Hi everyone! Well, I am new to the blogging world, as you can probably tell from my blog soooo far! Don't worry, I'm sure I will catch on soon and I will def. customize more later... I have been reading so many peoples stories on here the past week, I just wanted to jump right in! I have so much to say, I don't even know really where to start, but here I go....
So, a little about myself. My name is Tiffany, I am 25 years old, and I am slowly, but very surely falling in love with a soon to be sailor. Our story. We met years ago, we use to work together. I never thought twice about him then, he was like 17 and I was 22. We were friends and both were in relationships. He was still in high school, dealing with the high school drama, and I was in college dealing with the college drama. I left that little town in the middle of my last semester of college when my live in boyfriend and I broke up...we tried to live together broken up, yea that DOESN'T work, lol. Eventually other girls started to come see him and we made each other miserable. So I left town and moved to another city and created another life. Fast forward nearly two years. So I was on facebook a couple of months ago, and B. popped up and asked me if we could hang out one day when he got to visit home from the Navy. (He was leaving for basic in two weeks or so). I didn't think twice about it really, but I was like "Sure, sounds great!" lol, and that's how it all started. We exchanged phone numbers, a ton of text messages, and hours of late night hours on the phone before he left for basic. He also came to visit me, we went to see a movie and he never let go of my hand... The night before he left for Chicago, he actually had to spend the night in the city I live in...his hotel was about 5 min from my apartment, so we got to see each other that night too...suddenly there were butterflies where there use to be nothing. I was freaked, but strangely happy.
Since he has left, I think I have written him everyday. Every Wednesday I can't wait to get a letter from him...he graduates soon and will be going to A school in South Carolina, so at least we will get to talk then, although I have enjoyed writing him letters and getting letters! I miss his voice... I was hesitant to do this blog, I don't want to jinx us...but we've talked and I think this is going to go far. We just feel that God has a hand in me and him meeting again...there's a reason for everything. I have read so many blogs about women married to men in the military and I have to admit, before this, I had never really thought about that before. I had never thought about being married to a military man, living the military life...so the past week I started doing a lot of research and what I have found is this whole network of women who support each other, who are there for one another...women who have become friends. I guess I am just trying to prepare myself as much as I can for this lifestyle that I may very well be living in the next year or so... I know this will be hard and I know that I will miss him so much when he's working. I have talked to a lot of my friends about this and they think I am crazy. It's not a life many women want, and B. has told me numerous times that he would understand if I chose to walk away and find another man to love who can be there for me all the time. But, i've thought a lot about it and our connection is getting stronger everyday that passes...and I would , hands down, rather live in a world where I would get to have him some of the time, than live in one without him in it at all...so I have made my choice and I stand by it and I will stand by my Sailor through his career...it's just beginning and it's going to be one heck of a ride, i'm sure, but i've got my seatbelt on and i'm ready!
