Introduction

Hello Everyone! My name is Kait. My husband is in the National Guard. He left for Basic Training at Fort Benning on September 8, 2010. It has been six weeks since I have seen him, and its not easy. Let me give you a little background. My husband and I dated when we were sixteen for about 3 months. He told me he loved me and knew we would get married in the future. I broke up with him a couple weeks later. I was a strong willed girl with goals for my life- having a husband was not one of them. I was afraid of how much I was certain I loved him and decided being away from him was the only way to stick to my plan.  We stayed friends for the next 3 years. I knew I loved him and I told him from time to time during those 3 years, but we always just stayed friends. While I was away at college (October 2007), I got a call during my Literature class- it was Dave and he wanted to come visit me! He came to visit and from that time on we have been together! We got married in September 2009. We have had our share of bumps and bruises- some big, some small, but we made it through. We celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary right before he left for Basic Training.
