Anniversaries and Postpartum PT
DH and I are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary today. Six years ago I became a military spouse. I didn’t marry a man who was already in and settled. We did what many military couples do – got married at a courthouse on graduation weekend. I drove 1700 miles from California to Missouri to see my husband for the first time in ten weeks and hightail it on over to the courthouse. I wouldn’t do it any other way. Sure, we didn’t get a wedding night (curfew mandated that he return to the barracks) or a honeymoon, but its simplicity made it so meaningful for us. The military’s had its hand in our relationship ever since, separating us for months and years at a time. When it’s worth it, you make it work and you find a way. Here’s to six more years, and beyond!

Good luck! My first PT test after my son was born was as rough as my first honest PT in Basic Training- B R U T A L. Then again, I did not really work to get back in shape… LOL… somehow, with angels carrying me, I am sure, I passed. I have a feeling you will do just fine! (and I love your wedding photo!!!)
