Among other definitions, I am someone who has fallen head over heels for a Marine infantryman. I am a portrait photographer, chocolate addict, wine lover, sometimes writer, dog lover, and oh yeah, a military spouse too.
This blog was started as a personal outlet while the aforementioned Marine was deployed to Iraq very early in our dating relationship. I decided to continue posting periodically after he made it safely home. Three months into our marriage he returned to Iraq for another tour, and I continued to write. After he returned home we encountered two PCS moves in 7 months and another year long trip to Iraq for him, so I figured I'd just keep blogging and hang on for this crazy ride! Another deployment and a cancer diagnosis later and I'm still writing, often just as an outlet for the crazy stuff the goes through my head.
The spotted one is a ball fanatic, but being as hot as it is here, he needs periodically soaked with the hose if he plays outside. He tries to drink it at the same time, which made for some hilarious photos!
Sometimes I envy those who have pets like you. You see I was once a lover of pets but a certain incident took my confidence in taking care of them. I accidentally killed a puppy back when I was 12. From then on, I decided not to own even one pet and seeing photos like you've shared to us envies me most of all. take care of him =)
