I found my love in Iraq.Todd was deployed in Iraq 2005/2006.Todd and I both had a My Space web page.He is a soldier and he liked how my profile said that I support our soldiers.We started writing as pen pals and exchanged email addresses in Feruary 2006. I was so happy to be supporting a soldier.When todd didn't want his family to know he had a bad day he was able to talk to me.He didn't want his family to worry so I was able to be a good listener for him.He asked for my phone number cause he said when he comes home he wants to meet the woman who supported him for the remainder of his tour.We wrote until he was at the end of his tour which was June 25,2006. That day his family had a welcome home party so Todd called me cause he thought that was a perfect time for him and his family to meet me.I was so happy he made it home safe and I couldn't believe he called me!! I went to meet him and we hugged eachother like we have been friends for years.I can't believe the connection we both felt.I can't believe the impact I made on Todd by being his pen pal.He said I gave him hope and kept him going.His family was so nice I really enjoyed visitng with them.Todd and I went for a walk to a playground and sat on the swings and talked for a long time.That was the day it all began.We started dating from that moment on.We went on vacation to the Outter Banks,SC the summer of 2007.He took me to Cape Hattaras Light House cause he knows I love light houses.We climbed 250 steps to get to the top.That is where Todd proposed to me.Ofcourse I said yes after he made me work so hard to get my ring.We got married October 19,2007 because we found out he is getting deployed again. He left for Iraq January 19,2009.I am not able to see my lover,best friend,husband on Valentine's Day but I can still send him love letters and care packages.This time it's not as a pen pal I am his WIFE. I love you Todd and miss you!!
