I was going to wait until we hit the 30 day mark but I just can't!!! LOL

As some of you know he and I have had some issues recently but things have and are continuing to improve so with that said I am excited and happy that we only have 41 days left until he is home with me but I'm also a little anxious and scared because then we will face the true test to see if we can make it again together in the free world or not.I have a whole lot of hope as he is my one and only love :)



WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO 41 days to go!!!!
