It has been a crazy few months for us. I have spent the last two weeks getting our stuff ready to move, so when Brandon comes home we can enjoy our time.
A few days ago I went to the Brantley Gilbert concert and ended up finding Kelley and Shaun. It was so good to see them seeing as we are all PCSing, but different directions. I haven't seen Shaun in close to two years I'd say. We wanted to stay and watch the fireworks and it hit me this is my last fourth of July here for a while. The move is finally starting to hit home. I have been so busy I haven't thought about it. Well it is coming whether I like it or not.
It got me thinking about how crazy this past year has been. Brandon and I have been through a lot personally and together. We have tackled obstacles I hope most people never go through in their lives, but it makes us that much stronger. There have been quite a lot of highs to go along with that. 2013 has been a lot of good for us. We got engaged, married, and soon will be moving and living together. It will be one of the biggest adventures we probably ever go on and I couldn't imagine someone better to share it with. I know it won't be easy, but I also know it will be one of the best things that could ever happen to us. We will learn to depend on one another much better than we do now. It has been over six years since we have lived in the same state, so this will take some getting used to. We are both incredibly independent, so it won't be easy.
Had I been told a year ago this is where we'd be I think I would laugh in someone's face. Our journey hasn't been an easy one, but it is one to remember. All the headaches (or most) we can laugh about now. I know there will come a day when we can laugh about all of it! I know when we look back on the next few months we will laugh about the problems we had. It will all be growing pains and getting used to being together.
Last night we went out to dinner with Kelley and Shaun and talked about how couples in the military (who get stuck with drill instructor) can get divorced when they are apart too much. Brandon and I laughed because we are used to being apart (not laughing about them getting divorced) and knowing it is an issues I think it makes a world of difference.
I am just excited to be able to reflect on this time in our lives and laugh about the little things we stressed about.
