About the Video:
These pictures were all that we had from 2005 - 2007 during these years we.
2005 - Started dating 4/1/05; I graduated from Salem High School, NH 6/5//05; We started talking about Marriage sometime in the summer; Went camping at Russell Pond Campground for his 18th in August '05, and had an AWESOME TIME!; Matt's Nana passed away in August too; Then work and school came in the fall...; Then we found out that we were pregnant just around Thanksgiving '05 - and thats when the "shit hit the fan" so to speak - my inlaws still hate me to this day; Matt went to NY to avoid his ever pressuring family (can you believe they were forcing him to tell me to get an abortion??)

2006- Matt came back from his Mom's house in New York on a Greyhound Bus on January 13, 2006. We were married within an hour of him coming home. It was a very small and very quick ceremony. Nobody was invited, so if you feel hurt by that, we're sorry. We didn't want the clash of the families at our wedding as it is supposed to be OUR special day... not a day of fighting; Rebecca Eva was born on May 30th, she is beautiful. In the video you get to see all the picutres from 2006 and a few from 2007 just before we PCSed; On September 15th we found out we were pregnant again; Matt joined the army 2 months later; We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary on New Years Eve at Boston's First Night.

2007 - Matt went to BCT at Fort Knox on Jan 10th; On Jan 13th I spent our first Anniversary alone; On February 6th, I received my first letter from Matt while at Basic; On March 19th Matt Graduated from BCT, and went off to Fort Leonard Wood for AIT as a 21 Romeo; Matt graduated from AIT on May 3rd and flew back home May 4th. I picked him up at 10:30pm at the airport; My water broke at 3:15am on May 5th. 5 hours later Amanda Marie was born. Talk about timing!; We PCSed to Fort Leonard Wood on May 26th and drove all day and night from New Hampshire to Missouri; On May 27th Matt joined his Unit, 94TH EN BN; On May 30th Becca had her first birthday; In early October, the 94TH EN BN deployed to Iraq on a 15 month tour, Matt is due back early 2009; Christmas was spent back home in New Hampshire for me and the girls; On New Years Eve I celebrated my 2nd Anniversary with friends at Boston's First Night. It wasn't the same with out Matt and more than half the people that said that they would go, never showed up.

2008 -- I spent our 2nd wedding anniversary alone again; Me and the girls went back to the Fort, and now we are Vlogging!

To everybody that commented and rated. Thank you so much for your support :)

Hooah and HAVE A GOOD ONE!

Very sweet........My son just left last month for a 15 month deployment........ his 3rd deployment. His wife and 3 children just wait until he comes home. I too made a video and posted it and they took off ALL the songs I bought just for the video. The music is what makes the video grab at your heart. Beautiful video! Best wishes to you all.

My husband and I have been together almost 4 years and have only spent one anniversary together. He was deployed a week after our daughter was born, and came back a week after her first birthday. Army life is tough, and us wives deserve so much for dealing with it :D

Good video! I feel ya hon! Good luck to you and your family.
