Marching On!

ok, so i've kinda gotten back in the kick of song titles for blog post titles. so yes this one IS a song. A song by One Republic actually. I became a One Republic fan right before Riley left for bootcamp. but then when he was gone, i became a HUGE fan! and this song is one of my favorites... ok i can't really say that cause i love every one of their songs! but this morning, this is the one stuck in my head. not the others.



ok, and since i love the lyrics, here THEY are :)

"Marchin On"

For those days we felt like a mistake,
Those times when loves what you hate,
Somehow,
We keep marching on.

For those nights when I couldn't be there,
Ive made it harder to know that you know,
That somehow,
Well keep moving on.

Theres so many wars we fought,
Theres so many things were not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
Were marching on,
(Were marching on)
(Were marching on).

For all of the plans weve made,
There isnt a flag Id wave,
Dont care if we bend,
Id sink us to swim,
Were marching on,
(Were marching on)
(Were marching on).

For those doubts that swirl all around us,
For those lives that tear at the seams,
We know,
Were not what we've seen,

For this dance well move with each other.
There aint no other step than one foot,
Right in front of the other.

Theres so many wars we fought,
Theres so many things were not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We're marching on,
(We're marching on)
(We're marching on).

For all of the plans we've made,
There isn't a flag Id wave,
Don't care if we bend,
Id sink us to swim,
We're marching on,
(We're marching on)
(We're marching on).

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right,
We're marching on.

Well have the days we break,
And well have the scars to prove it,
Well have the bonds that we save,
But well have the heart not to lose it.

For all of the times we've stopped,
For all of the things I'm not.

We put one foot in front of the other,
We move like we aint got no other,
We go when we go,
We're marching on.

Theres so many wars we fought,
Theres so many things were not,
But with what we have,
I promise you that,
We're marching on, (We're marching on) (We're marching on).

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
Were marching on.

Right, right, right, right left right,
Right, right, right, left, right,
Right, right,
Were marching on.

isn't it such a good song! i love it! and this week it's worked perfectly for my life. Riley has been gone for over 2 weeks now. and it is starting to wear on me. i mean i am totally fine. it's just i'm sick of this CAX training crap and i'm ready to have him back. YES i know that a deployment is much longer... please don't feel the need to remind me of that. ESPECIALLY if you are not a military wife. because for most of you 5 weeks without your spouse is alot longer than you've ever gone! wow, sorry that probably sounded alot harsher than i wanted it to. so i'm sorry. i've just had to deal with stupid people lately, who feel it their duty to remind me of the dangers that come with being a Marine Wife.

Rye has been in the field all week. so last friday he told me i wouldn't get to talk to him until like this sunday or monday. and our Anniversary was this last thursday. so i had accepted the fact that i wouldn't get to talk to him. the morning before he left for the field so saturday, he got on someones iphone and left me a "happy anniversary" message on my facebook. which made me smile! so Thursday came and i didn't see the point in crying because he wasn't there. because it wouldn't help the situation at all. Shaunci and Megan decided i shouldn't stay home, so we went to the gym, made dinner and watched a movie. Right before i was leaving for that little get together my phone rang with a text. and it was "Grass" one of rye's Marine buddies.

"Hey babe happy anniversary. i love you soo much!"
ummm i was on cloud NINE!!! so we only got about 4 texts in each before he had to go. but it was so amazingly sweet of him. i KNOW he had to pull alot of strings to get someones phone that had signal, AND when Marines are out in the field they usually lose track of what day of the week it is. he really does make me so happy. and what an awesome way to start out year number 5.


So while life may be trying to wear me down, and break me.
we'll keep marching on.
