Oh the joy of USMC. Gotta love it right? Amazing that in less than a month hubby and I will be celebrating our first anniversary as man and wife. CRAZY! Never in my mind would I have imagined that within 6 months from that time I would be standing very pregnant at a Marine Corps ball watching my husband thoroughly enjoy himself as I stood in heels feeling like Shamu in a dress that I thought didn't make my stomach look large (Who was I kidding?), living in my third residence in six months, fuming because the speaker said the F Bomb and all I could think was "Yea you are a Marine, but there are Marine daughter's here and they just heard that!".
Lately, I keep hitting the brick wall of not feeling successful at home. I think it's because I can't do as much as I once did. I take care of Caroline, try to maintain the house, cook dinner, and try to give my husband the most attention I possibly can when he gets home from work. But I miss my hubby, even though he is three feet away from me. It's hard being a wife period...add on the Marine Corps and it makes it tougher, sometimes I try to imagine what life would be like if hubby was a banker...it would be nice to have him home everyday at 5:30 see him in ties and suits, meet him for lunch out in town, and talk about the news. Instead my hubby is a Marine and I see him when the Marine Corps sees fit, he wears tan or green all year long, gets a haircut every Sunday and we talk about nonetheless....the Marine Corps or on American Idol night, the singers. Not going to lie...it's hard.
Is it worth it? Of course it is, his job is to protect my life...our life...and others lives when the time comes. I've always been a supporter of a draft, because I feel that it makes a man to serve his country...also I will more than likely always vote for the President or political candidate that has had an honorable time in the armed forces. It's also pretty kick butt when someone ask you what your husband does and you can say "He's a Marine", because they are the best ya know? :)
Gotta feed the baby....more on being a USMC wife later!
