3 amazing blogs I love to read...
GOODNIGHT MOON
SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
FLIP FLOPS AND COMBAT BOOTS!
All American girls!
My oh my where to start? I first started following GOOD NIGHT MOON when I came across browsing through blogs. And I remember thinking huh Marine wife like soon I am to be. So I criss crossed apple sauce my legs (like I'am doing now) and starting reading! Her events of everyday life made me laugh and made me relax in some ways. The day after bear left for deployment I cried and cried and was just down in the dumps and thinking "god what will make me stop crying?" And I perked up in bed and thought GOODNIGHT MOON! So I grabbed my lap top again criss crossed apple sauce and begun to read. I noticed my tears were gone my eyes didn't burn anymore all because this special lady made me smile and feel so good because of her blog. She is so positive and fun a true beauty inside and out. She truly is amazing at everything she does! Great mom great wife great blogger! I would like to thank you AMBER for making me smile and laugh even though we are states apart just know you helped me in my time of need of warmth!

These 3 women are wonderful powerful encouraging inspirational all of the above.I urge you to stop bye and check em' out. They are addicting to read most my laughter comes from them and at times I can relate to them. I have told bear about there blogs and even forwarded him a few of theirs he gets a kick out of them even mentioned its a good laugh when needed! I will call these ladies my *DEPLOYMENT PICKER UPERS!*Each and everyone one of these women are unique and individually developed with that meaning they aren't like women that are out in this crazy world. They don't follow they lead. They have their morals priorities set strait strong independent women. Simply symbols of what a women should be and stand for. *** MAKE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT***

wtf really?

Well this will be a quick post tonight! Again I know I am horrible at blogging every note I promise I will do this every note some time soon! Anyways, a quick in sight on how things are going and then I will get to the real point of my post. Fist off mom and I closed escrow on the house we wanted! We are now 6 miles from the beach and 20-30 mins away from Camp Pendleton (where bear is based at)depending on traffic and if I want to speed or not! Mom has surgery coming up here in the future we are now about 40.3% done with deployment wohooooo I can finally start seeing the light again! Next umm lets see lets see oh I know I am getting a personal trainer(thank god) This is my last chance at getting my "sexy back" before bear gets home! I just sent out a huge as care package and letters to him for our anni. (September 3rd), Bittersweet as my mil. girls would know!... Okay now to my point! So bear as you know is on a MEU with the Navy, he has been all over so far and he was embracing it and starting to semi enjoy it until dun dun dun the flood river city hit Pakistan! SO bear's ship got lucky enough to cruse down there and support operations! Now, I haven't heard from Bear in almost 2 weeks mind you and I am getting a little antsy so we got word today well actually most of you may have seen it on the news that his COMMANDER got relieved! hmmmmm what the hell dude??? I will post what was reported on here and you can decide what you think on this (please email me your thoughts I am curious to know email me @ themarinesgirl88@gmail.com)
HERE IS HE REPORT

The commanding officer of the San Diego-based amphibious assault ship USS Peleliu (LHA 5), Captain David A. Schnell, was relieved of command by Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command, U.S. Navy 5th Fleet, Vice Adm. Mark I. Fox, due to "loss of confidence" in his ability to command.
The decision to relieve Captain Schnell comes as a result of an investigation into allegations that he acted in an unprofessional manner toward several crew members that was inappropriate, improper and unduly familiar.
The investigation results call into question Schnell's ability to continue to effectively lead his command. As a result, he was relieved due to loss of confidence.
Captain Mark E. Cedrun, Chief of Staff for Expeditionary Strike Group 3, will temporarily command USS Peleliu.
Schnell, who took command of the ship in September 2009, is temporarily reassigned to administrative duties at Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

Boy boy bet your ass we had a blast! So much fun good food good company we had games swimming our hotel was 5 steps from the beach it was a much needed break! We went down to Camp Pen to go see our street (in previous post I wrote about my step dad he was kia in 91' they named a street after us down there to honor him) we drove bye bears old barracks and we went shopping and I got myself a cute USMC tank top it was so bittersweet being there I felt you near me I felt so safe and so relieved I wanted to run to your barracks open the door and just hug you. I remembered a second after you aren't here your not here your gone to a far far away land with danger and hostility. After a few hours at Pen we went out to eat and headed back,unfortunately this wonderful life we lead for the weak had to end and go back to reality! Bear has been constantly on my mind hes never not there hes in my dreams in my words my movements everything your there your there but your not your not here I feel like you are but physically your not I want you home I want you home now in my arms where I know I can protect you from worlds harm.

