Better When We're Together

The past six months have been a whirlwind experience. At the end of February of this year, Will and I broke up. It was my choice a choice that I felt like I had to make. We moved down to South Florida two years ago this summer because he was hoping to get hired by one of the police departments little did he knew that it would be one of the hardest things he has had to do. He tried alot at first when we got down here. Then this past year he has tried less and less. Seeing the man you love get so down and bummed out because he can't get hired and provide is a VERY hard thing to deal with.

I tried to push him and keep him motivated but it was something he had to work out himself. I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make him go fill out applications and look for openings. He had to WANT it and he didn't. During the first year of us dating he put on some weight so all of this was weighing hard on him. When I left it wasn't easy. I wasn't leaving him because I didn't love him, I left because I wanted him to see that he needed to do something to get out of this funk he was in. Anyways after a long five months and him deciding to join the Marines we are back together!! Things aren't perfect but in what relationship are things perfect? What makes it perfect is the time and engery the couple puts into making the relationship perfect. But I feel as long as we are together everything is better. We are stronger when we are together than we are apart. :)

I am so proud of him and all the hard work he has done to be in the best shape and be the BEST Marine he can be. He will be leaving for bootcamp on September 4th and it is going to be hard to be without him for three months but I know this is what he wants and I am more than happy to stand by his side while he reachs his goals and dreams. The best part about the military is they take care of their spouses, yes spouses, we have talked about getting married. Even if we are married or not married my career is one that I can start anywhere. When he is finally done with all his training in March or April he will get stationed to a base and I can't wait to start our lives together. We have talked about this and dreamed about it for a long time. Its so amazing to see how much has changed and how stronger we have become over the past five months. I don't ever want to be without him again. I'm so thankful to have him in my life.

So now I am doing all I can to prepare myself to be a Marine girlfriend and one day wife. <3
