On that hot summer day I did not imagine I would be a wife. Not to this man, a United States Marine. I never once as a little girl pictured myself standing on the side of a bus with tears running down my face, waving good bye to my husband. I never once as a little girl played deployment with my Barbie dolls. I did not have dreams of sleeping alone at night wiping my tears on the dog. But this is my life as I know it. It is the most awful, amazing, cruel, beautiful life you can imagine. This is my collection of stories, my journal entries, my thoughts, and my opinions on my life as a military wife.
