Hey. Well for starters, I'm Stephanie, and my husbands name is Andrew. We had known eachother since we were little little kids. I was named after his step mother, we used to go to school together and then we lost touch after he had moved. I know it sounds a little stupid, but we found eachother again on Myspace lol. We used to "go out" in middle school, and it didn't work out as we had planned. But when we came into contact again, we both said it was just different. We started seeing eachother again and hit it off right away. It was fate, I'm telling you. lol. We talked about getting married, when and how we would do it. and at first I told him I REFUSED to get married unless I had my dream wedding. BUT that didn't happen haha. We decided to get married in the courthouse and then after he comes back from deployment, then he would come home, and we would have the big ceremony that I wanted. So it worked out I guess. I think I'm actually happier with that decision it was fast and easy. And it doesn't change the way I feel about him, bc as long as I'm with him, then I'm perfect. If you're thinking about doing the courthouse thing, then go for it. Just hold off on the big ceremony, I think it's a lot less stress that way too. I'm not having an issue at all! If you have more questions, then feel free to ask. :) bc I'm sure I probably left something out haha. and thanks. It took me foreverrrrrrrr to figure out how to get my page the way I wanted it lol.
Lindsey-
I'm so happy Julian is home with you and about your future plans with him. How exciting for the both of you! where is he stationed and for how much longer will he be there?
My bf will be home for X-mas in 2 weeks. He is still in Power School in South Carolina. If all goes well he will be graduating on January 22 and then off to Prototype school. We are planning on getting married sometime next year but not sure what month. All I know is that Navy doesn't give you much time to work all that out. I honestly don't know how you do it when he is underway..I am dreading the day he leaves. I am barely getting by now and I can't imagine not being able to talk to him for who knows how long. I'm just too weak. I love him so much and I will do whatever it takes to get through this. Like I have probably said before, Having a support system truly does help. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have this site. I'm so glad to hear you both are doing well.
Hey Lindsey, How are you? Its been a long time since we talked. I never got back to you!! All I can say is that I miss my bf and I want him home now. lol. What is new with you? How is your sailor doing? I hope all is well Lindsey..take care=)
hey girl your sailor is home!!??? :) thats awesomeeeee. Alex should be home within the next few weeks. willl have been 4 months since i've seen him!!! I am SO excited. we're getting married when he gets home ahhhh!!!! i got my dress it's all coming together! He called me from Hawaii and I balled my little eyes out. I couldn't even speak. I was SO surprised to hear from him and when I heard the ring tone I just thougt it was some sick joke. Ahhh. my AIM in haampttondreams but i'm barely ever on. Find me on facebook or myspace. Christine Fox
hey girl, I got my first email from Alex today :) thank GOD. I was frantically checking like 10 times a day, and when I wasn't expecting it, BOOM. Made me so happy. I hope you're survivng this underway thing, it is NOT easy. But not as hard as I thought...He says he's liking it down there. So I'm happy. <3 keep in touch
Sorry I am just checking into all my groups so sorry for the late reply. As far as I know yes but we will see. Things always change. Thank you for the comment about my family.
Hey Lindsey. So now we're thinking of getting married in January on the beach with a JP all bundled up lol. We found a guy who wont accept a penny from military couples so that'll be nice. Then we can get started on my health care and finding housing and BAH and everything. We'll still do the church and everything in April- even though we'll already be married! Haha oh my how plans change. Alex leaves any day now so we're just trying to act like it's not happening and video chat as much as possible. He got a roomate for the first time last week so that's been a pain, he's always there. God I can't wait til Christmas to see his adorable face at the airport and hug him for hours.
I'm in the library at school right now. So relaxing. Just handed in my senior writing portfolio so I'm just dying for the next 60 days to pass so I can be OUT OF COLLEGE AHHHH I can't wait haha. Started my application to a grad school in WA last night, scaryyy...
It's hard to talk wedding with your boy when you don't have a ring on your finger huh? I don't either and I'm sick of people asking to see it. It's like, we're Navy girlfriends, we've been fiances since he left for boot camp lol.
To answer your question, a paraeducator is a special education aide in a public school. Right now I work for Easter Seals and the program is private. They have branches in WA though thank God! Maybe I can transfer easily...We'll see.
