What all Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Coasties should know about their girl....

Found this on TUMBLR ...wow...whoever did these pretty much hit it on the spot ...most of them anyways :)

1. If she wasn't emotional before, that is all about to change
2. You getting a higher rank could just mean an automatic free lay.
3. Get her a pair of your dog tags, ASAP, This is crucial, she will never take them off.
4. Most of the time, you losing reception during training is your fault (Though, she will eventually understand)
5. Most of the time, everything is your fault. (this especially goes for when she is pregnant)
6. She WILL start talking like your guys and your talk, including using your last name
7. Her patriotism could out-do most of your men...she will be proud...VERY PROUD
8. Be Ready: your car will end up with a yellow ribbon magnet or an "I Love My _____" sticker eventually.
9. She will most likely need a pair of dog tags to hang from the car's rearview mirror
10. Every week she'll have "another song" that makes her think of you when you're away. ( And she'll cry to it, even when you're in the same room)
11. If youre married, she may know the base better than you do...Dont take it personal.
12. You will catch her comparing your relationship with "other couples" in the military constantly
13. She'll make 5 million friends online, and talk to you about them all the time because her "old friends just dont understand" like they do
14. Don't be shocked when she just drops civilian chicks out of her life like flies. (she mostly does this when they complain to her)
15. DO NOT if you love her, say anything about you not wanting to make her wait for you....
16. Most women actually do LOVE it when you are sweaty and dirty, even the girlie girls. It's sexy as hell
17. Only bring up the field once, say it clear, and dont bring it up again. We will remember the time, the dates, like stone inside our mind. Dont remind us
18. You ARE our hero. That isn't us being cute, its us swelling with pride, feeling like a princess everytime we glance over and you're standint there
19. Don't worry about waking her up when you get a chance to call, trust me, she's NOT sleeping. If she is, she's been waiting for you to call all night, and fell asleep next to the phone
20. Leave atleast 3 of your shirts for her...she'll wear them all the time and if she doesn't wear them out she WILl wear them to sleep
21. No matter what she was like before, she is tough & harder than a rock now. She can handle anything, she will get through it, tears, or no tears
22. Don't be discouraged or taken back from her strength. It comes with the territory. When in your arms, she's still your princess, soft and sweet.
23. Your kids might see mommy as the one in charge for a while, it's okay, they WILL respect you, just give it time
24. EVERYTHING in her life will be complicated, so she might actually need your support and encouragement.
25. Tag chasers are her WORST enemy, she CAN and WILL spot these girls...random profain comments may come out of your little queens mouth...its okay, she's protecting her best asset...you.
26. She will spend hours to look good on cam & pics for you, this is just a past-time until you get home, be prepared for messy ponytails and comfy pants when you finally do get home
27. Her favorite sentences from you start with "when i get home" or "when i get out"
28. No matter how much she's changed, never forget that you mean the world to her, she loves you more than anything, and you will ALWAYS be her hero...wheather you think are one or not.

another one...

of those days. i miss my sweet boyfriend, i think i have a stupid kidney infection and my heart hurts.....
September 1st my BIL lost a close friend. Travis Amsbaugh. Today they are laying him to rest. Not only was he an amazing Marine, but an amazing person. Travis could put a smile on anyones face, & he was definately the life of the party. Never a dull moment around him...I didnt spend alot of time with him, but the times we did hangout ill never forget. Watch over us bud, you'll be missed by many but never forgotten.

"There'll be two dates on your tombstone and all your friends will read 'em but all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em."

7/21/85---9/1/11

I miss my best friend

I hate this. I hate that I can't just pick up the phone and call him when im havnig a bad day, because he's the one that always makes it better. I hate that I can't see that smile of his that makes my world so much better. I miss his hugs, his kisses, his hands holding mine, and most of all, I miss the way he loves me and makes me feel like im the only person in this world for him, but what i LOVE is that he makes me feel that way from 11,000 miles away. I Love you Garett <3

another one down

"She packs. She moves. She follows. Why? What for? You may think she has lost her mind. But actually, she's lost her heart. It was stolen by her man. A man who puts duty first, who longs to deploy, who salutes the flag, and whose boots in the doorway remind her that it takes one hell of a person to do what he does & she will FOREVER stand by his side." <3
-absolutely love this. it says so much. and its exactly how i feel.

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.
I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I love you for that part of me you bring out.


