Kassi was in town this past week visiting family from Houston and came to Arlington to see me too! We had already planned to get together with some of the other ladies while she was here; a few I had met about a month ago at the Trace Adkins free concert at the base. So, she had yet to meet these ladies. We set up lunch for last week and headed to Abuelo's. Along with Wimberley, Justine, and Katie. Wimberley's fiance is currently deployed, set to come home in about 2 weeks. Justine's hubby is in Japan for, I think, the next 6-7 months. She's staying in Mansfield with her parents. Katie's boyfriend is in California at language school and finds out soon where he will be stationed. We definitely all bring something different to the table ; )
Kassi is a picture taking freak, lol, but in a good way. She snapped one of me and my Presley, and it came out so cute!
Here's me, Kassi, Justine, and Katie, with Wimberley taking the picture.
Not like Eloy has done much with the Corps, but this group of women are amazing. No one like themselves knows what the Corps is like. Such as now...Eloy leaves Sunday for AT in California for 2 weeks (BOO!) But, that 2 weeks is a drop in the bucket compared to what others experience. Eloy tried to go to range school in July, for 6-8 weeks, and would put him home Sept 5th. uhmm, HELLO!? My due date is Sept 11th, you're not going ANYWHERE! So, that was rescheduled. But, the Marines do that. They take you from your life and expect you to deal. Which you do, but these ladies know firsthand what it's like. Yes, friends and family can only be so supportive, especially if they've never known someone or experienced it firsthand. I'm brand new at this active duty lifestyle, so I really appreciate all their advice and stories they tell.
I don't have fake friends anymore!!
Yay fake friends! I won't lie, I got a little teary eyed reading this one. You're just as much a Marine wife and a trooper as we are!! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm not one of your fake friends since my husband is no longer a leatherneck! I am glad that Eloy will not be gone while you are in labor! Come on over while he is in Cali and bring your sewing maching too! I think I am going to go try and make some headbands with the leftover fabric from the dressses right now! I am getting into this sewing thing I think!