I understand I agreed to this life and this is your job I understand all the ups and down that came with this life I love it because its you I love it because its what makes us you and me I love it because I love you but I am having a hard time rite now. I've been having dreams bad dreams. You laying in a hospital bed motionless me looking at you helpless. Me in the far far away land trying to find you and bring you home. I would tell you more but I don't want to relive these dreams. It 2 am I can't sleep I miss you and want to hold you I found you r cammi jacket along with a white long sleeve dress shirt when I saw them I thought of you.

Deployment surprise!

I got a surprise from bear I was so so so so excited when I saw it he sent me a beautiful big bouquet of spring mix flowers with a bear and a bag of Hershey kisses on the side! They smell was so sweet this so mad up for the last almost 3 months! And the card awwhh the card hes so cute it said"I would of sent daisies but I already have a field of them with you" lol! Hes so cute and mushi when it comes to love! God I love that man he is certainly amazing just sweet bliss! I can't wait for December so I can hear his voice and see his cute ass! love you baby!

I am so proud of my man!

WOW you know how you wonder if you husband or significant other is really paying attention to you well Gary Ray surprised the hell out of me! Ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted that old country southern lifestyle and I was blessed to end up with a southern man! One day bear and I were talking about what we wanted our house like! He answer was "I want a two story with a basement with a porch I can have our rocking chairs on and I can have my blood hound laying rite next to me." My reply to that was a "basement for what?" (remind you I was born and raised in wonderful California sense the sarcasm) He then went on to tell me with this confused look on his face like I was supposed to know what the basement was for... His reply " umm babe for when tornado's hit duhhhh!" I sat with my mouth wide open almost crapping myself. I said "what the hell thanks for telling me great California girl in the middle of a freakin tornado Americas funniest videos here I come!" So after I came to terms knowing that there will be tornado's {in Indiana where were moving to when hes done}I was going to tell him what I wanted again even though we have discussed this before! So before I opened my mouth to say anything he was naming off everything I wanted.... I want to live on a hill side with a farm in the back maybe next to a lake so I can see the moon light shimmer on the steal water or by a wheat field so him and I can go escape for a few hours in the middle of the field and just get lost in each others arms. I want a white wooded old Victorian southern style look with black hard wood floors I can walk barefoot on and a wrap around porch I want a garden and a green room I want a big kitchen I want our room to have french white doors that open up to a balcony, I want candles everywhere and I mean everywhere I want whit flowy curtains with old architecture I want the house to smell like apple pumpkin spice. He kept going on until he couldn't say anymore. Next he then decided to tell me what my favorite color was pink then he told me my favorite months October through December I want one of my babies to be born in October if possible. After he told me if we have a girl I want her name to be Faith luryn and if i was a boy I wanted Austin Ray. My favorite music is country but I listen to a very very diverse music like the black hawk sound track the Brothers sound track Hans Zimmer is amazing he went on saying you go to operas ballets farmers markets little county fairs. SO remember if you don't think there listening be careful you never know what they might remember hey they may surprise you Gary sure surprised the hell outta me. I mean if it would take me another hour to write all the stuff down but I will stop and get on with something that was said to me! SO some random guy or moron I would call him decided to start up a convo with me about my ring. Moron said to me "hey that's a nice ring your man must have a goo job" SO I replied to him as "yes he takes care of me!" He said "well what does this mister wonderful do? I replied to him again saying "hes a Marine" The guy turned his whole body to me and said "Honey Army guys take care of Marine wives" I sat there and thought to myself what the hell is wrong with you ass hole! Mind you my mouth is wide open because this guy is so ignorant and thought he was going to degrade Gary when truly he degraded him self! I shared a few un-lady like words with the moron and went on with my day! Well Sorry for the long post I will leave you with my gooshy shout out to bear! Hey baby I love you I miss you and I am so glad you have never tried to pull some bs stuff like that on me! I a proud to be a Marine wife and let alone just your wife! People are ignorant and always will be just know your the better person and I love you my man and only you your one in a million my man I miss you so much 5 months till your home I loves you bear! See ya soon!

