WOW Where has the time gone! Lets rewind

WOW I cant believe how long it has been since I have blogged... It's a shame how much you have missed and I am sad that I didn't create a timeline of events because I am sure i will miss something.... Well, to catch you up a bit I am now Mrs Kellie Waite... And have been for over a year now. But lets rewind a little bit...

To catch you up, I created this blog as almost a journal to get me through the tough deployment that my boyfriend and I were going thru. It was crazy tough and we pulled away from each other for a while then reconnected. He came home July of 2014 and I flew up to Fort Drum NY and surprised him. It was so nice to see him! It was a crazy weekend, we stayed at a hotel and had to do 10 things to get him back on track because he had been out of the country for so long... He had to get his stuff out of storage, vehicle inspection, new tires, move back in to the barracks and many, many other things. It was a stressful time but we pulled through it... I went home after a very brief visit and then he came to NC where i lived on block leave. My dad and Shay had a important conversation of where our relationship was going----> I found this out a little later on... Shay had received orders to be stationed in Hawaii and we all knew that would be almost impossible to have a relationship 3+ years and fly 4600 miles back and forth to see each other. The last visit we had we were heart broken. We went on a cruise together. The hub had never cruised before and picked Royal 
 Caribbean's Largest ship in the ocean to go on. We decided our future in so many words on the trip and then in Nov of 2014 we were married. We got married on a 4 day weekend. 

Its OFFICIAL

My dad signed off on the marriage because he is a pastor and then we drove as fast as we could back to the courthouse to get our official copy that declared we were indeed husband and wife. Immediately after, myself, Kol our son and Shay drove to Fort Jackson SC to get my military ID and to be added to DEERS so my husband could get his orders amended to include myself and my son so that we could PCS (move) with my husband. 

It was prob the most stressful time in my life! Shay had to have his orders amended before christmas leave because he wasnt going back to Drum, he was to report to Hawaii January 9th 2015. Fort Bragg NC moved me and Fort Drum moved him. Our orders were amended and we were on our way...