Hey,
My name is Jessi, I'm currently waiting lol in Orange County for my husband Mike to get his orders for me to move out there. I've actually never been there but mike says it's really nice so we shall see lol We met in 10th grade so in April we will have been together for 9 years!! Married for four years. We've always lived in La oc or las vegas and i've heard that grotons tiny so i'm a lil nervous haha. I do medical billing in ophthamology(eyes), so I'll also be hitting the job hunting trail when I get there!!What's your guys story??It would be awesome to know someone before I move!! It's hard meeting new girlfriends lol :) mike always tells me "talk to girls when your at the gym" lol goD WHAT DOES HE KNOW?? What do you do besides acting??
Hi Lindsey! Honestly some days are hell! The hardest was last week for 3 days days he could send e-mails, but wouldn't receive what I sent to him. He was really worried,and thought that I was mad at him. I felt so bad! But, we got that taken care of so, it's a lot better now! Since he left in late July, I have got one phone call. It was an hour long, so it was really nice. My only secret is to find girls that have dealt with a deployment already, or ones that are going through it now. They will be so helpful and supportive! You will always have me to turn to!
That is so awesome how close you are to him! Brandon is stationed 7 hours away, and bless his heart he still came home almost every weekend! We are also planning on getting married in May. We just chose the date of May 29th last night. He say's it the final date, but I want to wait until I have my ring until I start planning. The hardest thing about Brandon being away is that it's going to happen again, and again. It kills me to know that goodbye is always in our future. I'm glad that this deployment cam right after Brandon was finished with A-School so I got a good idea of what it'll be like. I know how hard it is not to think about his deployment, but you really need to try and be thankful that it is only 6 weeks longs.Brandon will be gone a total of 6 months. I still have to think it could be worse, at least Brandon is not in Iraq, and I feel that he is somewhat safe. I'm not trying to be mean at all, I'm here to help you with what you are going through. Everyone is facing their own challenges and we as military girlfriends need to be there for each other!
Hi Lindsey! I'm so sorry it has taken SO long to respond, i'm not sure if you even remember sending me a friend request! It was way back on August 6th and I haven't been on in the longest time!
HI Lindsey,
I saw you were asking about wives in Groton and I am moving to Groton at the beginning of November..Is that where your at??I'm in Ca right now so it's going to be quite a move! lol
That would be absolutely wonderful. :)
His name is Stuart. We met last December through a mutual friend and began hanging out. By January we were dating...I had always seen him at school and thought he wa really cute but I never had the guts to go talk to him....haha Around March or April his father started talking to him about the navy. He made the decision to go in May I believe. We had an amazing summer and tried our best to spend as much time as possible together. When he left at the end of last month is was really rough, but we're gonna make it through. I guess we've only known each other for about 10 months, but it feels so much longer....haha Oh &I got my first call from him today with his ship and div #s as well as his PIR date. I'm sooo excited. :)
How about you? I see you're getting married soon?? CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats on the job and the engagement and everything! 2010 is soon...get married in April we can plan together!!! Yes we're going for traditional. About 225 people whoa! Originally it was just us at a chapel or a Justice of the Peace but my dad was all aboard so we're going for it. I want everything as cheap as possible, homemade flowers, i do hair,makeup and nails anyways, homemade centerpieces (alex wants beta fish bowls and flowers and floater candles! haha) all that stuff. It's about the marriage not the wedding I keep telling people. Having some corn chowder now. NH is just lovely right now with the foliage. An October wedding would be amazing!!! Alex leaves soon ( can't share dates and what not) but he should be back for Christmas and if not then early early January. I absolutely can not wait. Time has been flying by so I hope it'll go even faster while he's underway. Ugh. Scary. I sent him a boat load of cards to open with "open me on..." dates. I miss him so so so much it's getting real hard but exciting. can't wait to start my new life (with him) out there. I wanna be a paraeducator in a private school. My special ed job is killing me here. I'm at work at 6:30 am. And it's just hell. Sometimes it rocks but like yesterday we were in quarantine for the flu...and IIIII was one of the lucky staff to have to work it. Yay. Bangor Navy Base here I come!
