Happy Anniversary

Two lives, two hearts
joined together in friendship
united forever in love.

Eleven years ago today, I married my best friend. I didn't grow up in a military family and had no what idea being a military wife was going to entail. All I knew was I loved him and I couldn't wait to start our life together. I was up for any adventure that the Air Force would throw our way. And what an adventure it has been! We have traveled the world, started a family, bought our first house, and moved across the country (a few times). We have had to say good-bye to friends as we have moved. Lost family and friends to tragedy. Watched our family and friends start their families. We have laughed together and cried together. There have been good times and times that were there to bring us closer together. The military has become our life and our friends have become family. We have spent much of our relationship and marriage apart but I wouldn't take back a day of those eleven years. I look forward to the future we have and the adventures we will experience. He is my best friend and I can't imagine going through this world without him holding my hand.
