Just a little something I wrote.

I am a Marine Wife.

I prepare for & conquer deployments.

I am Mommy & Daddy to my children most of the time.

I dream of a vacation he can actually go on.

I count down days.

I sleep with my cell phone in my hand, just in case he calls.

I wear his dog tags & wedding ring around my neck as a reminder he is always close.

I cry myself to sleep sometimes.

I put a smile on my face, even though my heart hurts everyday.

The last 5 weeks...

Regimental Combat Team -1 (ADVON)

Uncle Matt, Daddy & Uncle Spencer.

He is such an incredible Daddy!
One last kiss...So proud of him!There goes my life...So both our babies fell asleep & Paul wasn't able to give them one last hug...they literally woke up like 5 minutes before the buses took off so he was able to love on them through the window...& I balled...A LOT!
I set up my kiddos trampoline!!!
We've had LOTS of laughs!

Where the toys hide...you better believe I took those closet doors off so my kids didn't break them!

Laundry room...exciting, right?!
Dining room...I'm not fond of the green wall...I actually might paint it because it just doesn't match real well with my furniture or decor.

Kitchen...my favorite!!!
