My Life With the Love of My Life

My name is Joseph Neck and I dedicate this blog to the love of my life, Isabel Neck. She has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't know where I would be without her and try not to think of anything like that. She has been faithful, honest, loyal, patient, forgiving, caring and loving to me among many other beautiful characteristics. If you are fortunate enough to meet this woman you would immediatly understand why I feel this way about her. I could go on all day on how beautiful she is. I am such a lucky man to have her in my life. For this I thank you Isabel Neck. I will forever be your swan.

The Hurdles

Since me and my wife have been together she has been there to support me through the hardest of times. She has given up everything she has known as far as her old life in Germany to be with me. I am so grateful for this. Growing in the Army has been a great hurdle for me and my wife's relationship. This obstacle has caused me to make some decisions that I will always regret, nevertheless my wife has forgiven me and continued to stick by my side. Now I am deployed and we are having a great distance between us to include many other obstacles and barriers. We have gone through many hard times, but also we have had many outstanding times. These moments are all the joy of my life. She has provided me with them. Thank you again baby for without you I am lost.

The Heaven of Our Happiness

Where do I start with all the good times that my wife and I have add. These times have made me the happiest man alive and has made my love for her clear to me. She has to be the funniest person I have ever met and knows how to make fun out of any situation. We have had many bright moments in are relationship and I would not trade those moments for anything in the world. The love we share for each other is imaginable. We have been to many place together throughtout Germany, Texas and Louisiana. When I finish this deployment I intend on adding many other places to that list. We have been to many different cathedrals and different landmarks throughout Germany. We have been to Kemah Boardwalk and even toured New Orleans. These moments are the brightest moment of my life and she has shown me how to truely have fun.

About Us

I met my wife in Bodenheim, Germany (her hometown) at a club called Antoine's Discotadl. It only took a few weeks for me to realize that I love this woman. I would stay at her house on the weekends until about 7 months later when I moved in. Not long after I proposed to Isabel Schehlman at a club called the A61. I ask the DJ to allow me to use the microphone and I proposed to her 10 minutes before the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31st. She said yes with a smile that I'll never forget. I got on one knee and put the ring on her finger. Three months later we were getting married in her hometown, Bodenheim. She looked stunning. I was amazed but as always I didn't express that to her. Nevertheless I was swept off my feet by her beauty. I was very nervous during the wedding not because I was scared of what was to come, but because I was marrying the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes. This can be intimidating to any man. Another 3 months went by and it was time for us to go to America. This was a very exhausting move. Everything seemed like it was working against us. We were so stressed financially and physically. We were able to make it through that stress though. We purchased a vehicle and found a nice home to live in. Soon after the move I reported to my new duty station in Fort Hood, Tx. We both hated the environment around Fort Hood, but we were able to cope. We would go on several road trips to Houston and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Not long after I got to Fort Hood I recieved Orders directing me to deploy with this unit to Iraq. Upon recieving my orders Isabel told me that she wished to stay in Germany during the duration of my deployment. That was her decision so she went. We had a hard time finding a descent home for our pets, but at the last minute we were able to. I still wish today that we would've been able to spend more time together before this deployment, but my unit was to busy keeping us at the motorpool. Even when we were finished with packing they kept us there to wait for the end of the day. This frustrated me so much.
