The Life of a Marine Fiance...

I thought I would share what it is like to be a marine fiance.....
-You wait and wait and wait for a phone call only to realize that he won't be calling today
- You can become best friends with a stanger just because they are wearing a USMC shirt or have a sticker on their car.
- You cry when you hear of someones man getting hurt or worse, killed.
- You do your best to survive through the TOUGHEST times even though you don't feel like you can make it another step
- You hold your breath everytime the phone rings....hoping and praying it's him.
- Everytime you go to the store you buy him two or three new things to send him.
- You want to shoot anyone protesting against the war or our troops.
- You do your best to sound chipper on the phone and in emails when all you want to do is just cry with relief because you know he is safe and you miss so bad.
- You dream of being in his arms only to wake up and realize it's just a dream
- You scream when you realize you have a email, phone call, myspace message or ANYTHING from him!
- A simple "i love you" makes your day.
- A simple "i'm okay...I promise" makes it even better!!
- You read of other wife's, girlfriends, fiance's struggles and you cry with them because you understand.
- You never look at the news because it is too depressing and scary
- You can speak in Military time
- You could talk all the lingo with Marines and understand exactly what they are saying.
- You pray for his buddies just as much as him because you know it would kill him to lose a buddy
- You can't watch a war movie without crying
- YOu learn you are more independant than you thought
- And least but definitley NOT last........you learn to pray and rely on God more than you ever had to before. Because you can't protect your man over there...only God can! Sooo don't ever forget to pray for my man, your men and all the other men surving our country! Freedom isn't free...at least not for the Marines and their women...but we do it all over again just to see that everyone else in the world is free.

I'm sure there are many more things I could think about if I really thought about it...but these are just a few I thought of. David called me yesterday and left me a myspace comment today soooo I'm have a good day:-D Thanx for your prayers.....please keep praying for God's safe keeping on our boys!!!!!!!

While David was home for PreD leave, we went out on several double dates with Sean and Dani! It was a blast!!!! David and Sean are so much alike it's scary! Danielle and I just learned to shake our heads and laugh at them! Hahaha! I flew down Friday evening and got there just in time for the rehersal. After the rehersal, I made a quick trip to Walmart for last min. items and then went up to the courts for Intermurals! Saturday arrived VERY early! Dani had asked me to show up around 8:30 which I did! And, man, I'm glad I did! We rushed around doing last min. items and then the pictures started! They turned out really good...or at least I'm pretty sure they did! Hahaha! The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was exciting to think that our of all our friends (so far), I'm the next one to get married!!! AHHHHH!!! I can't wait! hahaha! The reception was really good too and they had an AWESOME car to ride away in! Afterwards, Erica (one of the other bridesmaids) and I went back to the church to get our stuff together, clean up and just sit for a min.! Hahaha! I was sooo tired! I can only imagin what Dani felt like! Hahaha1! Later that evening, I went over to my good friend, Mistys and we discussed wedding plans! It was a blast! Then Sunday I flew home! It was a short and great weekend! It was fun being back in Florida! I love it there! Soooo here are a few pics from the wedding! The very first one (up above) is of me and Brittany Shillington (Dani's Maid of Honor).
This is Dani and I before the wedding and all the pictures! Isn't her dress GORGEOUS!!!
