holy shit has it been forever. Makes me think I'm probably the only one who will see this from now on. I can live with that. In retrospect, I haven't chronicled enough of the last year or two for me to seem remotely sane.
so I'm married. Hell, I've been married for a couple months now. Did all of that seriously happen?
I'm not kidding. I often marvel at how lucky I am to have someone like kate as my wife. To have stuck with me through the ridiculous amount of shit that my being in the military has created... that alone makes her a saint.
its frustrating at times being married to someone you don't ever really get to see. You end up spending a lot of time on the phone, high school style. I can only imagine what its been like for her to sit up there waiting for me to get out of here; waiting for her life to finally start again. Its the kind of existence we agreed to, I suppose.
at this point its what I live for. Uninterrupted time with my wife, a couple days back home, see my cat. I don't ask for a lot. In less than three weeks, I'll have it. I've been here since 10 july, and I'll be hitting the road on 22 December... a day before my 25th birthday. The best birthday present I can think of is for kate and I to put some distance between us and biloxi, mississippi.
