I've been married for about 2 and a
half months now. Along with the marriage itself, my life went through a ton of
changes. I had been living in Indiana since 2005. I was working at the local
police department as a Victim Advocate, a job I had since 2009 and absolutely
loved. Being a military wife includes a lot of sacrifices. I had to quit my
job, pack up, and move to Ohio to be with my husband.
It's been a tough adjustment for me.
I was a very independent person...although I was still living with my parents.
I had a job, paid my bills, and if I wanted to buy something...I did it. Now I
am dependent on my husband. We currently have one car, so I spend much of my
time in our apartment. I miss my friends. I miss my job. But I love my husband.
Marriage is tough, scary, and absolutely amazing.
Our entire relationship was long
distance. The most time we had spent together at any given time was just over a
week. We are learning each others' habits and quirks. I get irritated every time I
trip over his boots that he haphazardly leaves wherever he takes them off, but
I know I would miss it if they weren't there.
I love our time together and I am
incredibly lucky to have him in my life. I love my "good morning"
kiss, even though it comes way too early. I love watching movies together,
playing Wii, and Nerf Wars. I love that he will order me a pizza at 11pm and
get me ice cream, just because I wanted it. I love falling asleep in his arms
and our candlelit dinners. Even though he frustrates me and makes me angry. I
couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else.
I know things won't always be easy. I
know that this is only the beginning. I know we're going to fight, and laugh,
and cry...but, I also know that no matter what life throws at us, we're going
to get through it together.
Marriage is a struggle at times, but
if you're willing to work through the bad moments, you can enjoy all the good
things that come your way.
