a bad day then he will have a bad day in the field...which is dangerous and can potentially put his life in danger. You are strong for them which in turn makes you strong for yourself. Thanks for the prayers and please continue them.
