Eight Years

Thats how long I've been married as of today. Eight years ago today DZ and I held up several court house workers in order to get married before he left for war . You see we had planned to get hitched the following May that is until the events of September 11th and DZ was given orders to go overseas. We had an appointment to get married in the little cramped office with our family and friends present in the afternoon but DZ had to drive down from GA and because my luck just sucks like that he got caught in TONS of traffic and was WAY late. The people were all super-duper nice (you know all that patriotic feeling was still going strong at the time) so they actually kept the court house open past closing time for us and then took us up to an actual court room since we had about 20 family & friends present. It was nice and well just 'us' so we decided not to have a traditional ceremony when he got home from OEF.

It's been extremely trying at times and there have been plenty of tears and fights but those are just the life of a Military wife. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
