Happily Ever After: There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Today has been pretty uneventful. Ambrose and I made our to the bank so we could open our joint checking account and a savings account. Our debit cards should be in the mail soon. Which is good because my current debit card has my maiden name on it. Now I'll have on that has my married name on it. It's very exciting!

We've both been applying like crazy to different places. Especially me! But Ambrose put out a bunch of applications while I was in Oklahoma so I'm just trying to catch up. There are some BEAUTIFUL apartments in my old home town that we're looking into. They're very affordable and just...nice. A place to make a home. I desperately want to make a home with my husband. A place that he's happy to come to. Where we can relax, study, etc. I constantly mentally plan how to decorate. Saige and I already plan to go thrifting to get things for our apartment. It will probably be very eclectic but that's how my brain is, haha.

We've been staying with Ambrose's grandparents. I adore them. They're some of the sweetest people I've ever met. His grandfather, who did our ceremony, is so loving to Ambrose. His grandmother is a sweetie and very affectionate. I love her hugs! It's nice because since my grandmother is gone its wonderful to have a grandmother-in law who loves me.Although it's great living here, I hope Ambrose and I are out soon. We need to stand on our own two feet.

So aside from being jobless and living with family...life is beautiful. My heart is full. I have a roof over my head, full belly, and I am loved more than I thought possible. What more could I expect from life?

So I made it through Army Basic Training but at my next battery I was doing PT and noticed my hip was hurting really bad. It'd get to the point that after I ran I'd be on the floor crying and unable to move. I ended up going to the clinic to get some ibuprofen but they made me get an x ray. The doctor said there was a fracture on my hip. He showed me lines and such on the x ray and I nodded like I knew what I was seeing. For all I know he could've been showing me an x ray of an arm. I'm not a radiologist. So anyway, they gave me crutches and off to the hospital I went for a bone scan. Not on the same day though. I started physical therapy too and waited for the results. The results came back and they found fractures in my left knee and right ankle. The way I had been walking was putting stress on my hip, so if I'd kept going that would've fractured too. I talked with a Major for awhile and we both decided it'd make more sense for me to just get out of the Army. I could've stayed to heal but if I did that I'd be past a certain point in my contract meaning that if they decided to discharge me, I wouldn't be able to re enlist. Since my injuries are still covered by the VA I said I'd rather go home and be able to re enlist in 6 months. It was the best option. So now I'm off the crutches but still healing. It mostly hurts early in the morning and then at the end of the day. I walk with a limp though. Hopefully in a few months I'll be completely better and be able to start running again. That way if I decide to re enlist I'm ahead of the game. I'll be that high speed soldier who knows everything. At least I can already march haha.

Anyway, I think I'll end this with a few pictures just to keep you all interested. Be honest, you skipped the reading part and just scrolled down to here to see the three pictures, didn't you?!
