oh Christmas tree.

Our Christmas tree is beautiful.  I can't wait to decorate a tree with you, it will be beautiful and bring so much happiness into our home.  Next year you will be deployed and I will write you lots of Christmas cards to bring you a little bit of home.  Christmas this year will be great.  We will share with our families our last Christmas at "home".  I will sing in the choir at my church and you will sit in the congregation and listen to my beautiful voice radiating in your direction!  Oh, How Lovely it will be!  Christmas is supposed to be a season of joy, in the Glory of the newborn King!  This year, I can't wait for Christmas Eve because I know that we will be together, side by side.  (Maybe you'll even sing a Christmas carol with me!)  Tonight, I will go to bed thinking of you next to me rubbing my back as I fall asleep.  I will dream of you tonight.  I love you David.

welcome.

David, this is for you.  Remember back to the day when we were lying on my floor talking about dating?  Remember the saying "I want to date you, I don't want to live my life without ever knowing what it was like".  Wow, how funny it is that we have come full circle.  Now we are engaged and you are an Officer in the United States Marine Corps.  Life has gone by quickly for us, how our lives have changed together over the past year and a half.  Now it is time for you to start your career, get it rolling, which means, deployment.  I know I have told you that if I were scared it meant that I don't trust you and that I don't have confidence in you, that being true, I am scared.  You will deploy in less than a year, and out wedding have now been moved (unofficially) to June.  Yikes, 8 months!  I want to marry you, I don't want to live my life never knowing what it was like.  I want to experience everything about marriage with you.  I will never let you out of my mind, I will be with you every day and you with me.  Honey, I can't wait to begin the rest of our lives together.  I love you more than anything.
