What shall I call this?

Lord, 
Give me the greatness of heart to see, 
the difference between duty and his love for me. 
Give me the unserstanding so that I may know,
when duty calls he must go.
Give me a task to do each day' to fill the time when he's away.
When he is in a foreign land,
keep him safe in Your loving hand.
Lord, when his duty is in the feild, 
please protect him in the feild. 
And Lord, when his deployment is so long,
Please hold us close and keep him strong. 
Amen












That is the military wife's prayer. I originaly found it in AJ's, my husband's, bible that i gave him for our first aniversary when we were dating. But this is an edited version I found online and I believe I like it better.  It's helped me a lot these last 2 weeks we've been in Oklahoma. I'm 21(well fixing to be Juld 27th) and AJ is 22(Jan 4th), he's a year and some months older. We're originally from Alabama, Pell City and Cook Springs, 10 mins away from each other. To many hobbies to list. We now live in Oklahoma, and just got a dog named Riley. 


About us:
 AJ and I started dating in August of 2009, thanks to a mutual friends of ours (Thanks Dobbs), agging us on till we eventually talked to eachother. In He let me know right off what I was getting my self into dating a solider. At the time he was still in ROTC with his collage. He had gotten a scholorship through JROTC. We had many talks about it, mostly after I got off work. It was so sweet. He'd sit for hours some times waiting on me to get off. We'd talk while for hours after I got off too. And he'd stay talking for hours at my house, some times till 3 am. We never could say good by easily. In early December of 2009 I wrecked my car and AJ became my primary source of transportation along with my sister. And some time in March of 2010 he started staying at my house during the week amd weekeds with his folks. Aside from my work(and at the time collage) and his collage and hour away we spent very little time apart. In June/July he went to LDAC at Ft Lewis in Washington state. 28 days of torture.... He was only gone for 28 days but it felt like hell. We had never been appart for that long yet with no contact at all. I think it was 2 days after he arrived they took his phone away, and I was staying with my grandmother for a few days. I missed his last call for the and it really upset me because I thought that was the last time I'd get to talk to hm for a month. But they let the guys send out a few text and calls with address info and stuff later the next day. I went back to work the next day thinking up stuff to send him. For the first week and a half the time dragged by. THen after that it went be fairly fast because every 2 days or so I would get a letter and send him one as well. I eventuallly sent him some candies and stuff :) When it was finally time for him to come home I rode with his family to pick him up from the airport. We didnt let go of eachother for hours. It was a wonderful day. Then life went on. I quit my job, and finished out my math class. He went back to collage. In December of 2010 AJ proposed. Every one had me completely fooled. It was so romantic tho :) AJ told me he was spending the day with his mom, and my dad asked me to go geocaching with him, that a new one had been put up at the park in town and we wanted to have a first to find. (I showed AJ waht it was as a first date, then we went to a movie, www.geocaching.com) When we got to the park dad gave me the GPS and it was set to go to a pavalion. Weird to put one in such an open spot but I went with it. Out pops AJ and I'm sitting there windering what the heck is going on till he drops to one knee. I just then noticed the music. It was so sweet. I dont even think I said yes till a week later. When he gave me the ring I just jumped up and down and gigggled I Was so suprised. Then christmas came and went and new years. Upnext was graduation and comissioning. A huge day for AJ. With both our families we spent the day together.  I found another job and he found out where he was going to BOLC. Ft. Sill Oklahoma... Oh gosh it sound even farther away than it was.  We spent our time together as much as we could but he decided to move back to his parents house to spend the last 2 weeks with them as much as possible. With in those last few weeks before he left, AJ bought me a car, a 2000 Buick Le Saber, he also was able to get himself a 2008 Trail Blazer, thanks to a career started loan offered by USAA(greatest bank ever). It was weird driving again for the first time since 2009 I hadnt had a car since I wrecked mine. And we se ta date for the wedding. July 2nd was the day we picked since he would have a few days off for the 4th. The week before AJ left my grandmother threw him a going away party. And on May 22nd, there wasnt a dry eye from any of the family, mine and his. I spent the day other with his grandmother and little brother. I spent the rest of my time till 2 weeks before the wedding working, planning, and buying stuff for the wedding. Mom was a major player in getting the wedding done. 2 weeks before the wedding work decided to slam me with doubles every other day . I had already put in my 2 weeks notice but i decided not to finish out my last 4 days there so I could finish the wedding. We did almost every thing our selves. AJ's mentor from JROTC married us (his first wedding, tho he was a minister), the church was one I had grown up in. The cake came from a local lady I would recomend to any one, that cake was amazing, and on such short notice too. The photographer was last mininute, because ours ended up going back to Afganistan, and we ended up having a few issues with her, sorry no recomendations there.  The reception was a flop but no one cared. We just spent time with friends and family as much as we could. We had plans to leave the next day on the 3rd for Oklahoma since I would be going back with him. Had a little trouble with mom on that one but we worked it out. We stayed the night at a local hotel, then in the morning went to spend a few hours with family before leaving. Due to unforseen issues we didnt leave till well after 3 or 4. Unpacking and repacking since we couldnt get Uhal or rental car kinda sucked. I had to leave a lot of stuff behind. By 9 or so we reached Memphis, not a town I would recamend staying in from the part we drove through, we didnt get to see the pretty side :( And by 11 30 we were in Arkansas and looking for a place to stay for the night. We found some where in Forrest City, Ark.  When we went to the hotel and AJ went in to make sure we could get a room that late at night. I stayed in the car. When he came back out to get me he told me all they had were litle hole in the wall cruddy rooms. I didnt care I was so tired I just wanted to sleep by then.  We walked in and there was a giant glass wall fountain thing in the lobby and computers and a breakfast place. I was wonder how could this place be so cruddy if it was decoraited this nicely. But AJ said they put all the money into the lobby and I was so tired I didn't question this. We went up the three floors to our room and AJ opened the door. I couldnt see any thing till the lights were turned on. And man was I suprised when they were. The room was HUGE and there was a jucizie in the room!! I was so excited when I saw that. He said that he had found us a honeymoon worthy room, since all we had were those 2 nights together. I was speachless for a while... He's always taking care of me like that and spoiling me. Opening the car door, getting me stuff..... He's to sweet, but oh so annoying some times lol. We started out the next day bright and early and well rested. We made good time and got to the apt by 3ish the next day July 4th. We got every thing unpacked from the car then did nothing for the rest of the day. We just wanted to spend time together since he had to report back the next day, and get back into the swing of class/work. 


And so started my time here in Oklahoma. I've been here since July 4th and it is now the 21st. I still havent learned my way around town but I can get to wal mart and the pet store just fine XD and the movie theater is right down the road. I can get TO post but once I'm there I'm lost. I've still got to learn that so I can meet AJ for lunch some times. That would be so nice on the days he can't make it home because class runs long. I'll tell you about my 2 weeks here so far later. Right now I'm sitting on the bed typing and falling asleep on the keyboard lol....
So good night for now. TTFN ta ta for now as my dear friend Tigger would say.
