Navy Wife

Yesterday was so much fun! Our friend Julie who is a wonderful photographer took us to Carmel by the Sea, and took pictures of Aaron and I for me! I really wanted pictures taken while we were here of Aaron in his uniform by the beach and when I saw how beautiful Julie's pictures were i had to ask her to do them! I am so thankful for all the military wives I have met they REALLY are a true blessing to me. They have really helped me get into military life and know what to expect and want not to do! Even how not to wash Aaron's uniforms lol. Julie was telling me in the car yesterday how someone had the nerve to tell her and a group of military wives that we are not part of the military...needless to say that person was feeling very brave that day. I feel that just because we are not in uniform we have a very hard job and are as much in the military as our husbands. We are the one who wash, iron and make sure that crease in the pant is just right. We are the ones who cook clean and sometimes even hold down a full time job so out husbands don't have to worry about money. We are also the ones who wait on our husband to come home from war for months at a time, so that this country can have their freedom. So for all of you who think we wives are not part of the military you are dead wrong. Sometimes I think how that day is going to be when I have to smile and wave as my husband pulls out on that ship, and know that i can't cry in front of him, I don't like to think about it but know that that day will probably come..i know that it will be one of the hardest things i have to do, but I know that my husband is doing something great and I would not want it any other way.
