Marine Wife. Newlywed. Actress. Theatre Lover. Dork. Picture Taker. Swimmer. Jersey Girl. Blogger. I was born and raised in NJ but came to DC for college. Of course I would meet my future husband here. I went off to Disney for six months while Ryan was in Iraq on our first deployment. Now I am living the life of a "grown up" in North Carolina, a Yankee in the South, and adjusting to this new and amazingly wonderful life.
Sergeant in the USMC now in his sixth year. Now starting a new re-enlistment, term two. One deployment to Iraq done. Southern boy who was transplanted up north but still ever the gentleman. Stock Market Genius. Wine Lover. One of the smartest, handsomest, most determined and driven men to ever have walked the Earth. Just finished nine months in 29 Palms for his new job as a Ground Radio Tech. He is definitely happy to be back in the South again!
Peanut Butter and Jelly. Opposites Attracted. My First Love. His True Love. We met at a Saint Patrick's Day Party thanks to mutual friends. We talked for two months then started dating. We went through college graduation, a deployment, a Disney internship, a whirlwind engagement of wedding plans, and a year of marriage in VA together uninterrupted. Then we did nine months on opposite coasts. Now we live in Eastern North Carolina. Of course the Corps always manages to worm its way into our lives but Semper Gumby! My Marine and Me.. ♥
As you may have noticed I started writing for SpouseBUZZ and if you are a Nicholas Sparks' fan you will appreciate my article this week! Well when they initially asked me if I wanted to write for the site they also asked me if I wanted to speak at SpouseBUZZ Live in 29 Palms at the end of March. Not only would I get to be a new blogger at the event (and speak!) but I would get to see Ryan!!! I initially declined but once they told me the trip was sponsored by the site (aka I get the flight and hotel covered) I couldn't say no!!!
So tomorrow I am getting up at 4am... I am not a morning person but I am pretty excited. I have a cab coming at 4:30 to be at the airport at 5 for my flight at 6am. At 11:30am (CA time) I will be in Palm Springs!! I'll have a nice lunch with the ladies who are running the show and the other bloggers that are also speaking. We will have a working dinner then I get to spend the night with Ryan! The conference is Saturday and then I spend the entire evening with Ryan before flying back Sunday morning.
I am super excited for this weekend and I cannot wait to tell you all about it!!!
