I Love That Man!

So this is what it feels like to have your dreams come true. I feel like I am in on some sort of a secret and maybe I'm undeserving. I mean, what makes me so special? Well, I kind of roll my eyes knowingly on that question, because really it's quite simple. He does. He makes me so special.

It's true, I'm one of those military spouses that is actually in love with her soldier. Don't worry, I hate him too. But what would love be without a little hate sprinkled in there every now and then? It definitely teaches me appreciation. But I am normal, so there are times when I could just...when I just want to...When I feel myself boiling...well, you know, times when I could just kill him. With kindness of course!

When I think about how much my life has changed, how overwhelming the military can be, especially overseas, the rules, the regulations, the 'it's a part of the job' nonchalant attitude of my husband and his peers, well, I seriously could pull all of my hair out...and I LOVE my hair! But, I love that man. From his need to strategically place his boots where he's sure that I'll trip over them head first, to his enjoyment of using the bathroom with the door open, down to his grunts when I exclaim my love for him, to his ability to convince me that I need a brand new Dodge Challenger before they're no longer available for purchase and I'd have missed out on the opportunity for a classic. *Sigh* I just love that man.

So, it has been a long journey getting to where we are. Let me tell you, I've got a rebellious streak in me so big that I have trouble discerning right from wrong. However, I also have a strong desire to support my husband in his endeavors because I realize that he has us, his family in mind as he makes unique decisions that in some way or another affect us all. I'm still learning, and that's what this blog is all about. My path. So let's get started.

I'm Christany. I'm a 30 year old mom of two girls and a dog. I am the wife, sister, and daughter of a soldier. I left my home, my job, my friends, and family to move all the way across the world, to be with the man I love. I just have to say, and not even close to being the final time, I really, truly, deeply love that man! Nice to meet you.
