30 B4 30

With 2011 just a few days away now, I have been thinking a lot about the future and whats in store. We will be finishing out our 2ND deployment, I'll turn 25 in April and Gabe will turn 28 in May , we will be married for 4 years come November and will make our 2ND big move as a married couple back to the mainland. A lot has changed over the last 4 years being with Gabe and I have grown so much closer to him and we have become so much stronger as a couple.
Our life in the Army living in Hawaii has opened my eyes to a whole new world and shown me things & taken me places I never could of imagined possible. As I look forward and think about the next big milestone in my life......turning that is. I want to make the BEST out of the next 5 years and our future together.
