Jake graduated from basic training the day that we invaded Iraq and, even though he was a reservist, I knew eventually he'd probably be pulled to go. Jake kind of wanted to wait to get married, but I told him I wouldn't "shack up" with him beyond the summer.
"Marry me this summer, or I'm going to book a dorm room."
I guess he loved me enough that he didn't want me all of a quarter mile away at the dorms. And, seriously, who are we kidding? I would've never been able to stay in a dorm while he had a cozy apartment within walking distance of campus.
It has been a wild ride of a marriage, I'll tell you that much. We have been through some crazy stuff! But I wouldn't have it any other way.
