    My Photo
    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.

    Enjoying Life

    Sunday morning, Sniper is asleep behind me, Bubba is asleep in the other room and Lego Man and Drama Queen are with there dad. All is good. I have my family all around me.

    The last few weeks have been exceptionally wonderful (Sniper is here for a few weeks on leave).

    It has been grand to wake-up in the morning in Sniper's arms. Kiss his lips before I leave for work and have his comforting arms to come home to. Come home and have my family around me. The love of my life and my kids. To come home and spend time doing just normal family things. You know, cook dinner, do homework, clean-up, spend quality "Family" time "together."

    I can tell you, since Sniper has been home, I have not been as lazy as I have been the last few months. Having him home has kicked my ass. He has kept me running. To the point, I have been falling asleep by 2000 (even on a Saturday night). A big part of that, I believe, I am feeling completely safe and secure with him here.

    I know this will be short lived and the next few weeks will fly by, but I am going to revel in it while I can. I am not going to think about at the end of the month, life going back to the way it has been for the last few years. The way life will continue on for the next few/several months. I am going to be positive, think positive and just enjoy the "here and now."

    Then pray for the following months to fly by. At least until April when I again will revel in the "us" time again and the day we say "I do" and finally become "Husband and Wife."

    Until then, I am just "Enjoying Life" with the man of my dreams and our family.

    Sniper, I love you forever and a day!

    if only one good thing comes out of the time sniper has spent in the sandbox and the years you spent apart still loving one another, its to enjoy every little thing every single day with the ones you love.

    thanks for reminding me of that simply joy, too!

    love ya chickie!

    Hey Dyz!
    You're posting more than I have recently, so don't feel so bad. I broke my home computer, so I have to sneak in time at work during my busiest time of the year. I hear you on the feeling safe because he's here front, and the waking up with my man next to me. My honey surprised me and came in for a week at Christmas. Totally knocked me off my feet! It was heavenly... pure and simple. Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. And I *know* you understand.

    We're also struggling with the possibility of not living together when we get married. We've set at date at the end of September, but he can't/won't move up here until he has a job secured. *sigh* Don't know what I'm going to do about that. I'm sending you a picture of us from this weekend's Dining Out experience at Ft. Gordon. SO damn cool!
