9 years ago, I was a bride waiting for her groom and so excited to start our journey together. 9 years later, I am anxiously waiting for my groom to return home from his second deployment. Andrew, did you ever imagine that those 20 year old kids would be so extremely blessed and come so far together? I am just as excited to see you walk towards us in that airport a few months from now as I was to walk down that church aisle on our wedding day. Happy 9th Anniversary, Andrew.
Andrew and I have spent about half of our marriage separated by the Army. The
separations are difficult, but they have also formed our relationship into what it is today. I love that Andrew has made such a huge sacrifice, I love the soldier that he has become, I love what he stands for in that uniform, I love him in that uniform :), and I love what he demonstrates to our little boy by serving his country.
I couldn't spend my anniversary with my soldier but this little cutie made it all okay.
Buddy Bee and I skyped with Andrew in the afternoon and later that evening we had a little impromptu photo shoot. Buddy Bee was in charge of the camera remote. :)
It was a everyday, silly, laid back photo session, but I love the pictures Buddy Bee took. It is days like this that will get us through this deployment.
