Hi ladies, my FI is in the military and we've been engaged for a little over a year. He was deployed to Iraq for 14 months back in 07/08 and it was so hard worrying about him all the time and missing him. When he came home last July he wasted no time asking me to marry him lol. We got engaged in August and have been lucky enough to be able to see each other alomst every month but I still miss him everyday. It's been worth it though and he's getting out of the military this week. He'll finally be home and I can drive him crazy with all my wedding plans lol.
You're all very tough women, I don't know if I could have handled being apart for much longer especially if he would have decided to stay in.
