Going Away

This story begins way back in November of 2005 when my fiancee joined the United States Marine Corps. He's been in now for a year and a half and has just received his orders to go to Iraq. The man that I love with all my heart will be reporting for training in just a matter of days and will spend four to five month of pre-deployment training before he officially ships off. The fact that he will be gone for a year still has not hit me, but when it does, I'm quite sure it will be similar to a bird hitting the windshield of a semi truck. I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with him being gone or the fear and uncertainty that this will bring. All that I know is that three months of boot camp was bad and this is going to be way worse.
So I've created this blog to post pictures and be able to keep him up to date with what is going on back here at home-where I am hoping and praying that he will safely return to.

A bird hitting the window of a semi truck... what an apt description.

Good luck John.... I'll be reading this blog to keep up with how you're doing!
