So.. I guess I should tell a little about myself first..
My name's Cyndi. 22. from a very small town in West Virginia. currently in college but I'm about to drop my classes.
My boyfriend (Martin) is 7 hours away in the Army at Fort Campbell, KY.
I've known him for over a year. We were always good friends, but he had a girlfriend for awhile so I never really thought about being with him. He worked at Applebees beside of where I worked (EB Games!) and he used to come in and hang out on his lunch breaks and such. He was good friends with my co-workers.
I remember the day he left for Basic.. he randomly showed up at my apartment to tell me he was leaving, and I felt like he wanted to say more than what he said. That was in August. I didn't hear from him again until October. He emailed everyone to say he was doing alright and that was that.
and then one day before Thanksgiving, I get a call from him. We talked for awhile.. he said he was coming in for a few days. He came to my apartment with a mutal friend and I knew the moment I saw him that something was different. I saw him once more before he left that time and neither of us ever said anything.
After he went back to KY, he started calling me everyday.. 3 or 4 times a day. He called me one night a few days before he was coming in for Christmas and told me that he had always been attracted to me and always "liked" me but never had the nerve to tell me. We started talking constantly. He came in again for Christmas and that's when things took off.
I had a party for him with all of our friends here.. he got pretty drunk. He ended up in my bed early that morning (nothing happened!) and we just slept. It was wonderful being close to him. I was so afraid that he didn't feel the same.
I had just ended a very bad relationship and I was terrified to care about anyone else, but something about him just felt right. We spent a lot of time together while he was in for Christmas. He spent a few nights at my apartment, if you catch my drift. :)
He called me the morning he had to catch the bus back and I met him at the bus station. I waited there with him for an hour until the bus came. He hugged me..picked me up off the ground. I kissed him. and let him go.
I cried my eyes out. I knew then that I had to make him mine.
So he calls me about 7 times on the bus ride home.. starts calling me everyday.. talking online all the time. Things progressed quickly after the visit.
He made things official about a week later. and made me the happiest woman alive!
He came in for a four day weekend last weekend and he rode the bus 10 hours here and back just to spend two days with me. it was AMAZING. I haven't felt like this in years.. about anyone. I had given up on finding love like this. He gives me renewed hope in life.. gives me a purpose. I can't even recall a time when another person has made me feel like this.
Watching him get on that bus last weekend was one of the hardest things I have EVER done.
I talk to him everyday but its still hard. and my friends just don't understand. I cry randomly throughout the day. I can't stand seeing couples together in public. I just miss him so much it physically hurts.
We've decided to get married before he leaves to go to Iraq in August. I couldn't be happier.
I know it's going to kill me when he goes. I'm trying to prepare myself for it, but is there really any way you can prepare yourself for that?
I'm leaving my apartment and dropping my classes to move to KY with him next month. and I have no doubts at all.
I know I'm doing the right thing. This apartment isn't home without him and I feel like he is where I belong.
So.. that is my story. Sorry it turned into a giant novel post! :)
