As time goes by....

It is what it is....

Tomorrow I will be officially graduating (I have been done with school since April though) and will receive my Associate Science Degree Graphic Design. It's funny...I never really saw myself as a graphic designer, and here I am today graduating and working as one. Life is for sure full of surprises, if I looked back in time, I would not have seen myself where I am today.

The best surprise of all was marrying Brad and than of course graduating college (not that I didn't see myself graduating before) I just had no clue what I wanted to be or do with my life. Brad and I are such awesome partners or best friends. We work together really well, and have more love than anyone can imagine.

You know, when we got married Brad and I were in love, but the love we have now is so different than the love we had before. It's on a whole different level, its amazing. I love how love can get stronger and stronger, which reminds me of that song "...and I thought I loved you than". That song truly has much significance.

Brad is now in AIT and seems to be enjoying it. He loves doing PT (physical training) and getting his body looking good ... he is funny. He is also excited about the classes he will be going through and prays that he can pass this 35 M course, supposedly only 160 out of 270 guys will graduate from this course. I know Brad can and will pass and graduate on September 30th. Ahh...september please come faster :) It's not that I want to wish my life away..I love my life..but I wish my husband could be in it more. But he will be soon enough, I just keep reminding myself, I will have him for forever..forever..forever...this is nothing compared to forever.

It makes me happy being able to hear from him everynight to say I love you... I look forward every single day to that phone to ring with his name on it. It makes me so excited :) Even if we don't get to talk for long...its well worth the wait.

I just want my husband, my hero, my best friend to know I love him so very much and so happy to be his wife. See you soon love...

Life is full of changes and adventures but I am so happy to go through these adventures and ups and downs with the support of family and Brad by my side...

Brad Basic Training Graduation


Well, he did it! My husband is now officially a soldier of the U.S. Army! I am so proud of him...through the last 10.5 weeks we have only written letters to each other, and the weekly Sunday phone call is the only time I heard his voice. Sometimes we talked for 5 min...sometimes 2 hours. More so the average was 30 min. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do, to be all alone in Utah without him.

While he was away, I have been working and moved to a new apartment, bought furniture, and did so much more on my own. I learned a lot through this exper
ience, as Brad has also. He is now a man. He is different but a good different, I love him so much and I love him more than I did when he left...it is true...distance makes the heart grow fonder...Wow, I look back and it seems that time went by pretty fast, but at the same time each and everyday felt like a life time.

My husband means the world to me and seeing him graduate and seeing the confidence he now has and the man he has become has made me one of the proudest wife you can have. I love him so much and he is the best of the best, I am so glad I married hi
m about almost 2 years ago. We were only together for 10 hours and now he is on a bus...heading to the next training for 19 more weeks. That 10 hours was the best 10 hours of my life, you may say, out of your whole life? That was the best? and I will tell you now and over and over again, yes! Our love for each other just continues to grow stronger and stronger, and it is the best feeling in the world.

I appreciate my husband so much, for his courage, and his strength to do what many others have not yet attempted or will not attempt to do. He has made me a better person, and I feel that him and I together we can conquer anything. Nothing will ever tear us apart or bring us down. We will be together forever, and that is the best feeling anyone could ever have.

Thank You Brad for being you. I am so proud of you.

may 13th, 2010 is a day we will never forget for many reasons. hooah!
