How i met Marlin Kelly Bateman

Isn't he gorgeous? Anyways this is going to be a long story if i will tell everything from start to finish without doing a little editing. This is kelly's version on how he found me. He was being deployed to Turkey, that was the start of the war in Iraq ( he used to be in the air force) Some of his friends was into online dating, so he tried it out, checked online site to find "the lady" that he will have a little fun with corresponding while in a place that there's really not much thing to do, because i think they were on alert, so that means no drinking. So he sorted some of the ladies profile and can you believe it? i made the cut, i think i was in the top ten, he only wanted to try getting to know asian ladies. So, he said he send some few letters to a "few ladies" that he like the profile most, i got my letter, he attached some few pictures of him and his buddy's and the first thing that caught my attention while reading his letter, aside from the looks, is he is an honest person, he told me right away that his been divorce for 10 years and he has 3 kids, and his not really looking for a relationships.

I corresponded with his letter and we exchanged emails once in a while until he decided to come pay "us" a visit, he was planning to visit couple a girls that he sent letters to and replied him. He did plan to met me first and he didn't get the chance to see the other girls because for one thing? he was only gonna stay in the PI for a week? i mean how lame is that if your planning to see couple of girls right? but i excuse him for that because it was his first time in the PI and military people are not supposed to be in Mindanao. So we hang-out and i was so amazing that was really comfortable with him, he was and until now fun to be with, never failed to make me laugh and angry sometimes. He only stayed in the PI for a few days because thats the only break he could get and he will be deployed again once his back to the US.

When he was being deployed to Crate Greece, he ask me if i could get a visa to go there, i didn't tried eventhough i really wanted to see him again. And after a few months he went back to the PI and he stayed for 10 days, and then we decided that maybe i should try getting a tourist visa and as expected, i got denied. So he went back to the US again and decided to get us a fiancee visa and we got a approved and before we decided to get married we had a talked we both so unsure of what's gonna happened, but we still did got married. There was a lot of thorns and painful and stressful part of our marriage, we are one of those millions couple who has fights and issues.

Right now, we passed that hurdles and trying to move on a life goes on with a new prospective and knows how to deal with each other and and knows when to back off. We communicate and compromise with each other and we are a better person and a much better couple, We are PARTNERS.

Kelly is still the best thing that happened to me, i still thank god for the chance of having him in my life and being with him for the rest of my life.

This is not even close to a quarter of my life experience with my husband, some things are better keep it safe and private. And i still have a long way to go of knowing him some more,,, cause this a journey that i would go and not regret that i did...He is a big part of my life's journey.
