One week later

A little over a week ago we experienced the hardest thing we had ever gone through. So you would think we would be doing bad or not so good. Well that is not true. Derrek and I are doing great as a couple. Emotionally we are both still trying to move on from all of this and the great loss that we expereienced. We know it will take time and we are allowing that time to help us heal and come to terms with it all.
But as far as our marriage goes...I think we are better than we have ever been. It is as if we are where I have always dreamed to be. Obviously we hate being away from one another!!! But we connected in ways we had never connected before. He loved me in ways he had never before, but the ways I have always wanted. AS hard as that week was it was great too. I know that is hard to understand, but the strength we have now is more than we ever could have imagined. This situation tested us and our love, and we proved we love one another more than we each thought!

We are now trying to get through a couple more months of being a part! That is harder than it has been before. But we will do it becasue in the end we will have on another. We will have a whole month devoted to us!! We are use to having our marriage be second right after his job as a soldier. Well for the month of May, we can be first! And we are taking advantage of that. We are looking into a romantic trip in the Pocono Mtns in PA!! We are so excited because it will be like the honeymoon we never had. It is a little early for our two year anniversary, but close enough. The army only gives you certain time so you take it when you have it. We are hoping for soem good taxes back so that we can use it for our trip! It will not be cheap but we deserve it and they provide 50% discount for military! So we are stoked beyond belief! Well wish me luck as I attempt to do our taxes myself online this week!! :-)

XOXO,
Megs and Derrek
P.S. no pictures anytime soon as the camera broke last weekend. Just to add to the things we were experiencing the camera was cracked too, thank God I have a birthday in a little over a month!

It's so comforting to me to hear that you guys are doing great! Like I said the other day, it would be such a different story is Derrek wasn't who he is! I'm happy for you guys!!!!! And I love this new positivity!
