Your Questions Answered: Life with My Marine

Today is day two of answering your questions. Today they are all about life with the my Marine. A lot of people were interested in this topic!

Brooke Ashley and Amber asked "What do you like best about being a Marine spouse? What do you like least?" I love having a husband that I am so proud of. I love the amazing support system I have found in other military spouses. I don't like the possibility of deployment, weeks apart because of training, and some of the silly rules. Atleast once a week we have conversations revolving around clothing choices, how far he can travel without leave, and bars Marines can't go to in town. Even though I make jokes out of it, I understand the rules.

Elianna asked "What did you find easiest about transitioning to being a military wife, and what was hardest?" Me and Danny have been a bit spoiled, we have yet to spend anytime apart (except when we travel on our own, the Marines haven't separated us..yet.) So, I don't really think I'm the "go to person" for what its like having to transition, because really...I haven't had to. I already lived in North Carolina and away from my family. But I will say, understanding and learning the acronyms is hard. EVERYTHING has an acronym. I'm a planner, so it's hard not being able to plan things months in advance. But honestly, right now, I can't say transitioning has been difficult.

Renee and Jordan both asked "If you and Danny could PCS ANYWHERE in the World...where would you choose and why? AND what would you miss most about where you are now?" Hmm..I would love to be out in San Diego. Some of Danny's best friends are stationed out there. We always had such a fun time with them, and I love looking at all of their pictures online. They look like they are having such a blast. I would miss living within driving distance and cheap airfare to Massachusetts. I would really miss all the great friends I have made in North Carolina.

Lauren asked "What is your favorite thing to do in Jacksonville?" Okay, there really isn't much to do in Jacksonville. I can't really remember the last time we hungout in Jacksonville! We travel to Wilmington and New Bern a lot. I like that the beach is close by. And there are a lot of restaurants in Jacksonville. But it makes me sad that none of my favorites are here...like Panera and Qdoba!
