Anonymous: why don't you ever post much anymore?

Well, I don’t have time to sit around all the time.  I work and I’m in school working on my Master’s Degree.

I do miss talking to everyone though.  Who is this?  Katie? lol.  If so, I miss you and you need to come back to Hawaii asap!

Anonymous: I just read you and your husband's story. You two are such an inspiration to military couples every where! How old were you when you got married? You guys seem like an older couple in the community.

Aww thank you!  Why anon? I have a feeling I know who this is.  

And as far as being ‘inspiration’ every couple has their own way of being a couple and different ways of handling things.  Every situation is different we just always try to make the best out of hard times!

I was 20 when we got married, and he was 23.  Still too young, but we waited a few years to plan our dream wedding.  I’m personally glad we waited, but once again everyone does things differently.  People who have ‘courthouse’ marriages are just as married as my husband and I.

Update on life

Geez, its been forever since I’ve posted anything!  Well yesterday we ‘adopted’ this gorgeous male husky, were fostering him for a month.  We’re pretty sure that after the month is over we will be giving him a forever home.  His old people are crazy!  His ‘mom’ left his dad and moved back to France with their lap dog and moved a new boyfriend into their apartment that they have there.  And his ‘dad’ has diabetes and had to have his foot amputated and then suffered a massive heart attack and just can’t take care of him right now.  SO, after this coming month we will see if he is able to take the dog back.  I will be sad to see him go.  It just seems like a godsend that we are able to even foster him.  We were one of about 20 people that emailed the organization about him.  Since we know about huskys and have one we were at the top of their list!  I was shocked.  The lady who was in charge of giving him a ‘home’ didn’t know a thing about huskys!  Granted, they are weird dogs and not for everyone- I love them and happy to have the opportunity to help this beautiful dog out and possibly give him a forever home!

Other than the dog situation.  Husband has decided that he is NOT going to reenlist.  Since the Marine Corps is going all crazy and looking for any excuse to kick people out he wants to get out while he is in good standing.  So, in a few months we will pack up everything we own and move 5,000 miles across the country to begin a new life outside of the military.  I’m excited and nervous. The military is all we have known together.  But I can’t wait to get back home to my friends and family.  So in the mean time I will soak up all the sun I can and knock out as many adventures there are left to be had on this island.

So…I was cruising around one of my friends back home’s photography page on facebook and ran across this….Honestly, I find it disgusting.  Trying to be sexy or not the uniform is for MARINES, not their wives.  What do you guys think about this?!

Cpl Garrett Carnes

On February 19, 2012, Cpl Garrett Carnes lost both of his legs in an IED explosion in Afghanistan during his second tour. Everyone who meets him is surprised at how well he is doing and how fast is body is healing. He is an amazing man and has overcome more than anyone of us could ever imagine.  He was awarded his Purple Heart by President Obama, was given a police escort and tour of the Pentagon, visited Arlington National Cemetery, and most recently was given a heroes welcome and escort becoming an honorary member of the Patriot Guard traveling from Maryland to his home town in North Carolina.


He has already begun rehab and started to walk assisted. He has made a remarkable recovery but still has a long road ahead.  Please keep praying for he and his family as he hopes to make it back to his unit’s homecoming next month.
