This year my wife and I will celebrate 27 years of marriage. In today's world that is forever. Yet I feel like I have only just begun since my grandparents this past year just before my grandfather died celebrated 70 years. To say it has always been wedded bliss would be a lie. We are two individuals who come from different backgrounds. We have had our ups and downs. Yet I would not return a single year back. Well save the around four years I have been gone with the Army. I would exchanges those for four years to be home. Apostle Paul sad there would be problems in marriage.
We were married young she 19 me 18. She was my 1st Sergeants daughter. Yes I live life on the edge. I was a mere PV2, E-2. Barely had mosquito wings to hold down my collar.
She interestingly enough said three nevers and got me. Never marry someone from her home town. Never marry some one in the military. Never marry a minister. God must have been laughing hard when we hooked up.
As she sleeps here beside me I cannot help but think about my up coming deployment and her once again taking care of the home front. I long to stay home with her. Yet I raised my right hand and swore to support and defend . . . . My evaluations have always said to send me to the toughest jobs, and that the Army has done.
I am proud of my wife for with each tough assignment she has been there to support me during the good, the bad, and the ugly. There has been much ugly.
Proverbs says that a man who finds a good wife has found a great thing. I am extremely blessed to have found my bride. I love you babe.
