Well I am always game for something cool and new to do on my blog, the 30 days of Me thing is getting a bit old (I will continue) but this is something I thought would be a nice break to add to it. A great way to get to know one another better I think. Thank you so much Wife of a Sailor for introducing this on your blog! Please visit her blog and get all the details and check out her blog..it is a really good one.
1. How did you and your spouse/significant other meet?We met in college in Arizona. I was in the nursing program and he was there getting credits to get in the Marines. At the time it was hard to get in and they wanted more than just a High School Diploma. He actually enlisted in the National Guard so he could get the G.I. Bill to pay for his classes so he could enlist in the Marine Corps. That was very impressive to me. We started talking after I had overheard him saying he was going to join the Marines. I knew a lot about the Marine Corps and I think that impressed him. At that time I swore I would never marry a Marine. My sister was married to a Marine and always alone, Marines deploy a lot even during peace time and I wasn't sure that was the kind of life I wanted for myself. We all know how that turned out (smile)
2. What is the best thing about being a MilSpouse?Being married to my husband is the best thing about being a milspouse. But of course there is the pride knowing my husband is part of something way bigger than himself. Also the community, when the chips are down we will circle the wagons for sure. Being part of the Marine family is very important to me. I was born of a Marine, Married a Marine and will soon be the mom of a Marine.
3. What is the hardest thing about being a MilSpouse?I think the separations are hard. I think the fact that most civilians have no idea what we deal with on a day to day basis.
4. What is your favorite dish?Hands down, spaghetti with Italian sausage.
5. If you could change one thing in this world, what would it be?I would like common sense to make a comeback. I would like to see people be more accountable for their own actions and not blame everything on someone or something else.

I had the same idea for number 5! I read an article the other day about people suing McDonalds for putting toys in the Happy Meals, because the toys are to blame for the child obesity problem in the US. People are getting crazy.
Funny you should mention thst because we had a huge discussion about that..talk about lack of accountability on parents part!
