2nd of all.. the begining.... So where to begin where to begin. Lets start off with my name. Cheyenne. I am 21 years old and I am a newly wed. I married a LCpl in the Marine Corps. He is my everything I wouldnt be where I am today if it wasnt for him... literally, I live in AK because of him. Im living with his parents untill he comes home from Afghanistan. Hes on his 1st deployment over there and it sucks
I feel bad for every spouse/fiance/boyfriend/girlfriend/child who has to go through this. This is the hardest thing I think i have ever endored. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, Our 1st thanksgiving as a married couple and I have to spend it without my mom and dad. Im here in AK spending it with my husbands family. Not that im complaining I love my in-laws, they are the funnest people ever and super super nice. I just really miss my fam and my husband. I have never been away from my family this long and I have only been gone for 3 months. Its really hard. I remember growing up I always got mad at my ex-boyfriends if they ever said that after high school they were going to enlist. I got mad because if we were still together I would want them to be close by me forever, I mean thats the point of being married is to be with that person forever, why would I want them to go away into the war? I didnt and I wasnt going to change my mind for anything, untill I met Zach, my husband. Man, everything changed as soon as I layed my eyes on him. WOW! He is such a positive influence on my life. Ever since we met nothing in my life has been the same. He has truly made me a better person and I love him for that, hes also not that bad on the eyes lol. Which really sucks when I go to get mad at him, he just looks at me with his big blue eyes and I melt... every... single... time. ARG! Isnt it supposed to be the girls who bats their eyes and gets everything that they want (lol)
Well back to the begining... The day we met. ok lets begin a few months before we actually met. My best friend Brit was dating a Marine named Austin that she knew from her hometown. She flew to NC, where he was stationed, so she could go to the military ball that he invinted her to. At the table was a few of Austins friends that Brit had never met, of course she striks up a convo with them, after 5 mins of talking to Zack she told him that she had the perfect girl for him, He was like... "oook, you just met me" well when Brit came home she didnt waist any time, she told me that she found a perfect guy for me to be with. I was like... "ok thanks?" we looked him up on facebook and I thought he was sooooo cute. I was dating a Jerk at the time so I didnt really do anything about it, I was positive that I was never going to meet him so there was no point in getting his number and talking to him. A few months later Austin was diagnosed with a brain tumor so Brit and I flew up to NC to spend the weekend with Austin to see how he was doing, little did I know Brit and Austin called Zack to see when he was going to come and visit him in the hospital to meet me. The hospital was 2 1/2 hours away from their base so Zack got a couple of his friends to drive up there with him. Zack kept asking what I looked like, if I was nice...ect no one told him anything. It was a completely blind meeting for him and I kinda had an idea of what he looked like but not really because the pics on myspace was post-Marine, shaggy hair, civilian clothes (a high school pic). So it was pretty much a blind meeting for me too. As soon as he came to the hospital, we met, we both couldnt stop looking at eachother. He said that my eyes and my smile was the 1st thing he noticed about me, and same with me, his teeth are sooo perfect and he has gorgous baby blue eyes that are to die for. after that it was history. He invited me to the movies the next night, then the day after that he drove Britt and I to the airport. Everyday since then we've talked every day. We met Jan '09, he flew to FL that feb for valentines day, and March of '09 he asked me to marry him right before he left to go over seas. Sept '09 we got married on his R & R from afghanistan. Its been so perfect.
I really really miss him. He got his shift changed so he gets off at 530a my time but his time its 6p and thats when alot of the guys get off so the phone lines are 3hours long . im used to him getting off at 12pm which is like 1130am and he got to call every other day because there wouldnt be a line so we could talk for an hour. It really sucks, I want to hear his voice. it keeps me sane to hear his voice and just knowing that hes doing ok makes me ok. I know I just have to stay busy, thats what helps me. I have 4 jobs so I have no time to think which is good bc when I think about it I get sad and quiet, and let me tell u, I am a veryr loud person. Im Italian so everything I say is very loud (lol) I always have somthing to say so when im sad everyone knows.
Well Ill write prob tomorrow! If not, Happy thanksgiving.
