My Husband is my Hero

As most of you already know.. The hubby is back home in the states!!!

Long story short: He arrived in Kuwait Tuesday night our time and was thrown in a van with some not so nice looking people and dropped somewhere at a crappy temporary housing complex. While he was there for 2 short nights, The Lord shined his light so bright on Adam that he simply could not ignore it. Things were not adding up over there and he was scared for his safety. Adam kept having visions of me becoming a widow at age 21 and this was not going to do for him. He turned around after less than 48 hrs of being there and came home to me and our pups! Okay so that wasn't so short, but y'all get the idea.

Even though this is not how WE saw things working out when Adam took this job, this is what HE had planned for us all along! The Lord knew that Adam needed this experience for a lot of reasons. Adam is a changed man and we both appreciate each other and our lives here in little old Wendell NC more than ever since he got home! I am so proud of my husband and I know that it took more courage for Adam to admit that he was not where he was supposed to be and face everyone after the fact than to stay there and know it wasn't right.

Sometime The Lord whispers, and sometimes He SHOUTS! Listen to Him- he will NEVER lead you astray!!!

Well...

Only two more nights with my husband at home.

If I could describe to y'all the feeling I have right now it's like this: when I have a big exam coming up in Nursing school I always just want it to hurry up and be exam day so I can get it over with, but then another part of me wants more time so I can be better prepared. That's what this feels like, I want it to hurry up and be the day he leaves so we can get it over with, but I want more time with him. There will never be enough time in the world that I get to spend with Adam- I love that man more and more every minute.

On another note- I'm starting a new life style change when Adam leaves. Notice I didn't say diet... More on that later, but I'm going to be doing Jamie Eason's "Live Fit" 12 week program. I will keep updates on here with that when I start it because I want to be held accountable!

That's all for now..

A week from today

Ill be saying not goodbye, but see ya later to my husband, best friend, and soul mate.

Yeah, I'm going to be sad.
Yeah, I'm going to cry (try not to let him see it though).
Yeah, it's going to be rough for a while.

..but none of theses things are things that we can't overcome- this is temporary, our love is forever.

Time to spill the beans

Now that all of our close friends and family know.. And Adam has cleared all of his paperwork.. I can share the news.

Adam has been selected for a private security contracting job overseas! I can't say where or what exactly he will be doing for security purposes, but he will be gone for a whole year.

I was shocked too when I found out, but I have known this is something he wanted to do since before we were even engaged! These jobs are not easy to come by seeing as how they require special security clearance with the government, but Adam has that since he was in the Marine Corps not too long ago! This is a wonderful opportunity for him and for our family!

Of course I'm going to miss my husband, but we are strong believers and our strength will come from The Lord, the distance can only make us stronger as a couple. I truly believe this is an honorable and courageous thing my husband is doing and I stand behind him 110%!!! We've had some people disagree with our decision to go forward with this, but I want to let everyone know we made this decision as a couple and prayed diligently over it.

So there ya go! I will be (trying) to keep up with this blog to document our journey and keep everyone updated on how Adam is doing while he is gone. Thank you for your support in this new and exciting journey!

Change

Hey y'all!

I've had several different blogs over the years, but I've never really been able to keep up with one.

My husband and I were married in May of 2012 and recently have been going through a lot of changes in our life. More news on those changes later...

I have decided to keep this blog not only for my own written record of these changes, but also to keep the important friends and family in our life updated on a regular basis!

(for those of you thinking it.... NO I'm not pregnant)

Keep reading for more updates!
