Lately I've realized that all I have to do is look around to see the beauty in being alive. I wake up each day feeling like I have been blessed beyond any logical reason. I know I have. I married the most amazing man. My friends would be here for me any second of any day. Life throws its curve balls and it gives me roadblocks to find my way around, but the other end of that is this. When I make it around those roadblocks, when I find a way to turn the curve ball into something good, I end up happy. That's what it's all about. I have close to seventy days left of civilian life. I want it to be the best yet; and it will be with Derek and my friends and family by my side. I am happy. I love the chaos that is every day life. I love the way life molds me into who I am supposed to be. I love the way things fall apart and fall together so seemingly random. I can't wait to see where married life takes me. I can't wait to see what we will both learn from this. I hope we never lose what we have now; I just want to build on it and make it better-which seems impossible because it is already so perfect. This is what life is about.
