The things i learn

So, things have been pretty rough lately. But, i've learned that marriage is not meant to be easy... especially when your so young and you marry into the stress of the military. My new found strategy to keep the peace and enjoy my marriage is patience... i never thought one little word could work wonders. So far it has ease alot of stress and has created a better enviornment. Some other news, i started running again. Let me just say, today wore me out... hopefully tomorrow is better. till then...

unappreciated...

its crazy how someone can change so much in so little time. lately ive been struggling to just get him to touch me or cuddle or have a serious conversation... its  always... im doing something... or ... im tired...  i do everything i can possibly to make him happy but i feel like he doesnt have the same mindset. maybe its stress... but... i dont deserve to not be loved as much as i put out my love for him. not sure what i can even do anymore... maybe just give him the same treatment and see how he likes it.

the ones who are there.

The past couple weeks have been going by so fast while my husband is away at bridgeport. but now i've hit the single digits and he'll be home in 9 days! :) I can't wait until he is back. No person nor friend could ever even amount to all that he does for me. in fact, he is my best friend. The past few days have brought a bit of drama into my life which i havent seen since my junior year of high school. But, its nothing i'll think twice about after today. You realize the important people in your life and you do anything to keep them around. Right now in my life, im surrounded by a great husband, great friends and great times. No one can even try to bring me down.

waiting...

just waiting for the husband to return home from pendleton. stupid training. only 5 more nights alone. its crazy for it still to have such an effect on me seeing as i've made it through a deployment and month long training ops but nevertheless, it does. really want him to just come home already and be in bed with me every night.

trying

well, this is my first post and im brand new to the whole blogging idea. so here it goes... My name is Tara, im 20 years old and married to an amazing man, Alex, a Marine. I deal with late nights and unexpected training ops. i feel like i barely see my husband. but when i do. its all worth the waiting. he is currently away training. though i've made it through long distance relationship and deployments with him and 10 days away still feels like forever.... blehhh! hence why im finally starting a blog. I suppose i should start it out with our love strory. So, we met in georgia. he was stationed their for his first duty station. i was on base because my parents were military and i used the base gym on my off time.. well one day in december he and a buddy were at the gym and i noticed him across the whole gym. He still thinks i was going for his friend. dork. but anyways, he and his friend were intrested in my friend and i and came over to ask us to play basketball, and i sucked horribly. but nevertheless, we got each others numbers and his friend tried "talking" to me but there was just something about alex, he was me in male form. and im not just being a cliche when saying that. i REALLY believe we are one person. and well we started "talking" and not even a month later we officially started dating. a year later he proposed to me and then a year after that we got married. i couldnt be anymore in love with that man. until next time...
