    Name: dyzgoneby
    Location: California, United States

    I am married to a wonderful Marine and a mother of 5 darling children. Sniper has been home from his second tour in the Shitbox since July 2006. This will be my rants, raves and rumblings with my life with him as a Marine Wife, him dealing with life post Iraq and the Marine Corps next adventure for us. At times I may whine, I may cry and there maybe times I just don't make any sense and you think WTF. These are my feelings and my feelings alone. If you don't like what I have to say, click the "X" in the right corner and move on. Thank a vet for having that choice. If not, sit back and enjoy the peak into my crazy world.

    Sniper Received my Valentine's Day Box

    I heard from Sniper this afternoon. It was 2 am his time. I told him he should have been sleeping instead of talking on the phone. Nope, he was in his office doing admin work. That's ok, my benefit. He is in great spirits. I forgot to ask about his leg....opps. He received my valentines day box I sent him. It had the pillow case in it I made for him. He loved it, but he couldn't figure out how I made it. I told him and he was just laughing. (It felt good to hear him laugh)

    It was a pillow case with my chest imprinted on it in paint. Yep, I painted my chi-chi's (It was very messy and I had it everywhere.) I then painted my lips, the ones on my face (dirty minds) and placed kisses all over it.

    He told me he had to buy a pillow for it. Nope, it's in a box coming his way (I mailed it 3 weeks ago). He gave me another list of stuff and I already ran out and bought it. The highest priority is a phone card. He won't be able to call out until he gets it. I will mail it in a letter tomorrow. He told me he is getting all the stuff I sent him. I did ask if anyone else is sending him stuff and he said his mom and sister had sent them a few motomail letters and one from his dad, other than that no. He said his family didn't send much the last time either. But he is getting lots of stuff everyday....from me and my daughter. That made me feel good.

    We also talked about my job a little. It felt so good to hear his voice. I think I have figured him out with the phone calls. If he keeps going the was he has been, I can expect one about every 7 to 8 days. Again, I won't hold my breath, I don't want to pass out.

    Our phone conversation again this time was cut off.....mid conversation. Those stupid f*ckin phones. He was on his last few minutes of his last phone card. Damn I hated that phone card. I am never going to to get used to this bullshit. I was able to talk to him for about 11 minutes though. YEAH!!!!

    Okay lady. ONe big comment from the other computer fanatic. Sounds like the birthday was great. I am happy that you guys do things as a family. I am trying to work on that one with my husband's oldest child's mother. Works only sometimes on our side.

    Good luck on the job and I am sure you are going to tell us all about it. I sure hope so. I am excited for you.

    Yeah it is kind of a freaky feeling when you are violated like that. In time that thought will subside and things will go back to somewhat normal. I am sure when Sniper comes home you are going to be so happy.

    Hey, I'm glad to hear that he got the box, it's always a good feeling when they FINALLY get what you send. Go girl...paint those things on that pillow case,I'm sure he really liked it-lol

    I was reading and reading and then was laughing because you were all nice and then the last paragraph you start talking smack! Yeah, it really sucks when the phones cut you off like that and you don't get to say ILU or whatever it is that you want to say. Glad you heard from him and you guys had a great conversation.

    Stay strong, he'll be home soon!
