Okay, now that Spaces is letting me post blog entries, here we go…
Today marks the 5 year anniverasary of the day that Samantha and I started dating. Many people have voiced their opinions and doubts that I never listened to. At the time I’m sure that many people thought I was being foolish and that something like what Sam and I had could never last. I was just following my heart
These people should be eating their feet with this milestone! Five years of listening to people’s "concerns" and we are still here, more in love than ever.
I can’t thank God enough for the clarity of heart and mind he gave me to find someone that I know that I will be able to hold on to for many years to come.
The last five years have been a series of emotinal roller coasters for the both of us. We have dealt with more time apart than we have had together, We have been separated by my career decision and the war I am participating in. We have been through more than the average couple for any age group, by and by proving our steadiness and maturity in dealing with the hard times that love has thrown our way.
I can’t say that there arent rewards to this, though. The milestone of five years together and the love we continue to share and the support we give each other even from thousands of miles away is worth all of the emotional lows and heart panging hard times.
I am on my second tour in Iraq, and Samantha has been faithful through the betterest of times. For that my love, I thank you!
I quite often truly believe that I haven’t done anything to deserve the true and unconfitional "I love you anyways!" love that we share, but we have it, and there is nothing that would convince me to give it up.
Happy Five years Samantha! I will love you always.
