Do You Remember-Jack Johnson.

So, I realized I haven't blogged in a while. Probably because I've been up north for about a week and my other reason is because I've been reading The Hunger Games trilogy, ha. I've now finished the trilogy though. Tonight I finished reading the third and final book of the Trilogy. I liked the first two books better then the last one though. It seems to depressing for my taste, but then again the second one had too much love story going on I think, ha. So that leaves the first one as my favorite, of course the first book is always usually the best. But anyways, yes I’m done with The Hunger Games trilogy sadly. Now I’ll just have to wait for the first movie to come out in March though :-) So, I was up north like I said, with Brit some and Sarah and Dan some too. Brit and I took maternity pictures this past Saturday of Bridgette. It was nice taking some pictures and hanging out with some friends. I really do enjoy taking pictures and my dad is very nice to let me borrow his camera so I can do so. I love taking pictures of kids though more I think. Anyways, that's another blog post for another day I think. Well, these past couple months have been a little rough in ways. I miss my husband, is the just of it I guess. And I can't wait for days where I can just talk to him whenever I want for more than just a couple minutes every couple of days. I miss him but I love him so. Also, today marks the day two years since my boyfriend at the time was leaving to go to Georgia for basic and I was saying goodbye to him in Lansing. Heartbroken after only having him for four months then having to let him go. Then around the same time a year later, he became my fiancé. He was stationed in Colorado though, and yet again we were apart. However texting and phone calls more nights before we went to sleep helped. After even just a year he had grown and changed into a different man. More independent and more confident in who he was and what he was doing with his life. But another year when by and that’s where we are today. He’s even farther away in Afghanistan, we only talk once in a while and on fb chat. But this time, I get to call him my husband and still my best friend. He’s changed even more this past year with more life experiences under his belt, realizing what he wants more and going for it, still independent, stronger, and confident in what he does…or at least those are a few things that I see when I look at him now. Wow two years. I’m so proud of him and the man he is and is becoming. So different then the boy that enlisted two years ago, but still that boy at times. He can’t fool me and I see him for that dork he is still, ha. However, he’s not the only one who has changed these past couple years, I have too. I’m definitely a stronger girl then I was two years ago when I said goodbye to him. I mean yeah I have my days but overall, I think I am. Besides I’m an army wife now, who would have thought, ha. Not me that’s for sure, but I’m not complaining that here I am. Married to my best friend. A man I’m so honored to call my husband and my soldier. Well, I’m getting quite tired seeing that it’s almost 4am, ha. So, yeah I’m just going to end here. Night.
