Im Gina Nickel, Im 20, and I just got married on July 9th, 2008 which was my 2 year anniversary with the love of my life,my everything, my best friend, and now my Husband Bradley Nickel. Its crazy how things work out. And now here we are expecting a baby & we are so happy and excited! Looking back I would have never thought I would be married at 19, let alone in love!! Me and Brad met through other friends and made plans over myspace to go with a bunch of friends to go see Superman. We didn't really get to connect then & he knows why haha. But we definitely hung out more and more. We dated and he tried to ask me out on my birthday but it didnt happen that way, but that was when we had our first kiss and he said he knew from that night that this was different, that I was the one, the one he would bring home to his parents. Finally on July 9th, 2006, he asked me out and ofcourse I said YES! Bradley was a sort of bad kid well on the wrong path, but he changed completely, you would never think he was the same person! Brad always had a hard time coming to see me when we first starting going out, since he always was in trouble, and he would get his car taken away, but that didnt stop him. There were many nights when he would run, walk or ride a bike to my house, I would open the door to a sweaty tired looking boyfriend, but it was so cute that he would do anything to see me. After only 3 months we said we loved eachother and we both had such strong feelings for one another. Everyone who knew me and Brad couldnt believe our relationship, we were and still are so perfect together. Me and him will be together forever, despite what anyone may think. Together we are so goofy and anything that comes out of our mouth shows the type of people that we are, and it could be the songs we have for eachother(babybaaluga) or phrases like (here I am , there you go) Every halloween we carve pumpkins together. Every christmas we get a tree and new ornaments and decorate together, we can dance even when theres no music on and have such an great time doing it!. Anything we do together we just have such an amazing time. Dont get me wrong we fight, all people do, but ours dont last long because we hate staying mad at one another. As the months went by we only got closer and more in love. And March 25th, is when life hit us. Bradley got accepted into the air force and he then that night asked to marry me. The happiest day ever. Just looking at him on one knee, I threw my self at him and said yes, then he asked if i wanted to put the ring on. ahhaha! I knew him leaving wasnt going to be easy, especially two weeks after our wedding. So I started planning and it kept my mind off of the fact that he would be leaving. The day finally came when I would walk down the isle, and would look at the man i loved and would say I do! I was so nervous but I just focused on him the whole time. In the end it was all worth it, and I wish I could have our wedding day back, everything was amazing and I wouldnt change anything in the world that me and Brad have done together. Now my husband is gone and it has been so hard on me everyday. Im just trying to stay strong for me and him, I know he is doing this all for us, for our life, future our family. Just going from being by him everyday and living with him for over a year to not talking to him but once a week for a minute or two is so hard. I know its hard for him too because he doesnt have anyone, but me and all his family are so proud of him and he will be proud too on September 12th when he graduates and we will finally get to see eachother again!So this so far is my life , and my life is my husband and my family. So my husbands done with basic training and tech school. He came home November 22nd. earlier the expected =]. We currently are living in Georgia and our apartment is gorgeous. We have two crazy but lovable cats.Bella & Cloe. Brad work at Moody Air force base and I must say Im so proud of everthing he has accomplised. Its hard not being by my family considering how close we all are but at least Im not on the other side of the world. Only three hours away. I must say it has brought me closer to my brothers and sisters. We bond more. But as for my mom its really hard. She is my best friend in the world. I miss our monday and tuesday girly days. I always made sure to have off the same days she did so we can hangout. Well thats whats going on in my life right now. And I cant complain, I have a great husband family and inlaws and pets ofcourse. So Im happy and I look forward to what the future may bring. Dont get me wrong theres more to my life. I love to shop big time,i love makeup, tanning, going to the beach or just hanging out with friends but Im now going to live my life, and I know I will always have my family and Brad with me and will be there through it all, and my true friends will always be there for me no matter what happens.
Aiden will be here soon!
