#6

Saturday, August 15th, was our 6th wedding anniversary. :) John has had his 2-week-long military duty (AT) going on this past week, though, so I was nervous that I'd spend the day alone and being pathetically sad. We've been stressing out trying to figure out what we are going to do about our living and working situations. John hasn't slept well and has actually been getting a little sick from worrying about it so much. Thursday one of his sargeants called him in, said he could tell something is on John's mind, and invited him to talk about it. While they were talking, John also mentioned that he had just learned he would be working until midnight on our anniversary, so his sargeant said he'd do his best to help John have the evening off.
So, Saturday I was getting ready to go shopping for groceries and John called my cell phone from the car on his way home! Joy hardly describes it. So, Johnny and I shopped together at Harmon's, my very favorite store based mainly on how nice the produce and meat always are there. We were able to pick up a nice thick lamb chop for a couple of dollars. I thought a lamb dinner would be lovely for our anniversary. However, after I finished making the pesto I got very dizzy and tired and sick; I'm hypoglycemic and was crashing pretty badly. I had to go lay on the bed where John quizzed me about what I had eaten that day. I realized all I'd had that day was a piece of banana bread and some string cheese! I had gotten so excited about John coming home that I neglected eating. *tsk tsk* So John bundled me into the car and took me to Village Inn where we had a surprisingly romantic dinner. The color came back to my cheeks and everything started to feel better. My Johnny always takes good care of me. And we had a beautiful lamb dinner last night. :)
Marrying John was the easiest decision I've ever made. I knew life wouldn't be easy. I also knew that I'd never loved anyone that much. And, though I didn't think it possible, I love him so much more now. We've hit our bumps in the road and thought we were down and out, but we've stuck together through it. He is the core of my soul. He makes me feel so beautiful. I'm looking forward to many more years together. =)
