She Who Waits
Who exactly is she?

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.

Elmo

Most long time readers of mine know all about Elmo. :giggle:

For those who don't:

It's an inside joke between my husband and I and the poor guy receives an Elmo every deployment. I told him to blame needing the photos on his niece if he was a little embarrassed by his silly wife.

This deployment was no different, though Elmo looks a little tougher this year.

One of my husband's friends captioned the photo well:
"Go ahead. Tickle me." :))

I usually don't send Elmo until the end of the deployment and he usually tries to hold out on sending a photo until he's either home or nearly home, so Elmo is always a sign that the deployment is coming to a close. (A much nicer sign than my crazy emotions!) He sent me this yesterday to cheer me up. It worked. :adore
