During the three-year long-distance relationship between my husband and me, it was really a series of long-distance relationship quotes that helped us feel hopeful.
Back in 2008, he was my boyfriend at the time. I was living in Wisconsin working as a critical care nurse and he was working in North Carolina as an Active Duty Marine.
At the time, we weren’t really sure how our lives would merge or if we would ever move to the same state.
(…or if I would ever stop being a military girlfriend and become a military wife.)
We spent a lot of time apart in the United States, but we also spent a lot of time apart while he was deployed overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan.
