So it's been a while

I just realized how long it's been since I actually posted anything here. Honestly not much has happened in our lives. We are over halfway through the year long deployment. I can't wait to have Reed back home and I know that he cant wait to come home. Mid-tour leave is coming up soon. We are both so excited and can't wait to finally be together again. For those who don't know we will be back in Texas. Neither one of us have made any real plans, except that we are flying into Lubbock. Reed will be home for two weeks and I will get there a few days before he gets there and leave a few days later. Alaska is beautiful. The snow has started and we have several inches covering the ground. Everyday I wake up, look outside and am constantly amazed by the beauty that surrounds me. Its amazing to me how much the deployment has strengthened our relationship. We have had lots of struggles and arguments, and I know that we will have more, but overall I feel like we are stronger. In our relationship we have overcome/endured so much, yet right now I feel closer to him than ever. That doesn't make sense, he's on the other side of the world, but it's true. Recently our conversations have taken on a much deeper level than just simple I love you and miss you. Anyways, I seem to be rambling so I'll be done for now and try to post on here more frequently.
