I Think I Love My Husband

-MJ in Kosovo-

Ok so I don't think, I know. Oh, how I love my husband....Err Fiance. He is just so incredibly sweet. There are seriously times that I have to pinch myself just because I cannot believe that I got lucky enough to have such a wonderful man. Yesterday during our usual lunch break phone session he told me all the reasons that he loved me. He was so sleepy and as it got closer to the end of my lunch break and closer to his bedtime I could tell he was dozing off. I don't get offended. Hey, it's late and the guy is tired. Even so, he didn't want to get off the phone until our full hour was up even though I kept saying, "just go to bed, baby."

Today he sent me an e mail out of the blue just saying he was thinking about me. When I asked him what made him think about me today he just said that he is always thinking about me. This day is no different then any other-he just so happened to tell me about it in an e mail today.

My heart...melting. Oh, and did I mention how absolutely sexy and adorable he is?

He is just so sweet. Sometimes the whole phone relationship does get old. I get frustrated and irritable about it. I told him as much today. He always more then makes up for those frustrations just by continuing to be him. And, I love him for it. "Awww....how cute, they must still be in the honeymoon phase you say, It won't last." Well, we have been together long enough that we are definitely past that point. True, during the time that we have been together he has been deployed for almost half of it, but long distance relationships come with its own set of potential pitfalls and we have held up just fine through the worst of it thus far. I know the true test comes when he comes back and we shack up in my studio which is small enough for one person let alone two. On the one hand I say, "We must be crazy!!" but on the other hand I think it will be good for us to know we can get through something like that. Regardless, this will be our home for however long it takes us to find a house. Space will be limited. We're gonna get on each other's nerves. My neat freak OCD tendencies are going to be sent into overdrive and will probably drive us both crazy. We will disagree. We might argue. All I can say is bring it. I'm ready.
