Smookie: It has nothing to do with the deployments themselves. Frankly, I'm fine with it. This is my life, meaning I was born and raised military. I actually prefer time away from him. His current job won't transfer to anything in the civilian wor...

I don't really have any advice for you about this, since I don't have any experience with it. However, I can say that if he wants to be a warrant officer, and he's going up against a bunch of other people who have something he doesn't (his degree)...

Yep...my husband brought this up to me 2 nights ago. Oddly enough, it was after another test result of not advancing to E5 (less than 4% in his rate advanced to E5). He wants to try and "go from blue to green" to become a warrant officer so he can...

I'm a Navy brat who married a sailor. I've been through a lot, mostly of my own doing. I have a story/experience for almost anything you can think of, whether it involves me or someone close to me. My husband and I have been married for over a year now. (YAY!)

Back in school to finish an AA in Accounting. My husband and I are currently trying to get pregnant with baby #1. In the meantime, I'm enjoying receiving pictures and updates of my nephew who was born 9/9/09. :)

Random Thoughts

The last time I wrote was bitching about my crappy birthday. I have a scar where the spider bites were, above my right eyebrow. It bothers me everytime I look in the mirror. I think it's going away, but it may just be wishful thinking. It's not like a little scar either. It looks like a chunk is missing out of my forehead. Whatever. I'll get over it.

So I'm in Los Angeles right now. My parents are here for the day. Today is my uncle's birthday, so they decided to do an overnight stop on their w… Continue

Happy Birthday to Me

I see that the site automatically updates ages. Woo hoo... So, I'm officially 25 now. Well, TECHNICALLY, I have about 2.5 more hours, but close enough. I was planning to go to Dave and Buster's last night to celebrate with some friends. That didn't happen. What DID happen is that I went to the ER yesterday morning. On Tuesday or Wednesday, I got some sort of bug bite(s) above my right eyebrow. My whole forehead was swollen Wednesday and Thursday. I thought it was getting better Friday. Turns out… Continue

It just hit me...

...that my husband is leaving next week. We've been having a lot of problems in the short time we've been married. Well, the problems started after he got home from the last deployment. We had never spent a lot of time together, much less lived together, so it was culture shock. Add that to the fact that he had never lived with a woman that wasn't immediate family...it was BAD. Anyway, things have gotten better, I think. I was so busy with my 2 night classes and planning for my summer, that his… Continue

No return date??

My husband's upcoming deployment started out as a 4-4.5 month one. Now, they're saying it will be anywhere from 1-5 months longer. It's because the Navy doesn't have the money to have a bunch of ships out, so the Nimitz probably won't deploy like it was supposed to. It's one thing to have a general idea, like a month give or take...but 1-5 months??? This is ridiculous.

That's my vent. I'm done now. I think that's my shortest vent ever. lol

I hate April 1

It's not because of the stupid jokes and pranks. It's because 5 years ago today, my (now ex) husband told me he didn't want to be married to me anymore. It was the day I officially gave up on that marriage. I was so emotionally and mentally worn down that I couldn't fight for it anymore. He and I are living proof that love isn't enough.

hey girl..thx for the comment. TRUST me ..i have NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD when it comes to "moochin" off my husband :) it's nice to know he IS taking care of EVERYTHING and we have no worries.. but i understand where he is coming from : he would have TWICE as much money if i could find work..HOWEVER just like u said with the economy and the fact that a work place could hire somebody that plans on stayin around..no reason to hire me when i've only got 5 more months in north carolina. Anyways..im gonna keep tryin. :) thanks for the comment!

What is the date that youve been told they are coming home? My husband is attached to the boat. He is not ships company. He is in HS-4.

Hello, He left late because he left his last command after the reagan deployed then he took 30 days leave. I cant wait until they come home..I miss my husband soooo much. Are you in San Diego right now. We will be in Chesterton Housing. Very nice area. Anyways maybe when I move out there we can get together. Is your husband ships company or is he attached to the ship (in a command?)

Aw. :-( Well at least you have the possibility of shore duty next year to look forward too.
I will definitely look into going to Disney. I wonder if they have those special rates often.
Golf sounds good too. I actually tried to play a couple of years ago but I stopped after the first half hour because I couldn't see the ball. LOL! I couldn't see the ball when my friends played, I couldn't see the ball when I watched Tiger on tV and I couldn't see the ball whenever I hit it. LOL! Thats very sad in my book....
But yeah, my exes sister used to get all upset because she didn't hang out with him as much after we got together. Then when we were engaged she was upset cause I didn't make her a bridesmaid. LOL. Glad thats over with!

IN your profile pic are you in disney land or world or where? I want to go to either of those so bad! I've only ever been to EuroDisney which I think is sooo not the total experience...lol.
