What a great story! I remember those "anticipation pangs" waiting for Charlie to come!! I met my husband while he was on training in AZ. He was stationed in Monterey, CA. He was here for 3 months and I think we instantly fell in love with each other. He went back to moneteray and I visited one time. Right after that he was offered a promotion to the pentagon. Like you can refuse that one!! He moved to DC and I of course stayed in AZ. I had an amazing job making close to 6 figures. Plus I had went to DC and it was just crazy!!! He spent the longest 4 years of my life there!!! Thinking back on it....I should of just quit my job...probably would of saved money in flights as it had gotten to a point where we had to see each other every month. He finally got another promotion and was able to finagle a position in AZ. We got married on New Years eve....moved in together the following July. We were here in Sahuarita for about 5 months when he got his orders to go to Iraq for 15 months. It was just the worst thing for me. I finally got my husband with me....and he gets sent away. ugh...... Well obviously we made it through...(knew we would) and he is home most of the time now. He still has to travel at times but not that often. It seems like a life time ago that I was in your shoes and let me tell you. Probably the hardest thing I ever had to go through. But if you can make that work.....you can make anything work. I do have to say there is nothing like how you cherish the time together when you live apart!
Fast forward to today...he leaves to go to work and I miss him.....lol
