I'm such a lucky girl....and when I say lucky, I'm truly lucky.
I have learned a lot throughout the time James and I have been apart due to his heroism, sacrifice and bravery for our country.
For one...James is my best friend. I never thought in my whole life, I could ever find a love like ours. To know that he is not just my husband but also my best friend, is the best gift I could ever receive.
Everyday I wake up and roll over wishing I could fling my arm or leg around him.
He is my security every time he's with me. Whether were driving in the car and a pan-handler is reaching through my side of the car for change, (that did REALLY happen) while James is yelling at him to "back away" in English and the homeless man only speaks Spanish. Or, he is making a wooden door guard out of 2x4's for me to stick under the door handle for when he is gone training for weeks or a month. He always makes sure I am taken care of. Whether he is protecting me, or just wrapping his arms around me.
We love to get in the car and just drive. Grabbing our camera's and just going is one of my favorite things to do with him. We rarely have a set destination, but we find fun in wondering where we will end up. And we always have tons of pictures when we get back. (Well he does, because I am somehow camera illiterate and can't take good pictures like he can. HELP!)
It's amazing how he is so far away, and can still put a smile on my face everyday we are apart. It doesn't matter if its through an email, instant message, or a phone-call. I'm always left smiling for the rest of the day. It's so comforting to answer the phone to him on the other line. I never knew I could love an email, instant message or phone-call so much.
I've also realized how true the saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder" is. Everyday I miss him more then I did the day before. And that's a lot. That's like all the miles it takes to get all the way around the world times a million. I never knew I could miss somebody so much. Especially when minutes feel like days and days feel like an eternity to get through. But ya know, its the little things James and I have been through or done together, that get me through everyday. All I have to do is look back at the memories we have already made together, and it keeps me pushing through and staying strong. I'm surrounded by our pictures all the time.
He's always with me, no matter how many miles, bodies of water, or continents stand between us. I love that I can lay my head down at night, and even though he is not here, he is STILL the last person I see and kiss before I go to bed (and yes, I kiss my picture frame).
I LOVE YOU J-DUB. :)

That's one of the little things I have always taken for granted, but now realize how important it is to me.
