First Thing:
Nate told me tonight that he loved my family. Not loved as in liked a lot, but loved as in they are his family too. He said, "I love them in my heart". What a nice boy.
Tonight we toasted to the Piper Pit. That is where our life began. I remember playing footsie when he told me he liked me. I remember taking our first pictures together as a "couple" there, right before he left for Kentucky.
While we toasted, I was trying some Beringer White Zin sparkling wine. I highly recommend it. Espeically for Valentine's Day.
I know this is cheesy and no one actually believes it, but I've come to believe it's true. I believe I have fallen more in love with Nate. I love him more today than the day we got married. I love him more today than the day he proposed. I love him more than the day I said, "I agree". I know it sounds totally dorky and like I belong in an LMN movie, but I am sincere. Being married to him is just about the greatest adventure I could embark on.
Second Thing:
Sometimes I still tear up or cry when I hear about military homecomings from overseas. The Coming Home preview on Lifetime made me cry. I was remembering what it was like to have Nate gone and what it was like when he came home. Although when I initially saw him step into the airport, I didn't feel a rush of emotion. However, thinking back on that moment I feel a lot more emotion. Perhaps it's because I know that I will have to go through all of it again, only this time we'll be married. No big deal, though sometimes I cry.
[I would like to say that just because my husband is in the military and has served overseas and will serve again (though, hopefully not), I am not a military wife. I am the wife of a man in the military. It does not define me. I do not want to be dramatic. I am not reaching for someone to call me brave. I love my husband and I love his uniform. I love my country and I love his defense. But my identity does not come from his choice to serve and what follows.]
Third Thing:
Weddings make me happy. Especially weddings of best friends. Today I celebrated the sexy part of marriage at a bachelorette party for a dear friend and had so much fun. I can't wait for her to marry the man God has chosen for her.
Fourth Thing:
Tomorrow I am going to try and find a souffle to enjoy.
You should too.

It makes me cry too, and if you remember I (unexpectedly) cried when I saw Nate for the first time after Iraq. Also, you already know my feelings about being a "milwife"
One last thing. I love Nate too, in my heart.
And that's saying a lot because you can remember how our relationship started out..
