I have a lot of military wife friends no not at all not at all for some reason. I I am just not like a people person. I don't have the best track record with making friends. I usually just keep to myself um. I met my best friend in the entire world she's the bestest friend. That I've ever had in my entire life like. I said in Hawaii and um. She literally makes up for all of the friends. That I do not have I've also made an amazing friend here in California but I am NOT like a super good friend making person so yeah. I also find that a lot of wives can just be. I don't know like.

They should probably just like myself like. They just don't know how to make friends and that's probably why I don't have friends it's because everybody's like. I don't know what to do here next question. What is the hardest part military life so like. I said um the hardest part so far was my husband being deployed. I feel like. He was deployed at any other time in our marriage. It wouldn't have been as hard but I had just had a baby my our son was a month old. He found out. He was getting deployed and he left. When my son was not. Even four months old and you know it's like. We were married.

These three whole years before. This and we didn't have kids and you could have totally deployed and it I feel like. It would have been. More easy to handle. It was just. Me on my own. You know struggling through him being away and him just being away from. Me but it was just. I feel like. It was so much harder. Because we had a son. We have this new little person in our lives and he had to you know say goodbye to me and a little baby in it it sucked and it was really hard and I'm gonna try not to cry about it sorry um but yeah. It that's honestly like the hardest thing that we've ever gone through and I am scared to have. More kids honestly in the future. Because I don't. I don't ever want to have.

Another child and then have my husband say like hey. I have to leave again and him missing out again and me trying to raise kids on my own like it's hard so that's that's the hardest thing that we've ever had to deal with yeah I'm gonna sorry I'm gonna start. When do you own military wife's stuff um. I think I own probably like. I own a sweatshirt. That says the USMC on it I have a shirt and you have to like Marine shirts and that's it yeah. I don't have much. Because people like judge. You aware stuff. That has to do with. You being proud of your husband so. I don't like to be judged. I don't know. When people just look down on it so. I don't really like to wear stuff like. That I just don't wear a lot of it next and the last question do. You support your spouse as a member of the military and yes. I support my husband and anything he does.

He wasn't in the military. I would still support him a hundred percent with. Anything that he does. Even outside of his career and outside of the military. I always am supportive of anything that he wants to do in his life. Because I love him and I will be supportive of anything that he does and I am 100% always have been and always will be a proud wife of my husband and his career in the military and everything that he does and gives up to support. Us as a family. You made it this far through my video thank you for watching so much. You do have a channel.

I plan on filming a base housing how store so. I can show you what our house looks like here at Pendleton so. If you're interested in that please look out for that sometime next week so the next question is how long were. We married we had to go through our first separation separation. We I don't even know. Because we've been like separated so. Many times just from him like going to the field or long distance etc so as far as being separated like. It happens all the time. We actually. We got married. We were married and then.

We were together for two days after. We got married and then. He went back to his duty station and I went back home and we were long-distance an for about six months so our first two days of marriage. We were together and then the friends and the rest of those first six months of our marriage. We were completely apart so as far as like separation and stuff. That happens. All the time but as far as like deployment wise. We were together for about I guess like four years before. He had to deploy. I got really lucky and the unit. That he was in for the first like three years of our marriage was not deployable so. I didn't have to ever worry about him being deployed and then. We came to California and we're here for probably about a year and we found out. He was getting deployed and he just came back a year ago.

This month so he's been home for a year already and it literally does not seem like. It at all and anyway like the time has flown by since. He was out since he's been home but when. He was gone like oh my gosh time just drags on so yeah that's so crazy next question is what is my favorite base so far so. I have only lived at two bases the first. One that I lived out with my husband was Marine Corps Base Hawaii which I I don't. I don't know.

If it's my favorite. I don't really know. I have a favorite like before. We got married. I would always go visit my husband. He worked in North Carolina at Cherry Point and I we fell in love there. We met there. I have so much love for that place just North Carolina in general. Because that's where. We met and fell in love but Hawaii is where. I met my other soulmate my best friend in the entire world and I will always have a special place in my heart for that place. Because it you know. It gave me my my husband's like first house together our first Christmas like my. You know first best friend through the military and you know. We have talked literally probably almost every day since we've met and I don't. Even know who I would be today without her so.

That base as well and then California. I love California in general. I love living here Disneyland being so close to us is a huge loss but um but being here. I also got pregnant and gave birth to my son and his entire life has mostly been here in California and it's just there are so. Many good things about. Each place that I have been and lived in so far so. I don't know that I can say. I really have a favorite but yeah. I don't I can't pick. Because I love everywhere. That I have gone so far because of his career so yeah. I think my husband looks good in his uniform always every day of course there's never a day. He doesn't look goodness. You know boys question do. I like the benefits. I receive it as a military dependent uh they're the only reason. I married just kidding um do. I like them yes. I appreciate. Everything that I have and receive just because of my husband's job but there's with his job like. It I appreciate.

Everything that we get like healthcare and you know different things like. That but as far as his job. He also has to sacrifice a lot and is it worth. It to receive those benefits or would. More worth it to have had him home instead of across the world. He could have been home and seeing all of my sons. You know firsts the first time. He crawled the first time. He ate food and all of those things like there's benefits. When you're married to someone in the military but there's also so. Many sacrifices. That you have to make as far as like being separated and you know long hours and you don't really get to decide things. Because it's always being decided for you and I'm always appreciative of everything that we have and that we get because of his job but I also wish. That we that we didn't have to that we didn't. That we don't have to and that my husband didn't have to sacrifice so much just for those benefits so are. They worth it you know do.

