    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.

    The Answer Everyone is Waiting For

    Maybe I should let you in on "What Happened in Vegas."

    We both had talked about getting married this last weekend while down in Vegas. We are both already married in our hearts. We always have been, we are just ready for it to be legal.

    Before we left, we both talked to Sniper's mom, my mom and Bubba. We made the three of them a promise, "We won't get married without our families there." Family is too important to the both of us and this is one marriage we both want all our family there, our children, our fiends and his brothers from another mother. We both want everyone to share it with us.

    My mom told us, "Sniper is the only one who ever counted. He is the only one who has ever been meant for you. Please don't do it without me there. I have to be there. It would crush me."

    On Sunday, we went around and had some fun. This is what we did.











    This was the closest we got. We never went inside. We both made promises that will not be broken. So, to answer everyone's question, NO WE ARE NOT MARRIED, only in our HEARTS!!! It took all the strength we both had not to go inside, but we both gave our word of honor.

    Throughout the weekend, the phone calls did come in from friends "Are you Married yet?" On the way home both are families called to ask. My mom told us that she was disappointed. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!! We were ready to turn around. Everyone placed bets that we would and they all lost.

    When we do get married, it will be huge. We both want that big wedding. We both have to have our families there. Until then we are married only in our hearts and mind.

    So, thank you to everyone on the congrats, best wishes and sorry to keep ya'll in suspense.

    Sniper, as hard as this last week has been on the both of us, you are my husband and I am your wife. Soon oh so very soon. There is always Vegas in November. Keep us away from the chapel's because this time I won't be able to hold back again, I just don't have that kind of strenght in me. I don't want to go another day without you by my side as my hubby even though in our hearts we are already there. I love you forever and a day.

    You know what? DROP AND GIVE ME 20!!! I thought this was going to be the post with a picture of you and a big rock on your left hand.

    I had to do it.....When we took the pictures, the first thing out of my mouth to Sniper, was I couldn't wait to post with pics with "Can you guess what we did?"

    Don't worry, the real pics will be worth the wait.

    I don't have a big family. When I got married the first time, we didn't tell anyone we were doing it. My sister was very very sad she missed it and I felt really bad about it. The second time (and this will be the last!), it was another small wedding but I made sure she was there as my maid of honour.
