What is your marital status?

We started dating in April of 2006 when I was finishing up my senior year of high school. His mom had just kicked him out of the house, for reasons still unknown to us, and started staying with me and my mother. In July of 2006 he had to go to Arizona for a border patrol mission that lasted 3 months. It had been our longest seperation. About a few weeks before he was coming home, he found out that he was on the list to go to Iraq. We became scared and decided it was time to get married. He came back the first week of October and we waited a couple weeks to tell my mother we were engaged. Our original plan was to get married the week before Christmas, but after a lot of contemplation, we decided that because of all the papers and stuff we would have to get straightened around, to get married November 18, 2006, just a little over 3 months ago. My mom helped us plan a small, but beautiful wedding then we went to Delaware for a mini honeymoon. We did a detour on the way home and went to see my father in Wisconsin. While we were there, he was carrying plywood out for my dad and twisted his ankle. It turns out that he has two tears in his ligaments, one ligament which actually can't be seen in the MRI, degeneration and a cyst on his ankle and now needs surgery, so he is undeployable and safe at home with me. It has been an adventure, but I wouldn't change a thing. He is my love and my best friend. :-)
