A Lonely Newlywed

Welp, I've gone and done it. Started a blog. Life as a Marine Corps wife has already taken me far from friends and family and I think this will be a way to help stay in touch and connected.

On May 8 of this year I married the love of my life, Scott.

On May 26, Scott left for his first deployment, Afghanistan.
Lame? yes. Not fair? correct. Upsetting? very.

There's nothing I can do other than accept that deployments will be part of my married life. It certainly isn't what I dreamed of as a little girl, but I am beyond proud, honored, and humbled to be married to a man who has chosen to serve his country.

Here are a few more pictures from the wedding to lift my spirits as of now.

My nails, shoes, and flowers of course had to be PINK, my favorite color

Myself and some of my sorority sisters, I felt so blessed that so many could share in the day
