My husband, My Soldier

Here is my Hero. My husband, my soldier. He is away in Kentucky finishing Officer Training. He is in the SC Army National Gaurd. When he is done, he will be a second Lieutenant. After that will come a long deployment.

I met the love of my life March the 28th, 1989. We were both freshmen at Clemson University. He was very dashing that night, even playing the guitar for me. He played a Spanish Lullaby for me which melted into my soul. Somehow I knew that we were destined to be together, come what may. We dated through college and then graduated, him in Physics and me in Nursing. We were married by my father on March 12, 1994 in the church I grew up in. Both our families were there, including all 8 of our grandparents. It was a great day and a great start to our marriage. Every day that we are together he shows me how much love can fill the human heart. He is my Rock, my support, my encourager, my confidant, my best friend. My life has only been better because he is in it. The way he loves me and our boys is a testament to unconditional Love. He stands firm in his convictions- from being a Christian, to Husband, to Father, to Army Leader. I thank God every day for the day we met.
