Letters From Home




I love my husband! One of the many reasons why...

I came home the other day to this amazing book! He compiled all the handwritten letters, motomail letters and cards from his last deployment and I had tears in my eyes from the minute I opened it. I knew that he saved everything, but seeing it all displayed like this really means a lot. This is definitely something I will cherish forever ♥ I feel like our relationship is as strong as it is today, in part, because of the deployments. You learn to appreciate the little things and ignore the trivial stuff. Communication was huge and our little moments here and there made every second that much more special. I also formed an amazing bond with my incredible in-laws during this time and I am very grateful for that ♥

The first page has the lyrics to Letters From Home, by John Michael Montgomery.



Some more pictures of what is inside...




(Apparently I was so excited to be writing the letter that I thought there was an "s" at the end of August? lol)

He even saved the "Happy Birthday" picture that the kids from my work made him :)




You have to know where you've been, to know where you're going ♥
