Changing Plans

By -
Some of you may know already that instead of getting out of the Marines this October, Steve has been extended for a few more months to go on one more deployment.

This all came about quite suddenly and although this is not [my] first choice, it is what was needed. We made it through being separated for 3 1/2 years so this too we will survive.

Steve left on September 8th and made the long journey to an undisclosed location where he will be stationed for the next 6(ish) months.

I ask for you all to keep us in your prayers, for Steve to be kept safe and for the time to go by quickly for the both of us.

    Praying for you both. I can't even imagine how hard this must be, but I know with God all things are possible.

The Fast-Forward to NOW

Hello everyone! I have decided to start a blog specific to the adventures of Steve my new life together. Yes, it will be about both Steve and I but I will probably be the main one posting ;) As I just graduated college in December, I finally was able to move out to California to be with Steve again after a 3 1/2 year long-distance relationship.  It was a long journey to this point but everything we went through made us stronger as a couple. We also finally had our wedding in February which was great! We appreciate everyone who made the journey out to Texas to celebrate with us and thank everyone who could not make it but sent well wishes. If you haven't seen pictures yet, you can see some of them on our photographer's blog HERE or you can see all of them HERE . We also had a videographer at the wedding but the video is not yet ready so when it is I will share it on here. Since graduating college, I have been searching for a job in San Diego and it took longer ...

Hello from a distant land.

Hey everybody its me, the MR. So I'm here safe and sound deployed to a far away land full of sand, heat, snakes, scorpions, and good times. It's been pretty hard to adjust to a time schedule but I've already forgotten what day it is. It seems that my days have started to run together and its only been 2 weeks... I think. My days are fast paced and very busy, and I have to keep it that way, otherwise I'll start missing my ole lady :) and my baby pups. Well things are going to be picking up soon but I'm glad I finally got to at least contribute to our little story here. Until next time peeps, who knows when that will be. Peace from the Middle East.

It's been too long...

Before I go a whole year without posting, I figured I should update our blog with all of the fantastic, incredible, exciting things we've been up to...well something like that. We are definitely enjoying being in Austin but between work and school, we don't have too much time for much else. I hit my 1 year mark of being with Kia in June and a year ago, man, I could have never even imagined that I would be here today. I didn't realize at the time but I was being presented with the best opportunity I have had thus far. Steve started back to school in August and is doing everything online now. He is working to get his Bachelors in IT Cyber Security. I am so thankful that he has the military to pay for his education! We've taken up gardening and are growing (trying to grow) tomatoes, spinach, pineapple, lemons, cilantro, parsley and basil. Some are more successful than others but our very first tomato has just popped out so we're really excited to be able to eat f...
