Zach will be here in 29 short days, well at least start traveling here in 29 days! I can't believe it! Everything has changed so drastically over the past 7 months that he's been in Iraq. This leave time will be well worth it though!
The other day one of my mom's friends asked me if I thought Zach and I were moving too fast. I know it's just out of his concern and love for me, but I was a little offended. I guess until you've been through what we have and have been through the growing experience that the military forces you to go through you can't understand it. I also know that Farrell saw me go through one of the worst times in my life and feels somewhat protective to keep me from dealing with it again. I do know though that this is it. This is real. What we have makes us unstoppable.
I guess people don't realize that even though we've been apart more than 1/4 or even 1/2 of our relationship, it only makes us stronger. Distance is to love much like wind is to a fire. It will blow out a candle, but only increase a bonfire :)
Zach will hopefully only have 6 weeks once he returns to Iraq from leave until they start heading home. It's so time! I can't wait to get started on forever with the man of my dreams!
