How did I get here? Part I

My "starter" marriage happened when I was very young: 21 years old (too young for me anyway). I was divorced by age 23. I don't regret it; I think I did most of my growing up during that time. I was serving my country far away from home, he was also serving 2,000 miles away from me during our first year of marriage. It was a challenge and ultimately we realized that it could not work. 

For the last 8 years, I've been enjoying life while still in the military, traveling and dating...Dating is not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. Dating is like riding a roller coaster after you eat your favorite lunch. You are looking forward to it but you know there is a high possibility that it will not end well. I dated for 8 years and I can confirm that they were truly up and down. In fact, last year I truly started thinking that I was getting so used to living the single life I thought it would be nearly impossible to ever live with anyone again.

Well, let's just say that just when you think it's not going to happen...it does....more to follow.

I'm an encore bride. I had my starter marriage at 20 and was divorced by the time I was 23. Best decision I ever made. I stumbled on my husband accidentally and have been completely happy ever since. Love the blog, I'm here from SITS, I'll def be back ;)
