Sent My Heart to CA

A year ago today. I can't believe it's been a year. At the exact same time, I am so surprised it's only been a year.

So much as happened. We have grown up so much. Or at least I think we have. Everything in our relationship was turned upside down. Over and over.

But wasn't it just a few days ago that we were spending every day together while he worked nights and I went to high school?

Guess not.

The Marine headed off to boot camp one year ago today. A life changing event for him. And it definitely altered my life as well.

I am so proud of him. He was absolutely amazing before he left (I mean, come on) but he just took that and grew and become somebody so much better. Which is hard for me to say, because I sure did love everything about him before he left. But yes, I really think he's better this way. He's happier. And in turn, I'm happier.


Hey Marine,

Congratulations on your very first year as a Marine. Alright. That's not true. You were just a baby recruit at this point in time. Actually, you were still in OKC waiting to leave. My point remains the same. You made it! One year down. What? Only 19 to go? ;) I am so proud of everything you have accomplished. I just wish I could see that face of yours more often. I love you so very much. And I miss you that much and probably more.

See you soon.
