BPOV Alice called half an hour ago to see if Edward called to tell me they were finally coming home, and I had. She told me to get into the shower, she and Rose would be over when I got out. I did as I was told and I took a shower, and true to her word her and Rose were already perfectly made up waiting for me. They immediately started in on my hair and makeup since we only had about forty five minutes until we had to leave to meet the guys. Half an hour later I had medium blue eyeshadow to compliment my chocolate brown eyes, mascara, eyeliner and a plum lipstick to accentuate my skin tone. Then Rose, Alice, and I each grab our garment bags and head off to get dressed We all return to my living room dressed and ready to go. We each leave taking our own cars so we can each go off to our own houses with the guys. When we finally get on base and go to the parking lot where the guys told us to wait so they can see us as soon as they pull in. As we wait of course Alice takes the time to fix a few of my curls that have escaped my updo. And Rose checks her makeup in her compact, because she wants to look perfect for Emmett. But then again Alice and I want to look the same for Jasper and Edward. All of the sudden we start to see humvees come down the road. I point them out to Rose and Ali who get just as excited as I do. Now is the hard part because as must as we want to run up to them as soon as they get out of there vehicles we can't because it will get them into trouble. We have to sit here patiently waiting for them to offload all their gear, refuel and check over all the humvees and go through formation. And the whole time they are only a few feet away and we can't run up to them and hug and kiss them like we want to. But our one comfort is watching the looks on each of there faces as they see us all dolled up and they have to be disciplined and do there jobs before they get to come see us. I can't stop myself from thinking how good Edward looks, I know its only been a week but you know what they say " abscence makes the heart grow fonder." Ugh I swear his commander is doing this on purpose they finally got there vehicles all squared away, and now the have been standing in formation for forever. I can't help but notice his uniform is fitting snugger in the shoulders. He must have been working out to help the down time pass. God he looks so good, why can't they give me back my soldier. I don't care what the military says he is mine not theirs. Wow I sound like a five year old. Suddenly I am pulled out of my train of thought by the sounds of of cheers and three hundred pairs of combat boots running. Some are headed to families like Edward, Emm,and Jazz. While others are rushing towards there cars so they can get to there families all the faster. All of the sudden to very strong arms pick me up off the ground and spin me in a circle as I giggle, then he kisses me with so much emotion like he's trying to show how much he's missed me. Finally we pull apart and as I look in those big emerald green eyes I love so much and I say " I have missed you so much Edward." And I pull him into a very tight hug, and he whispers into my hair" I've missed you to love, Let's go home. And you look absolutely beautiful." He picks up his bag, and we say our goodbyes to the others, and we head home to relax.
EPOV This week has been torture, from non stop filling sand bags,and complaining farmers to passing out on top of the levee with sun poisoning, which bella doesn't yet know about. I hardly had a free minute where we were actually allowed to call home but we all snuck texts out when the commander wasn't around. We spent day and night filling sand bags, and listening to ungrateful farmers tell us to work harder when they just sit around and watch us work. Then a few days in I was on top of the levee which was covered in a big black tarp that made it get to about 110 to 115 degrees and I ended passing out and getting sun poisoning. Ugh but finally after all of this I am making the trip home to my bella, and I finally get to wear civilian clothes again. No more unbearably hot uniforms I can wear shorts and t-shirts again. Finally the base is in sight and and me and the guys start to look for the only three people we wanted to see. And that was when we saw them our red, white and blue beauties, but the only one I had eyes for was my Bella. She looked absolutely gorgeous in that blue dress, which was probably the pixie's doing because she knows I love Bella in blue. It hugged her in all the right places, and it complimented her hair and skin color beautifully. She looked so excited when she saw the humvees come in to sight. I just wanted to run up to her wrap my arms around her, and kiss her pasionately. But I had a job to do still. I have to gas up and pmcs my humvee, and get it squared away. Then we have to stand through formation. So after an agonizing half an hour of taking care of the humvees and then parking them we sat around, and waited to be called for formation. This was the agonizing part, being this close to Bella, and not being able to hold, kiss or touch her. So after what seems forever we got called formation, and then finally with a loud cheer we were released. Suddenly the sound of three hundred pairs of combat boots pounding the pavement was all you could hear as some of us ran to our significant others, and families, and some went to their cars to race home to their loved ones. I raced Emm, and Jazz over to where the girls were standing. I ran over wrapped my arms around Bella and spun her around in a circle as she giggled her cute little giggle. And then I kissed her hard but lovingly to show her how much I really missed her. We finally broke apart because we both needed oxygen and she looked into my eyes, and said " I have missed you so much Edward." And I snuggled my face into her hair, and whispered " Let's go home love, Let's go home. And you look absolutely beautiful." And with that I pick up my duffel bag, and say good bye to our friends, and went home with the love of my life to relax. So we drove home, and the first thing I did was change out of my stupid uniform, and laid down on our bed to relax and cuddle with bella. But she did the next best thing, and told me to roll over on to my stomach. She then began to rub my back and shoulders to help me relax. The massage felt so good, and she really helped me relax after a long week filling sand bags, and working my butt off on that levee. So after a while of being relaxed and taken care of with by my wonderful bella I pulled her into my arms and we just snuggled and cuddled. We didn't say anything to each other, but we didn't have to because it was just one of those moments that would be ruined by talking. After a while of holding each other and staring into each others eyes we both drifted off to sleep at some point not even bothering to get under the covers.
