Meeting Carr Wives..

Okay so Iv been going on and on about trying to meet some wives from my hubbys ship. I wanted to know some ladies from our ship just, for obvious reasons. I looked and looked last night to try and find some. Never did.
Today I am on a Navy wives group on FB and I see a girl who posts about being stationed in Norfolk. I respond with "Hi, we are in Norfolk as well' She IMs me, and we are talking. We soon find out that our Hubbys are on the same ship! I was soooo excited! I tried so hard to find some wives on the Carr, and so for me to just find one at random was super exciting. Then we start discussing whether we maybe know the others Hubby. This is where my luck just goes to hell. She tells me a story of how she moved to VA from NY to be with her now [x], While she was with her [x] she was introduced to her now Hubby, so after the [x] broke up with her, she started dating the man she is now married to. I was like wow thats cool. Well as we talk we discover that MY HUBBY is her [X]. SERIOUSLY!!!! How effin bad can my luck get?! I was sooo excited to find a wife on our ship, and the ONE that I do happen to come across is his [X]! Well we keep talking and she tells me he broke up with her January of 09' after he came back from Leave. Hmmmm, Now this is INTERESTING ladies, because as you see at the top of this lovely blog, we started dating DECEMBER 26 of 08. And this LEAVE she is saying he took before he broke up with her...WAS TO INDIANA...TO MY HOUSE...
UGHHHH
So I talk to the Hubby, he says they broke it off in Oct. Well before he met me but remained friends. She says she is very happy to be with her hubby and thankful that David introduced them. He says she is slightly crazy but isnt sure why she thinks they were together in January. UGHHH...what to think what to think. I love this man, I have complete trust in him. I dont know this girl, I dont know her motives, soooo I go with what I believe I should and Trust in him. Riiiight?

Being Useful

So here's the deal, Every now and then I start to feel like..I could be more useful!
I love being a Navy Wife (Fiance), I love getting to be home with my kids, I love having the time to be there for the other wives and be a part of our "support group". I would also love to feel like I am doing something on a daily basis. I cook, I clean, I do all of my wife and mommy duties, but...what else could I be doing..?

The Beginning...

Hello all, My name is Alisheau. I am engaged to an amazing man named David. He is currently a Petty Officer 1st Class in the United States Navy. I never understood the military life until I fell for this man. Now a days my life is like a fairy tale. He is my prince, and Im his Cinderella. ((except that Cinderellas Prince never got deployed))..

David & I met...by fate, by chance, maybe destiny. We were living in 2 different states, 800 Miles apart. If ever I had a doubt that we were meant to be, I would just think back to how perfectly everything fell together for us and know, He's my soulmate

A very good friend of mine, my roommate at the time, decided that she wanted to get back with her [x], who was in the Navy, stationed at Norfolk Naval. In August of 08 she moved out of our house and made the long trip from Indiana to Virginia to be with the [x]. He soon deployed and my friend was left in Virginia, as so many of us start out, alone. My friend came home to Indiana for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays of 08. She stayed with me most of the time, and we joked a lot that I should pack up my things and run away to Virgnina with her. She told me her then bf had introduced her to a friend of his and that he would be perfect for me. I of course said, "You're Crazy". She gave me his number, and gave mine to him. We started out with a just a few long phone conversations, then started the texting day in and day out. We talked for hours about any and everything. Never in my life, before him, had I felt like I missed someone so much that I had never even met. In December of 08' David took New Years leave and called to tell me he decided to drive to Indiana during leave and meet me. ((We also made plans for him to take my friend back to Virginia with him, so she didnt have to fly home with all of her daughters new christmas presents)) My heart sank into my stomach, I was so excited. I tried to control it over the phone of course, but I think we both knew the other was incredibly nervous, excited, etc. I will never forget December 26, 2008. He was truely the GREATEST Christmas present a girl could ever get.

I had my reservations about packing up my life, and 2 kids, to move 800 miles away from the ONLY place I had ever called home, but from the moment I met him, I knew I couldnt live apart from him((& he agreed =))).

I moved to Virginia in Febuary of 09' and stayed with my friend while David was underway. When he got back we got a place together, let things settle down and then my kids came from their fathers to be with us in Virginia. David deployed in April of 09'.

I admit, our relationship was rushed, crazy, spur of the moment, dive right in. We put an ENORMOUS amount of faith and trust in one another from the VERY beginning. Looking back I wouldnt change a thing. The timing, the place, the people, it was all perfect.