Oh so sorry my friends!

Well I am sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately so much has been going on. First mom had surgery ughhh my gosh we get up at 7 am to go to the hospital to be there by 9 am. We get there and she signs in. Well 9 am came around the time they said she will be taken in for surgery (she was getting a tumor and a syst removed and getting her tubes tied) well they lied pushed her back till 12.... So we waited then finally 12'0 clock rolled around but nope they came to us and said "Mrs. Garza ummm I am sorry but were are pushing you back to 6 now we are so sorry!" By this time I was beyond irritated tired and I just wanted to go home and check my email to see if my hero wrote me. Well 6 pm came and guess what was said " excuse me Ma'am we are pushing you back again we are so so sorry for the inconvenience..." My mom turned to me and said "if hes not here by 8 I am leaving." I said " Mom we should have left hours ago its there mistake they over booked and made us waste a day..." she said nothing more. Anyways 8 pm finally came but still no doctor, as we got up to leave the hospital the nurse cam over and said the doctor will be here any minute well 9 came around and the jack ass was finally here and the surgery room was cleared. So they took her in and about an hour and a half later they came out and told me she did really great that they took her syst and tumor out. Nothing looked cancerous and he also mentioned when she has her next surgery some time here in the next week or so ( there taking her gaul bladder out) they will be taking another syst out that's on her ovary, but he still sent the other syst and tumor in to the lab to make sure! I was relieved but still had this heavy weight on my shoulder. Shes still some what sore but doing good! We move her in the next 20 days I can't wait ughh I am so excited woho new start and a good change! Speaking of change we are 2 months and some days down! We have a little less than 5 months to go till hero is home! Hes doing really good he so far has been to Guam Timon Leste in south east Korea and he has been to Darwin Australia he should end up in Afghan I think pretty soon he hasn't said much... Hes ready to come he said he talk s about homecoming all the time it gets us both excited and make our nerves and the anticipation even crazier! God the things that man does to me even though hes not here he still makes me weak in the knees and makes my heart beat out of control and makes me smile from ear to ear. Our wedding is coming along slowly but surely! Although he dropped a big bomb on me after he left asking "umm mama" my reply " yes honey" Him "can we have the wedding back where I am from?" me "(silence mouth drops) IN INDIANA?" him "yes" Me " but fine yes we can have it in Indiana!" So everything did a whole 180 and instead of a San Diego beach themed wedding were having a Indiana country rustic old military themed wedding! 15,October 2011! Man am I excited and a big plus his aunt has been the biggest help to me being she lives in IN and just knows what I want and like! So moving on I am going to be an auntie! My best friend just got an honorable discharge from the army because her husband and her made a baby! BUT her husband just deployed to Iraq about 2 weeks ago he will be there till next July so please prayers for all of our men and women and my mommy... Shes having a girl naming her Abigail! Shes due 13, December 2010. So her husband already put rand r leave for two weeks after the baby is born! Everything is going good as of now. Now for me insomnia sucks ughh I don't go to sleep till around 4 30 am and I get up around 7 or 8 am I don't sleep I swear I feel like a zombie sometimes I need sleep so I don't look like hell when Gary gets home! I am doing my best at everything I can I try my hardest and I fight with pride. I will always be forever faithful forever proud to my soon to be husband I love you my man almost almost just keep wishing and praying and it will be here in no time! I love you bear misses you xoxox...
