Military Family?

Hi all! Most of you know me and who I am, but just in case you're from Kelly's Korner I'll give you a quick run down.

I am 19 years old and a junior at the University of Tulsa majoring in Deaf education (which I adore).

I am dating a United States Marine, simple known as the Marine around here.

We aren't a typical family. Actually, most people wouldn't consider us a family. But I have learned that families come in all shapes and sizes. We aren't a family in the sense that we have kids. Or in a sense that we have a marriage license under our belt. We're still working towards that, but we haven't got there just yet.

He is my family though. Well he is as much my family as my own family. Not to undermine my personal family, simply to boost him. His family has been a huge support system to me as I juggle school, work, and our relationship (which I'm sure could be more work than the other two combined). He is the person I turn to in every situation. He's the one person I want to talk to, love on, and support everyday. He's that first thought in the morning and the last one before I fall asleep. We are family.

We started dating well before he ever joined the Marines. Right now, he's still in school, but he should be finished with that in May where he will be stationed at his first duty station. He still has a lot to learn about his new and crazy life and I have even more to learn.

I'm currently in the middle of a 30 day challenge so the time I would normally spend blogging is used on that, so not a whole lot is happening around here, but stick around and watch our relationship grow and change as the USMC gives us a whole new perspective on everything.
