Women and men have a wide range of experiences when it comes to sexual arousal (feeling horny). Some feel like they are constantly aroused, especially when they're pretty young (teens, twenties or thirties) or during some times of hormonal change.
Others feel like they're almost never aroused, but most people fall somewhere in between these two extremes. So no, it's not weird that you feel aroused so often -- in fact, what you describe is one of several "normal" possibilities for 18-year-olds (or even 30-, 50- or 80-year-olds!).
As for the vagina, you're absolutely right that it can grow during arousal (pretty amazing, eh?). In its unaroused state, the vagina is only about three or four inches long. But when a woman feels sexually aroused, her vagina goes through a natural process called "tenting" that makes it grow both longer and wider.
So where does this space come from, anyway? After all, it's not like the vagina expands outward away from a woman's body. Instead, the vagina expands inward. The uterus tips upward, giving the vagina room to expand further into the body. This increase in size can make sexual penetration (including vaginal intercourse) more comfortable for women.
But comfortable sex isn't the only fabulous by-product of vaginal tenting. Some women simply enjoy the sensation. While not everyone actually feels the process occur, some women feel like "something's going on" down there and they enjoy how it feels. Genital sensations might even be an indicator to some women that they're sexually aroused -- and that realization can be a major turn-on.
Another sign of sexual excitation that women may notice is vaginal lubrication. It's healthy and normal for the vagina to be somewhat moist all of the time, as that maintains the skin and tissue well, and at times there is also a noticeable discharge (again, totally normal) during the monthly cycle. But during sexual arousal, additional clear fluid or moisture (usually called lubrication) is produced.
Like the sensation of tenting, "feeling wet" is enjoyable for some women. Plus, vaginal lubrication can help make sexual penetration more comfortable for women by decreasing friction, and it can help clean the vaginal tissue.
And it doesn't stop there! Sexual arousal is quite an involved process with changes also occurring to your heart rate, breathing, clitoris, labia minora (inner lips of the vulva) and breasts. You can learn more about women's genitals and sexuality in "The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health" by Dr. Elizabeth Stewart and Paula Spencer.
While the vagina goes through quite a few incredible changes during the process of sexual arousal, the vagina does indeed return to "normal" when arousal decreases. Your vagina will return to its normal size, lubrication returns to its typical production rate, your heart rate decreases, your thoughts might return to school/family/friends, and life resumes as usual. Until, of course, the magic begins again.

All women's vaginas are made to stretch, in order to give birth it must strtch loads. it sound like you could have Vaginismus. This refers to tension in the vaginal muscles, which in turn causes painful intercourse. Women with vaginismus may have vaginal muscles that become so tight the vagina cannot be entered. They often experience pain in the genital, vaginal or pelvic area, and they fear penetration and intercourse.
Sometimes this tension occurs only during sexual encounters, resulting in the inability to have intercourse. Or it may be more global, preventing the woman from inserting a tampon or having a pelvic examination. Many women with vaginismus have a medical condition that causes pain in the vulva, vagina or pelvis. This pain may be constant, occasional, or only during sex. Vaginismus is an involuntary reaction of a woman's body to protect from anticipated pain.
I suggest you go and see your docor who should be able to helpor refer you to someone that can.

You have to relax and get into the moment. When a woman gets sexually excited her vagina stretches and is ready to accept a mans penis. You have to make sure you are very wet. Use lots of Lube and gel also to help.
You will be fine.

Sexual pain disorders affect women almost exclusively and are known as dyspareunia (painful intercourse) and vaginismus (an involuntary spasm of the muscles of the vaginal wall that interferes with intercourse). Dyspareunia may be caused by insufficient lubrication (vaginal dryness) in women.

What I would do is go buy you a few dildos. Try a small size. Then build yourself up to where he can fit better in you without all the pain

A Vagina is strechable. Hey, a babys head will pass through someday. So don't panic, and relax. I bet, during sexual intercourse with your husband, you think too much abou that.
Let it flow, it helps !
