“If the Corps wanted you to have a wife, you’d be issued one!!” Sometimes it really feels that way. It’s not easy, always, being married in the Corps. It’s no secret there’s a high divorce rate in the military. And, like in any marriage, staying strong, close, faithful, and having the ability to evolve together…
so I’m guessing all of my faithful reading are wanting to know about the events of homecoming day. You got it! (sorry it’s taken me so long, but I have to admit it’s been great detaching from the computer and phone this past week) So, a week ago today my husband came home after 239…
