There is something you should know!

I LOVE my wife!!! Sometimes we say I love you but I dont think she really understands just how much I really do Love her! Love is so very hard to explain after all, and the degree to which one loves is even more impossible to explain so how do we get around this? I have decided that the only way to solve this issue is to show that person just how much you love them and what they mean to you. To show my wife just how much I love her there are many things I do for her, but the most important thing I can do for her is be there, when she is happy, sad, mad (the time when you want to not be there the most), tired, and when she thinks her world is going to end. Just be there. I am slowly learning that most of the time it doesn't even require words, just be there; so to my wife I would just like to say, I love you and no matter how happy, sad, mad, tired, and when you think your world is going to end, I will be here. I cannot put into words how I feel about you... however the first verse of the following song pretty much sums it up.

I would gladly walk accross the desert with no shoes upon my feet to share with you the last bite of bread I had to eat, I would swim out to save you in your sea of broken dreams when all you hopes are sinking let me show you what love means.

The intro is a little long but it is a great song.





I love you wife!

A Timeline

My Dearest Love

You have no idea how happy I am that God brought us back together.  We drifted apart, but partially I think we both had to go make our "mark" on the world.  You left yours on a wall in Afghanistan and I wrote mine in the beaches in Costa Rica.  We took very different paths from each other but it's so strange how we wound up back together.

I know there are times when the "what if's" in life fall into our heads or pangs of jealousy even take over (yes I said it), but at the same time we're strong as individuals but we're stronger as a team.  Never let those things rule our lives and I'll try my best too.  Sometimes I fall and I need you to help pick me up and guide me back on path, and I believe it's ok to ask for help.  Can't maybe died in the corn patch, but needing help sure didn't!

I love you more now than the day you proposed to me.  And we've had our struggles as every married couple do, but let's stay on track with each other by our side!

Love,
Cole

New Beginnings

I first met the love of my life in Jr. High School. We were close for a short period of time and then we drifted apart (Mostly because I am an ID10T). We both went our separate ways, went on with our lives for about 10 years. I spent most of that time feeling like something was missing, I didn't know what... but something was missing. I did a tour in Afghanistan in 2008 and 2009, and when I returned I was unsure of where I was going. a few months after my return I would get a facebook friend invite that would change my life forever. I received a friend request from this lovely girl from high school (who coincidentaly I had a pretty huge crush on in high school) and I was so excited I almost couldn't figure out how to accept it. I finally did and began perusing around her pictures and such trying to see how she was doing and what she was up to. I assumed since she was such a great girl she would already be married have kids... etc. A few minutes later she sent me a message and we began to talk back and forth on FB, which lead to texting and even talking on the phone. I learned she was not married, had no kids, and had just ended a long term relationship. I have to admit part of me was a little giddy to find this out. You have to understand I was SOOOOOOOOOOO excited to be back in touch with her. I had thought about her several times over the years and it was almost like a dream come true. Soon I finally got up the courage to ask her out the next time I was going to be in town. Fortunately she had other plans, and wanted to invite me to go with her. I was soo excited and nervous. We went to dinner in Springfield to a restaurant called Touch. We spent the whole evening in each others company, then at 3 AM we had our first kiss and by the end of that night I knew...... she was the love of my life.

More to come but for now I hope whoever you are and wherever you are that you have someone you can love and share your life with that is as special to you as my Cole is to me.

Sincerely,

Prince Charming
