Home Is Where His Boots and Dog Tags Lay

My husband and I met in the 9th grade. How or when neither one of us can remember. We can name other individuals in our class that yet we cannot remember each other. It wouldn't be til 11th grade that we both started realizing how much we cared for each other. All 10th grade my husband would make fun of me. I honestly thought he was a mean guy. It wasn't until I became single that he really showed me who he really was. The summer before our senior year in high school he asked me to be his girlfriend. I went to Germany 3 weeks prior and before I left he gave me 21 letters. One for each day I was there. When I came home it was 4th of July. My husband gave me one more letter and at the end of it, it said he had something important to ask me. That night under the fireworks he has me to be his girlfriend. My husband and I dated 3.5 years before he left for bootcamp. The month before he left we broke up. We still kept in touch and talked all the time. A month into him leaving he asked me to be his girlfriend again. On the day of his graduation for bootcamp, he proposed to me on the parade deck. It was the greatest surprised I could have asked for. This past December we got married. Our wedding was on New Year's Eve and after 4.5 years I was finally married to the man of my dreams and the perfect guy for me :)

Behind every MARINE there is a girl. She is always with him in heart & soul. She goes through everything that he goes through. She feels his pain, his sorrow, his joy, his longing and his devotion. For every minute they are apart, her heart aches. But she smiles. She is a model to other girls. They watch her and wonder, How does she do it? She is the picture of everlasting love & fidelity to her MARINE♥
