I'm 37 years of age and yet 21 at heart! I've been happily married since September of 2005 and am looking forward to many wonderful years with my husband Michael. I'm the kind of person that will try anything once...twice if it feels or tastes good! Including getting a tattoo or sky diving! I may tend to be a bit quiet at first, but after a drink or two some will say I don't shut up! I would describe myself as not pushy, but actually more laid back and go with the flow of my surroundings. My husband and I have just been stationed in Colorado Springs! We're seriously missing Vilseck Germany however, but we call home where the military sends us!Who I Am:I'm the brunette behind you in the store, eyeing the newest "Support Our Troops" magnet while paging through the latest issue of Cosmo. The look on my face is complacent and my thoughts are thousands of miles away on some military base my soldier has only described to me over the phone.
I'm the young woman in the next car with the windows rolled up and the glassy visage only on the road ahead. The radio is set to one of the local radio stations, which is currently playing "Letters from Home" - but you can't hear it because you're talking to a family member or a friend on your cell phone. You catch a glance at the "Soldier's Sweetheart" sticker on the bumper of my car, but you don't know that when the song reaches "my dearest love it's almost dawn, I've been laying here all night long, wondering where you might be", my heart breaks a thousand times.
I'm the woman who visits the Army Wife website at odd hours of the night to find some kind of comfort for that lonesome feeling that has settled in the pit of my stomach. I'm the woman who has fought an inner battle, trying to accept the path the man I love has chosen.
I'm the woman who will willingly sacrifice my family and my home to follow a man clear across the country or world. I'm the woman who never asked for this, but deals with it without complaint.
I'm the young woman who swells with pride every time I see my soldier standing tall in his Class A's, or BDUs, or ACUs, or DCUs. I'm the one who spots an Army sticker, license plate, or flag and feels a connection with it's owner, hoping that maybe I'm not alone in this melancholy situation.
I am the young woman who tries my hardest to go about my everyday life without him, who hates sleeping alone, and who closes my eyes and pretends that the man I love is laying right there next to me, his arms wrapped around me. I am the young woman who tries not to miss him, who tries not to cry whenever I hear his name or even the mention of soldiers. I am the woman who is terrified that the love of her life has been sent off to war.
I am many things, a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend. But most importantly, I am the Wife of an American Soldier.
