Who ever said "All is fair in Love and War" was right. But how Fair is it to Be in love with someone who is at war? This just so Happens to be the predicament i am in. its the classic story of " They fell in love then He went off to War And...." i would fill in the blank but then there would be no point for me to start this blog. This is where the "And... " part comes into play, The middle and end of what i would like to think will be MY greatest love story starts here.
Let me start off by Introducing myself. My name is Courtney, i am 20years old (soon to be 21).
i Live in a small town in washington state. I work as a medical Assistant 5 days a week. I Love helping others and i take pride in what i do. When im not at work im usually at home with my "room mates " AKA: Mom, Dad, my 22 year old sister and my 3 dogs. I sometimes venture out of my oh so quiet italian house hold (sarcasm no italians are quitet) to go hangout with friends which i have few of, i have always lived by "all you need is a handful of good friends" kind of thinking and maybe thats because i have always had only a handful of good friends.
About 10 months ago i became ....i guess you could say "interested" in a boy named Tyler.
Tyler and i went to the same highschool and had the same group of friends but we didnt actually know eachother. At first, i will admit i didnt think i would take a liking to Tyler in the "im going to fall in love with you and marry you kind of way" or even in the "your going to be my future boyfriend" kind of way. when me and tyler first hungout what i really thought was...."WOW this guy is a redneck" or "i like country boys but, he might be a little TOO country for me". To Make a long story short i was VERY wrong! But not in the way you would think yes he sometimes does act like a redneck which is why his nickname in highschool was "RED" or the fact that he was a country boy , i was wrong because i fell in love with him. i was definitly scared to admit it at first especially because he had just gotten out of a 5 year relationship and because he "forgot" to mention he had joined the military 2 weeks before leaving for boot camp, but after us hangingout and talking A LOT i knew he was the "ONE" . Tyler is the BEST guy i have Ever dated or been with he is straight up and real, he isnt like other guys that most girls know as manipulative or unfaithful he is exactly the opposite with the good looks and sense of humor.
Tyler is a Medic in the army. our love for helping others is the same. i'll admit i wasnt the happiest girl when he told me he joined the military but i accept it, i thought that would be the hardest thing for me to hear but again i was very wrong. in the past 10 months Tyler and i have gone through a lot for being how young we are and considering the fact he hasnt even been in the military for a whole year yet. so far our hardships have consisted of: being together to being worlds apart, breaking up and seeing other people to getting back together, finding out he was getting stationed in korea, to us getting engaged and planning a wedding so i could move out of the country to be with him, to calling EVERYTHING off (which was my fault ill admit) , and now being back together. This whole Beginning experiance with the military has been an emotional roller coaster ride for both of us. since things are now a lot better between us i have decided to create this blog all about me, Tyler, and OUR Journey, Experiance's, and hardships living the military life. it isnt exactly the "american dream" but life is messy and i am a true beleiver that overcoming your hardships makes you stronger especially when you have someone to experiance it with.
love is a rollercoaster thats for sure!
