Favorite Quotes

A military wife... a military life is not known until it is lived. You may think you know but you don't until you actually live it. Sometimes it's easy and great. Other times it's depressing and lonely. But only a certain number of ladies can endure what we endure and we wouldn't trade it for the world. Because we stand for something and love what we stand for.
Behind every strong military man stands an even stronger woman, who supports him and loves him with every beat of her heart.
Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Coast Guard Wife... it's not my status, it's my life long promise to him.

Loving a military man is one of those always fustrating, not as romantic as it sound, dont get it unless you've lived it, undescribably perfect kinds of love.
Military relationships are the product of many tears born both in happiness and despair. They are nights alone wondering where he is, and if he's safe. It's looking at pictures, knowing that it's the only way I can see his face, calling my voicemail to hear his voice, and not washing his clothes until they've lost his scent. But it's all worth it in the end because I know I have one of the purest loves in the world because my man truly knows the meaning of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. Not only to the military but to me. And that makes everything worthwhile.
Some people search their whole life trying to find true love. I got lucky and found my best friend, hero, and husband.
Sometimes I pretend to be normal. But it gets boring. So I go back to being me.
There is strong. There is Coast Guard strong. Then there is Coast Guard wife strong.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. - II Corinthians 5:17
To be a military wife you have to be crazy, but in love, fearful, but strong, able and willing.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. - Proverbs 3:5
We might not have it all together but together we have it all.
Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't claim to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean. - Bob Marley
