My life isn't turning out the way I had always planned. I hadn't planned on
falling in love with a guy in the military. I had planned on falling in love
with a hometown guy who was just an average person that I would wake up to every morning, but instead I have fallin' in love with an army boy who lives
on a base somewhere. I don't wake up to him every morning,
I just wait for the next phone call to come through, for the next letter or
email to arrive, and then I just wait. I wait for the day he will come home
to me. I wait to be in his arms again. Its been so long since I've felt his
touch I'm not sure how it feels anymore. I never planned on having to wait
and wonder when I would get that next kiss or hear the next "I love you
baby!" I had planned on getting that kiss and hearing "I love you baby!"
every night. I have learned to cherish everyday we spend together as it was
our last and I cherish every sweet kiss we share more than most do. I've
learned to make everyday count cause you never know when it could be your
last. I make every phone call the best it can be and hold to everything he
say's so i can get through until the next phone call. When you live in the
military world you never know what to expect you just live day by day. When
your a soldier's girl your world turns into an armyworld. You don't plan on
anything cause things can change in a blink of an eye. You just go with what
your soldier say's. The weird thing is that, all those years i spent planning
how I wanted my life to be, but my life is nothing like I had planned and I
wouldn't change a thing. I love my soldier and will continue to wait for him
to come home.

so true,
i think you learned a good life lesson..
life never sticks to "plan" and it shouldn't be wasted spending all that time planning, how boring would life be if just followed a plan...
you love who you love, and you can't do anything about it. You can fight it..or you can embrace it. In the scheme of things, the cosmos brought you together for some reason, all you can do is go for it. haha
oh man.
love makes us so crazy things.

OMG its to early in the day to be crying so much I just looked at the homecoming thread and then read this everything is hittin home all at once

I wrote out this quote in crayons (The Crayola box of State Colors) that were significant to Justin and I- cheesey I know. It's hanging above my light switch so I always see it.
It says:
"Forget the plans. Plan on being surprised."

That was really beautiful. I never planned on falling for a military man, either...and yet here I am. :-)

so true i never imagened spending a year away from my DH but i love him with all my heart and i like living the military life i stand behind him and support everything he does

that was so beautiful

Aww that was awesome and so true.. :(
Not making plans has been the hardest thing for me to realize, because I am a planner, I like to make plans and stick to them and now being with a guy in the military you cant do that.. and I love the quote u said christina!

I'm a planner too, well, not so much anymore :lol thanks to the Navy!
That was very touchy.
Love the quote too! straight to my book of quotes.
