My tumblr is mostly just a compilation of thoughts, pictures, complaints, joys, that come with my fiance being deployed, and our journey with the Marine Corps. Hopefully I will soon be able to change "fiance" to "husband" :) Thanks for reading!
Hope it doesn’t explode.
Unfortunately, with all the news making the men and women in uniform out to look like they disrespect Afghan people, it’s no wonder people question whether they are really being held to any standards at all. However, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta describes, “for every one incident that we sometimes read about and the kind of atrocious behavior that we all condemn, there are a hundred incidents where our people have helped Afghans, where they have performed courageously in battle…”
So no, the military is not deteriorating, there are just a few exceptions that make everyone look bad. This is a comforting fact.

It’s all I think about, constantly. Him him him. It comes in the morning, it comes at night. Like a flood of nonsensical feelings and emotions. Sometimes I cry, sometimes I laugh and sometimes I just smile. I love knowing there is someone out there wanting me just as badly as I want them. Even though we’re hardly together, I crave him more than ever. I want to drive to Florida now, wrap myself in his arms and just be as selfish as I want with his time. I couldn’t finish this semester sooner.
