"A Prince At War"

This is how I look at my husband right now.

Not only is he my hero, but my best friend and lover. What makes it so amazing is that he is my prince, the one person in the world that I would NOT want to be at war in case of losing him. Granted, I knew this day would come and all of that, but it sure is difficult to send the one person you never want to be away or be hurt off to war.

I cannot imagine being a wife back during the earlier wars when internet and telephone was a revolution of the future. Those women are the most amazing role models and I only hope that one day our daughter will look up to me as I do to those women who stood so strong when their husband were away.

Matthew is the one person that I want with me at all times and never ever get sick of. The one person that I can tell all of my secrets to and be silly or stupid around and not worry what he thinks of me. I love when he thinnks I am being crazy he just sits there with this stare looking at me like "are you done yet?" and then when I am done doing my silly thing, usually a random dance or song, he laughs and hugs me and says something like "See that's why I love you, always keeping me entertained" When really deep down inside that very comment actually means, "Dont ever embarrass me like that in public again!" Haha. It's a loving way to deal with the craziness of fun personalities. (That is how I rationalize my crazy, sometimes wierd behavior).

However, Matthew really has no room to speak. When he turns the music on in the car, he is absolutely in his own little world. It doesn't matter who is around or not around or looking. He will play the air drums and sing all day long if he likes the song that is on. Fortunately, for most of us, he turns the music up loud enough that we can hear him trying to reach the high notes. So actually what it looks like is someone head banging and air singing to incredibly loud, incomprehensible music and misses the green light while everyone honks. The greatest thing about it is that he totally doesnt care what anyone thinks including myself when I am in the car with him slouching down and trying to cover my face. I will admit, often times it is quite entertaining and occasionally I get in a head bang or two, but still....I love him for it. Once he gets that song over with he usually calms down and enjoys the rest of the drive like an old man going 35 and me saying HURRY UP!!!! Hahah.....aren't we an interesting couple?! Although, I suppose when I look at it, we are really one in the same. He just has his own music and I have to make my own by singing. Fortunately, I am not too bad since vocals run in the family and after exposing Matthew's Car Idol moments, i am sure he will speak differently about my singing. Perhaps I may never hear them again, highly unlikely though. They come and go and summertime is the best time to do these things with the windows down and wind in your hair!

So anyway, that is just a blip in the life of Matthew and Katie Fullmer. We try our best to keep everyone guessing and usually are pretty successful. Our life is never boring and always on the go, just the way we like it. With a baby on the way, it will be that much more hectic and honestly, I cannot wait. The personaility this child will have should be double dosage of her parents leading us to believe she may need medicine for that at a very young age! AH!

Ok, well off to bed, remember, comments are appreciated. To those we haven't spoken to lately, know we love you and miss you and hopefully will see you soon!

Love in the kindest.
