Today is a big day...Alex and I are celebrating 5 years of marriage. It's really hard to believe that it has already been 5 years since that whirlwind weekend of boot camp graduation. So much has happened in this half of a decade. Though technically due to deployments, work ups, schooling, and various other things courtesy of the USMC, we've probably only actually spent maybe 2 1/2 years of it together. I'm not complaining though - any time we get to spend together is definitely better than no time. And of course, this is the life we chose. Sometimes it seems like we've experienced in 5 years what most people might not even experience in an entire lifetime. But I'm thankful for every minute of it.
It's also a big day in another way...today Alex moves back home - officially. After basically 2 years of seperation, I think we are both looking forward to being husband and wife again. And I believe we both have a better understanding of exactly what that means. I think we're looking forward to forging a new path in life together and making sure we take full advantage of all life has to offer us. The past has been wiped away and we're starting on a clean slate. There have definitely been some essential life lessons learned here and I'm sure everything we've been through will make our future that much sweeter. He is truly the cheese to my macaroni.
Here's to the first day of the rest of our lives!
