I was sitting here the other
night, thinking about, pondering, and pretty much just trying to remember the
past few years of my life.
Isn’t it funny how the things that mean so
much to you, seem to escape you at times. So here you have it. The extremely under
exaggerated version of my past and how it all plays into how I ended up here.

2001: age 19 Met Patrick . . . at Wal-Mart. Little did I know...
2002: age 20 took
a huge leap of faith and became his bride. Moved nearly 900 miles away from
everything I knew to Savannah, Ga.
2003: age 21 learned
to live alone and in a constant state of fear. The war had started any my new
husband was right in the middle of it; Kuwait & Iraq. This would be Deployment
# 1 and the beginning of a reoccurring nightmare.
2004: age 22
became a mother for the first time on May 28
2005: age 23 Deployment
#2 - Iraq; baby and I moved back to Missouri for 6 months.
2006: age 24 Deployment
# 2 ended and I became a mother for the second time on September 20
2007: age 25 Deployment
#3 for the husband - Iraq again.
2008: age 26
Deployment # 3 ended
Deployment #4 started - Afghanistan

ReplyDeleteyour timeline makes me so sad. i couldn't imagine living without my husband for more than a week. kudos, lady :) it takes two really strong people for that.
i'd love to do an ad swap if you're interested. if so, i'm doing a sponsor post tomorrow. if you want to get in on that you can send me (1) a blurb about your blog, (2) links to your online presence, (3) a photo of you.