BPOV After we got home got home Edward changed out of his uniform, and went to lay down and relax, but I had an idea to help him relax more. I went to the bed and told him to roll over on to his stomach, and he did. So I started to massage his tight, aching shoulders and back. After a little while of massaging himhe pulled me into his arms and just snuggled and cuddled me in a sweet, loving way that required no talking, and the silence wasn't uncomfortable in anyway. In fact the silence was nice it was just nice to hold each other after so long, but eventually we fell asleep in each others arms.

BPOV
This past year been absolutely amazing with Edward, yes I have to spend one weekend a month away from him, but I spend it with my girls. We have been having conversations about the future and getting married but I don't think he is going to propose anytime soon. So one day we go to the mall and Edward to be funny takes me by a jewelery counter and says " Pick out a couple of rings you like so when I do propose I have an idea." So I show him ones I like but my favorite is a wedding/ engagement ring set. The engagement ring is gold and silver. It has a good sized diamond in teh center with four diamond chips on each side the diamonds are surrounded in silver while the band is gold. The wedding ring gold on the sides with a silver ring in the center underneath the diamond chips on it. **A/N sorry it's a bad description I will post pics on my profile.** Then we decide to leave when Edward says " Go out to the car I will me you there in a few minutes." I have a feeling he is buying my ring but I don't want to get my hopes up. so I go to the car put our bags in the trunk, and get in and wait for him. After a few minutes I see him come out with my favorite crooked grin spread across his face. He gets in the car, and I look at his hoodie pocket and there is a small bag in it. And I start to get really excited because I know he bought my ring, but I keep as quiet as I can. Then to tease me even more he take the bag out and slips a ring box into his jeans pocket, then looks over at me and smiles again. Ugh he is doing this on purpose. So we drive the whole way home and the ring box is teasing me in his pocket and he is loving every second of this. So we get home and everybody is there already. So we go in and put the bags away, then he takes everyone off to the side and shows them my ring. I get to hear them say how beautiful it is and how much I will love it. So after a while I can't take the teasing anymore and I announce I am going to take a bath. So I go to the bathroom, and fill the tub and slip in and try to relax and not think about my ring. After a while I get out and I wrap up in a towel and head to our room. Edward is already on the bed waiting for me. So I ask "where is my ring?" And he tells me " I don't know its here somewhere" and he chuckles at my impatience. "Do I get it today or do I have to wait?" He tells me he isn't sure yet. I decided to get dressed, and after I do he pulls me over to sit on the bed, and he walks over to his dresser and starts to move things around. I wonder to myself if he is going to tease me or propose. He comes over to me with the ring box in hand and gets on one knee. I my heart is racing with excitement and nervousness, though I am not sure why I am nerous. He holds my hand and says "Bella I love you with all my heart and I would like to know will you make me the happiest man on earth by doing me the honor of being my wife?" I am tearing up and m throat is thick with emotion. I said yes and he smiled as he slipped the ring on my left finger. I have never been so happy in my life. This man wants to marry plain jane me. We kissed like we have never kissed before. Its a kiss filled with so much love and emotion that we are soon overcome by the need for each other that we make love. Edward is so sweet and gentle with me. After we finish and he is holding me in his arms I finally look at the ring because I realize I haven't even looked at it yet. He picked the one I liked most, he knows me so well, but it still surprises me sometimes. Eventually we both fall asleep holding each other.
