Seven Years, Really?...

Seven years ago, yesterday, my hubby and I met.  This picture was taken a week later,  the day before he left for Iraq.  

We lay in bed last night recounting the events of that week.  I don't know what this man was thinking when Miss C, baby C then, and I burst through my parents door.  What would make him want to pursue me, a single mom?  He doesn't know either.  He said, "I don't know, I just knew I had to."

The next year was the hardest year.  Little did we know it would prepare us for a marriage of separation.

I love you Honey!
