"& there you go, making me fall in love again"

Today marks 1 month since Derrick left for basic training and on top of that excitement, I received two very long letters in the mail! This whole process has been tough, but reading his letters on top of the weekly phone calls really makes me fall in love all over again. We have 6 weeks to go, and then I will be on a plane to Missouri! I'm so very thankful with how quickly time is passing by. It's the start of a new life for the both of us, and I couldn't be more ready! Oh yeah! Sundays are his days to make phone calls home. This Sunday was SUPER special because I got to see him!!

Ah, I love him so much!

As hard as being a military spouse may be in the future, I honestly believe that I am one of the luckiest girls alive. I love this man with everything I have!

Here's to the start of something new!

I'm a new blogger, but I want (and hope) to get good at this. Only time and practice will help, right? Well for anybody who visits my new blog, I will inform you of a few things in my life right now.

To begin with, let me introduce myself. My name is Niki and I currently live in Conyers, Georgia. I work part-time, I attend school, I have the most amazing family and the only thing missing from my life is my man.

Derrick and I have been together for 4 years. He recently enlisted in the United States Army and he is currently away doing his Basic Training and AIT School. We will be getting married in April of next year and it couldn't possibly come any quicker. As we move around and start our own life, this will be my way of updating people with exciting news, stories and updates in our everyday lives. I have already met an amazing group of Army wives and girlfriends, and I only hope for that group of ladies to grow! 

I'm always up for conversation or meeting new people!

Hopefully this blogging thing is a success! :)
