    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.

    More on the wedding.....

    I was searching on the internet last night for invitations. I didn't realize how many options and designs are out there. Then you have to start thinking of the wording. Wow....a little overwhelmed, but hey that is where I am supposed to be. I found some I like and can't wait to share them with Sniper this weekend. Yep he will be home for the weekend....YEAH!!!!

    As I was searching, something else popped up in my head that I started to think about.....the wedding night and what to wear. Don't worry I am not going to give you any specifics. Sniper reads this and I can't let him in on anything.

    As I was looking at all that is out there, my mind started to wander on what is transpiring in a few months. I started crying tears of happiness. I don't know how to express or articulate how I am feeling inside. It is hard to describe or even put into words.

    Every time I think about him or am around him, I get butterflies in the bottom of my stomach and a warm feeling comes over me. I feel the love we have for each other, with a tingling sensation from my toes all the way to the top of my head. A smile comes across my face.

    It is sinking in, this is really happening and I haven't been dreaming the last year and a half. I am marrying the man of my dreams. I have dreamed about this for the last 16 years and until last year, I thought it would always be just that a dream. Now that dream is finally coming true.

    I know we have talked about it since we reunited and discuss it all the time. But, as we start to plan and put together everything for the wedding reality has really sunken in. It really is a fairy-tale come true. It's been a long road traveled and a lot of hard work to get where we are today, but we are here, together.

    The next 5 plus months aren't going to come quick enough. I want to wake-up and it be April 21st. What is the chance of that happening? That's what I thought. I have to have patient (we all know that is not one of my strong qualities) and take one day at a time and enjoy this process together.

    He really has been a doll (did I just call him that). He has been trying to take all the stress of the wedding away from me (I really don't stress as much as I he thinks I do.....maybe I do). This week he has taken care of so much and we have paid for it all. He has made so many decisions and just taken care of it. With the nature and man he is, he has even made a timeline of what will happen when and at what time. Who is doing what and going where. Even the night before and day of, what and where I will be doing or should I say what I won't be doing. You know, helping. It's not in my vocabulary with him. He won't have it. He wants me to sit back and relax. It's a little hard, because I don't want him to stress out (we know he will anyways).

    At the rate he is going, the wedding should be dialed in in the next few weeks. Then we can sit back and count the minutes until the big day.

    WHOOO HOOO!
    It's so great to see you so happy and in love, Dyz. And to hear that Sniper is just as much into the wedding as you are is a true testiment to how much that man loves you and wants to provide you with the wedding you've been dreaming about, with him as the man of your dreams.
    Fantastic.

    I hope I'll be able to plan a wedding with my dream man soon!

    Congrats. Sorry for the delay of my responses. So much going on here too. I am so happy that you get to have a break from the planning. Sounds like all you have to do is show up. What a dream man you have there.
