My First Time

No, it's probably not what you're thinking! lol.. This is my very FIRST blog. I have several friends that blog and it seems to help them when they're feeling a little "blah" and need to clear their mind. I suppose that's what I'm trying to do, sort out my thoughts and find something to occupy my time. Not sure what I really want to talk about or focus on, so pardon my random posts until I can figure out just where I want to go with all of this. I'm at a point in my life that is full of "first times" so I suppose I will start with that.

Over the weekend I became a married woman! The love of my life and I exchanged vows at a state park overlooking a waterfall on St. Patricks Day, it was perfect. We just had a very small and simple ceremony and are planning on having a big ceremony and reception next year with all of our family and friends. We've been together two years and I'm looking forward to many, many more.

Recently we found out my husband is getting deployed in the near future. Another first, not for him but for me. He's been on deployments before so it's not a big deal but for me, that's a whole different story. I'm absolutely dreading it, of course I don't think theres a wife out there that wants their man to be gone for months or years on end so I know I'm not alone. I'm trying to stay positive and think about the good things that can come of this, it will give me time to continue my education and he will be getting the experience he needs for the career he wants to have when he returns. Ok, after that last sentence I can think of about a million negative things so I suppose it's time to stop while I'm ahead ;)

So, hopefully this didn't put you to sleep or make you bored out of your mind. Thanks for reading!

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
