4 years ago today, I married my best friend. We have been through so much in the 4 years prior to that, and the 4 years since. My thoughts inevitably turn to what the next year of marriage will bring. It will bring mostly seperation. With less then a month to deployment now, reflecting on how much I love my husband also makes think about how very much I will miss him while he is gone. He will be deployed for our 5th anniversary, but will be less than a month from coming home, and that thought makes me smile.
I love my husband so very much, and he makes me feel loved in a million little ways every day. Happy anniversary, Tyrone.
Tyrone & Bailey
Tyrone and I met when I was 17....I was a waitress at a diner and he was the cook. He was kind and handsome, and before I knew it, I was in love! We started dating a few months later and NOW! Now we have been married for almost 10 years, together for over 13. The Army has taken us MANY places, and now we find ourselves at Fort Bliss, in El Paso, TX.
Kaleb
Kaleb is our oldest child! He is a most excellent big brother. He is the constant playmate/rival of his brother, and the president of his sister's fan club. Kaleb is so smart, helpful, and caring that it blows my mind! He is a month away from being 14, and is responsible, loving and TALL! At last measurement, he was 2 inches taller than me (his mom.) Yesterday, he had to bend down to kiss the top of my head. What a blessing this kiddo is....teenage boy baggage included!
Gabriel
Gabriel is a live wire! Such an interesting mix of big & little. He is quite the cuddle bug, a momma's boy, and the most intense of our children. He is happiest when in motion and can scale a rock wall in an instant. He is diagnosed with ADHD and that hasn't stopped him for a second! He is smart, scientifically inclined, and a light for us all. He is the first to enlighten us with new facts about space, elements, and all kinds of random facts. He is struggling with 6th grade, but smiles through it all. Gabe is an amazing boy.
Shiloh
Shiloh
My Shiloh-girl. She has a heart for everything that moves! Don't you dare squish that bug! She is smart, kind, and a people pleaser. She is happiest welcoming people to our home and loves nothing more than encouraging others. She is picking up the quickest of all of us on Hispanic language and culture, and has made fast friends with non-English speakers here, at our new home. She is our light, our joy, our reminder that good is all around us.
Emmeline
Emmeline
Emmeline Lily, or Emme, has changed our lives so much. She is smart, demanding, and loving. Her moods are mercurial, challenging all we thought we knew about parenting. But her love, and her intelligence, are above reproach. She is rocking Kindergarten, and doing much better than her mommy with the separation. She is intense, she is smart, she is strong, she is gentle. She is Emme.

Happy Belated Anniversary to you both! Your story is beautiful!! Tyrone I want you to know that even though we are all the way down here in Texas if Bailey needed anything while you are gone, we would go to the moon and back to help her or be there for her. God Bless you Tyrone, thank you for the sacrifice you make, and may God wrap a hedge of protection around you and bring you home safe and sound. And may the time goes by fast for the both of you.
Love and blessings, Kristy
