I got a letter this morning

I don’t remember if I said that Rob told me that he sent me a letter, but he told me when we talked last Friday. Anyway… I got the letter today! He sent me this card… omg it is so sweet! The top of the card read I believe in our love. And the rest of the card was so beautiful… did I ever say that I was a sucker for cards, especially the romantic ones? Well I totally am. Then on the left side of the card he wrote something that brought tears to my eyes….

"I couldn’t have asked for a better girl than you. You are the best part of me. Thank you so much for loving me"

Haha I am such a hopeless romantic and he is such a sweetheart! That makes 3 cards now… 2 bought and one handmade! Ahhh my baby always knows how to make me smile. But then I open up the letter inside the card…

He was telling me about what was going on. He said that 2 guys got hit and killed by an IED. Then I read something that made my heart stop. He almost stepped on a pressure mine!!!  He said that he was walking around and looked down and saw these wires…. so he moved some trash out of the way and saw that he foot was right over the pressure sensor of the mine… right where he was about to step!!! Thankfully he noticed it and didn’t step, but that was such a close call! I know that he is ok since he called me after he wrote that letter but still…. that scares me more then anything. I know that things like that happen all the time and I am grateful to him that he is so careful but still…. OMG! Then I was off crying for a completely different reason. It took me a bit but I calmed down and read the card again… and those sweet sweet words that he wrote to me and was ok. *sigh* I told this to one of my friends today and she said "I’m surprised that you don’t have gray hair but now" haha it made me laugh. There is so much stress but I promised him that I would be okay. And I am okay…. a little more sensitive to things, but I am ok.

I am so glad that he is okay! Lucky, glad and grateful!