Today's been somewhat of a good day i guess.
I've been thinking ALOT about our future today for some reason.
I can't wait to see where things go when he gets back.
Im so ready to get out of this shit hole of a town and be with him.
Im pretty much over everyone here, my job, and just everything.
-im tryin so hard to keep my head up about this, So hard, if he only knew, i fake a smile and laugh everyday but all i really wanna do is breakdown...i DONT like this at all :(
its actually going by pretty fast, we are about to be 1 month down, and it feels like he just left so i guess thats a positive in this whole thing.
o well...gotta keep moving along, and supporting him ...


iLOVEyouGarett <3

today...

is another one of those days.

its been shitty...i just wanna go home & go to sleep, actually go home, talk to my love, and then go to sleep.
im so ready for him to get his laptop...its been almost a month without seeing his face, and i miss it SO much. if i didnt have pictures of him everywhere i go, id go crazy...he keeps me going...he keeps me sane...(sometimes) ;)
--WORK BLOWS & I WANNA GO HOME--
i want aug/sept to be OVER with. for some reason i want October to be here SO BAD. weddings/halloween/football. lets pray september goes by SUPER fast.

i've been listening to alot of Rock music here lately (thanks to my lover)
Five Finger Death Punch & Theory of a deadman...

i NEED to get away. this place, and everyone here is driving me completely INSANE. i want to get away, i've been thinking about going back to jacksonville, and staying at the hotel in the room we stayed at the weekend he left, just for some comfort. sounds crazy, but i want to so badly.  being back at home sucks, i have to deal with all of my parents drama...and on top of that, money issues & garett being gone, im so stressed beyond belief. I barely have an appetite anymore & im tired all of the time, all i wanna do is cry, even thinking about anything anymore can make me cry at the drop of a hat... i can't remember the last time i got a good nights sleep...probably the night before garett left. yup. that was it. i didnt have a care in the world cuddled up with him, and thats all i want to go back to, in his arms, sleeping like nothing else in this world mattered.

ON ANOTHER NOTE....
im SO ready for tiffany's bachelorette party! its gonna be so fun!
Even though, i feel so guilty for going out and partying with him being gone, BUT i know he wants me to get out and do stuff...plus, itll help the time go by faster.

...i've spent alot of time here lately with my bestest friend in the whole wide world. gah i've missed her so much, and i've forgotten how much fun we have together, and why she is my absolutely best friend (girl) bc garett is definately my best friend too....im so excited about her possibly moving to charlotte within the next couple of months. more best friend time will be exactly what i need to get through the rest of this deployment, she's definately my rock, and i dont know what i would do without her.

Anyways...i better get back to doing NOTHING at work...6pm please hurry up...

I Love You Garett <3

i can't sleep...

its 12:08 and 1)i feel like crap 2)im patiently waiting for G to get online...and 3) im tired but can't fall asleep.

welll...we are ALMOST 1 month down in this deployment. kind of exciting in a way. im guessing i got through this month...i can get through the next 6ish...hopefully he will be home end of februaryish-begining of marchish? lol. it would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G if he got to come home on my BIRTHDAY <3 i dont think i could ask for a better gift than that! ANYWAYS...

got lots going on in the next couple of months...well not so much sept, but October, Nov, and Dec will hopefully FLY by. October-wedding...2 weddings 1 weekend...its gonna be fun/crazy and also EXHAUSTING. then we can't forget about HALLOWEEN :) then Thanksgiving, Panthers football games, and CHRISTMAS :) ... im kinda looking forward to everything going on!...trying to keep my head up :)

actions speak louder...than words

I hate when he's gone, and when i dont get to talk to him, or if we get in an argument, that i can't just call him and apologize. I hate that we said our first "I Love You's" the weekend before he left, i feel like that was a huge step in our relationship and this depolyment is just in the way of stepping forward and seeing where this is gonna go. Everyone says "oh, you'll come out stronger, and your relationship will be so much better" yea, um not believing that for one second at the moment, sometimes i feel like it and then again i dont. I HATE this deployment and everything that comes along with it, right now i feel like nothing good is coming out of it. Sounds harsh? Oh well...
When he comes back, he will have a year left...and i will support him in anything he decides to do, but it will not hurt my feelings AT ALL if he doesnt reup. I dont want to be apart from him, this long, EVER again. I hate it, and I can't say that enough. I want him home NOW. Not in 6 months, NOW!. Im so angry, hurt, i have so many fucking emotions going through me i dont know what to do with. I wanna hear his voice everynight before I go to sleep but i can't bc of this GD deployment. Right now, nothing that anyone says, not even him at times makes me feel better. I really just wanna tell people to shut the fuck up and leave me alone.

i feel sometimes it would be nice to be reassured of how he feels about me. im not saying all the time, but it would be nice every now and then.

im being selfish right now i know, but im in my "i dont give a fuck" mood right now, im pissed that 1/2 of my heart, my better 1/2 is 11000 miles away from me with shitty communication and there's nothing i can do about it...i think i have a right to be upset...