We didn't live together or anything he got promoted about two years ago and I went to his ceremony and I actually helped pin his new Chevron's on his uniform and that was the most nerve-wracking thing I've ever done in my entire life it's just like. I felt so out of place and like why am. I doing this like. I feel like. I don't know what I'm doing and it was just so awkward and nerve-wracking like. I was just so nervous. Because they felt like I'm gonna do. Something wrong and like. All these people are here watching me it was so scary but I did. It and it was fine and um I'm pretty sure. If he's promoted again in the future.

That I would be there again -. I try to go to any like important things. That have to do with his job just to be there and support him so means a lot to me. That I was able to be there and that he asked. Me to help pin him. That day because. It was so a sweet gesture. That he asked. Me to do that and I felt very proud of him. That day so yeah. I always try to make. It to anything important like. That for his job okay next question. How long having been a military wife so. We have been married almost five years like. We said so almost five years coming up in June we'll be five so like for a little over four and a half did.

You marry him before or after. He joined like. It was after. He was already and when. We met and one like. He was about to actually get out of the military and he decided to stay in so um. He re-enlisted and then. We dated for about two years and then. We got married. How did he propose so the official proposal. He came to Arizona to visit. Me and he was gonna be spending probably like a week and a half in Arizona. He came out to meet my family. Because he never had before and it was his first time visiting me as opposed to me going to North Carolina to visit him so. He came out to visit. Me and he took. Me and my mom and my aunt on a trip to Disneyland he'd brought my mom and my aunt as well so.

That they could be there to see the proposal so. He took us to Disneyland and he proposed to me in front of the castle and that's probably it's kind of a long story so. That will be a story for another day. Another video kind of that pertains to me and my husband but um yeah. He proposed to me in front of my castle and it was like literally my dream proposal. Because I love Disneyland so much so. He gave me the perfect proposal and I would not change a thing about it so. How old were. You two you got married so. I was 21 years old. Me which is kind of funny. Because I was younger. I always said like. I always said like in my head like. I get married. I want to be 21 like. I feel like that's the perfect age. It was for some reason to me like.

That was the perfect age to just get married and start a life with. Someone and it just happened to turn out. That way that I was 21. We actually got married so. I always thought. That was kind of funny and my husband. I believe was 24 wait maybe. He was about to turn 25 he's like three and a half years older. Me so sometimes like before his birthday and after my birthday it'll be like it'll sound like we're four years apart. When it's really still three and a half and then. I don't know it's so confusing I have to like sit and think about it I pull out a calculator so bad with numbers so yeah um so. I think I was 21 and he was probably 24 about to turn 25 yeah.

That sounds right um so the next question is did. He wear his uniform on our wedding day and he did. He wore his dress blues and I wore a plain little ugly white dress from forever 21 and yeah. I had worn something else. That day but whatever so the next question is do. We live on base and yes. We do live on base. We always have um. I just feel. More comfortable living on base. Because if my like my husband has to leave. All the time. Whether it's him working long days or coming home late from work or having to go to the field. I always just have preferred to live on base. Because I feel a little bit safer as opposed to if. I were to live out in town and my husband was gone for two weeks straight. I don't know. I just for some reason. I just tend to feel a little bit. More safe living on base so. We have always lived on base um speaking of which this weekend.

Because we talked in March after my birthday son is already 19. How long have. We been together six years married no. We haven't feels like. It 40 it's gonna be five. This year in June yes so he's correct so over four it's almost five four stolen. You said six first so you're already wrong. How long have. We been together period not married seven years okay so my husband actually went downstairs with my son so I'm just gonna hang to the right sort of questions by myself. Because my son has not taken in Apia and he is in like crazy mode right now so the next question is where are. You and your spouse originally from so I'm from Arizona.

I am from southern Arizona in a city called Tucson. I was born and raised there like my entire life and my husband is from a city outside of Cincinnati called Milford and Ohio the next question is how did. You feel about him joining the military. We met after the fact so. I didn't have. Any feelings. Because he was already in um I'll just changed. That too how did. I feel about him being in the military. I didn't want to really date him to be honest. Because I just looked at it as like him being in the military like. I was like there's no way we're gonna be able to have a relationship make. It last because it's already long-distance and then there's a whole other aspect too long to the long distance. He can't just get up and leave and come visit.

Whenever he wants to kind of things so. I was like um maybe. This isn't a good idea but here. We are seven years later so the next question is where did my spouse go to basic training so. He went to boot camp at Parris Island in South Carolina has. He ever been deployed uh yes I'm trying to think of how. Many times I think for three. He was just deployed recently but that's the only deployment. That he has been on since we've been together so as far. Many he's been on like before. I don't really know. Because I did know before but I can't remember so yeah I'm just gonna say three or four. I don't know okay so next question is have. I ever been to his promotion ceremony so. I have only been to one since we've been together he's been promoted twice and when. He was promoted the first time. We weren't married.
