My husband and I met at the end of the year in 2007. We connected instantly! I was in the United States Air Force at the time and Jeremy was working with Border Patrol near Mexico. Jeremy had a 6 year old son at the time from his previous marriage and we just so happened to get pregnant in 2008. We got married, Jeremy enlisted in the United States Army, and I separated for the sake of our future child all in the same year of 2008. Now, some would refer to this as a "Shotgun Wedding" and those would deny, deny, deny until they were blue in the face. I am still denying and I have never been blue in the face because that is just not the case for us.
See having two parents serving in the military at the same time (in my opinion, for at least our family) is no bueno. I would have hated for us to both be deployed at the same time and have our son not have at least one of his parents there with him. Please don't get me wrong, I support dual military families and/or single soldier families. If it works for you and your family then I'm all for it.
For the past three years the Breece family has been stationed in Germany. Of course, being in a military family you always think about deployments; whether when and if they will happen, how long they will be, and what you are going to do??
This moment came to us and happened in 2010 which leads us to the challenging moments that have already occurred and what is to come in the future.....
Roxanne, this is a great idea! I look forward to seeing you guys when you return to Germany. PLEASE let us know if you need anything while you are here. Since we are PCS'ing we don't have much but what we have is yours if you need it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are doing this Roxanne. I have been touched, inspired, and in awe of not only Jeremy but you also. You my dear are also a true hero. I know you'll say "you do what you have to do" but I think you are a wonderful woman and wish your family all the luck in the world. Thank you so much for creating this blog so that we can all follow your family through this journey. My son Gary told me that if anybody could get through something like this it is Jeremy his exact words were.. " he's one BA MFer." You guys are in my daily prayers. Much love coming from an Army Mom in Missouri.
