Well...I'll give you the basics about me and if you want to know more ask. I'm Stephanie. I'm 23 and live in Hawaii. I'm married to an amazing man, Jon. We celebtrated our 3rd wedding anniversary in November...and he actually got to be here for it this year. :) He just got home from Iraq in September. It's so great to have him back. We have a wonderful little boy named Cody. He's almost 2 years old already and becoming a handfull, but he's such a joy to have around. I love being a mother and am pregnant with our next child right now. Kaitlyn is due June 29th. We didn't waste any time after hubby got home :) We're so excited about adding to our family.

As you climb beneath the covers
And you feel the empty space,
You smile while you think of him
As tears run down your face.
Then you remember when he left
And the things you said you'd do,
You told him that you wouldn't cry
Though now that's hard to do.
But you wipe your tears and dry your eyes
And try to get some sleep,
Still, you want him safe at home so bad
It hurts you way down deep.
You just can't seem to understand
Why this is how it has to be,
Even though you know he's doing
What he must for you and me.
You go through life as best you can
Put on a mask to cover the pain,
But deep inside you wonder
When you'll see your man again.
But no matter what, you love him
You and he go hand in hand,
Perfect, like the moon and stars
Or the waves upon the sand.
So each night before you go to bed
You close your eyes and pray,
And in your mind you count how long
Your soldier's been away.
