Two Weeks!!

In two weeks I am quitting the only “adult” job I’ve ever had, condensing all my belongings into two suitcases, and moving myself and my two cats from Dallas, TX to Hawaii to join my new husband and embark on a new adventure of marriage, Army wifedom, online grad school, and who knows WTF else! Eeeek!

First, a little background. I met my husband Bill at his sister’s (and my best friend) Jess’ wedding five years ago at the end of 2011. I felt a connection, but to say the timing was off is an understatement (I was very newly separated from my first husband and Bill was about to be stationed in Korea). We added each other on Facebook and left it at that. I couldn’t quite get him off my mind though (and it didn’t help that Jess kept telling me we were perfect for each other like ALL THE TIME). In April of 2013, out of the blue, he sent me a message over Facebook to the extent of “hey how’s life treating you,” and we just never stopped talking since. We’d spend hours everyday chatting on Facebook, then hours of Skyping every weekend. He eventually got stationed in Hawaii, and we started making plans to see each other IRL.
