About me? My husband, in my opinion; is the best thing about me. He’s my other half. Okay, maybe I’m a bit extreme, but what can I say?! I love my hubby! Lol.

As of late, and for the next three years, I currently reside on a tropical island. How lucky am I?! My husband is a Sergeant in the Marine Corps and we are currently on orders in Okinawa, Japan. We were married on September 9th, 2007. Within the past few months I have gone back to school studying to be a Dental Assistant and furthermore a Dental Hygienist.

I enjoy reading books. I think it’s really cool to learn random new facts. I think I’m kind of a tv show junkie. Watching Grey’s Anatomy is one of my addictions. Along with GA, I also enjoy watching Private Practice, Brothers & Sisters and NCIS! I’m a bit quirky and love being spontaneous. As Phil likes to say, I don’t have “blonde moments” I have “Amanda moments”. I’m not one for really caring what people think. I am who I am, love me or hate me. I believe that life is grand and you’ve gotta make the most out of it.

Now that we’re in a new place, scratch that-New country! We’ve been exploring new places and can’t wait to continue to do and try new things. The only down side to being in another country is being so far away from family. Other than that, things are great! For more information, check back soon!

I never wore the uniform, no medals on my chest. The band it doesn't play for me, I am not among the Best. I do not march in cadence, I do not rate salute, I stand among the silent ranks, our devotion absolute.

If you've not worn my shoes, you do not know my story. I live a life of sacrifice, my reward a private glory. I've wept many silent nights away, and I've kept the home fires burning. I've worried and I've waited, as world events were churning.

I've moved more times than you could fathom, left more people than you've known. I've planted gardens around the world -- Very few that I've seen grown. I've grieved with new-made widows, and had my share of scares -- when a ship or plane or man was down, and all I had were prayers.

I'm not asking for your sympathy, (although appreciation can be nice) I did it quite on purpose though -- I chose to sacrifice. I'll tell you a secret now, one you'd never guess. About the one glory that is mine, it's just enough no more, no less.

When you and I stand together as our national anthem plays, I'll fill with reminiscences of how I spent those days. I'll know the pain and joys again, I'll know that freedom isn't free, I'll know I've helped to pay the price

& I know the anthem plays for me.

    Relationship couldn't be better. It's made me realize a lot about past experiences and how much of a hard time I used to give myself. Now is when I found the right one. We've already talked about moving in, and eventually one day in the future...you know...Settling down, marriage, kids....ME. Believe it or not lol. Life is good. In 2 weeks, I move out. I'm moving to Miami on my own, I have a full time job at a restaurant down there too. I miss ya. Sooo, when do I get to be an aunt? hehehe
