Hello? Is this thing on?

Testing.. testing.. 1, 2, 3...

Okay.. Let me introduce myself. My name is Christina, and I am a Navy wife. On September 27, 2008 I married an amazing man. On October 27, 2008 that amazing man left for boot camp to become a US Sailor. We are currently stationed in Virginia. My husband is on the USS Enterprise. We have been in Hampton Roads since June of 2009.

A little more about myself:

I will be 23 in February.
My husband and I are from a small town right outside Nashville, TN.

We are what some may call "Rednecks" and we're not offended. We love Nascar and Football, camping out at Bristol Motor Speedway.. etc.
I have 1 dog named Riley Roo.. Mostly call her Roo or Roo-Roo. She is a Red Nose American Pit Bull Terrier. She is amazing. I have had her since she was 4 weeks old. Now she is a little over 3 years old. She was a rescue. I can't wait to rescue another Pit Bull.
I have 1 cat. He's a mess. I found him dodging cars in a Sonic Drive in. Thought about naming him French Fry, but we decided on Musket. He's roughly 8 or 9 months. He was tiny when I found him. Now he's one of the biggest cats I have seen. Not a fat cat, just a BIG cat. He and Roo are the Best of friends. Crazy how insepratable they are.
I am a very creative/ artsy person. I love making graphics and tshirt designs for military wives and family. I have 2 tshirt shops.
http://cafepress.com/CRushGFX and http://zazzle.com/CRushGFX Check'em out. I'll make you a custom designs and give you a 15% discount if you mention this blog! :)
I have been modeling since the Fall of 2007. It is another passion of mine.
I sometimes scrapbook and occasionally draw.

I recently started the 365 Photo Project. You can view the photos at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=358144&id=502935006&l=3712527623

Anyways, Welcome to my Crazy world of being a Navy Wife. Hope you enjoy what I blog about in the Future.

  2. Like you, I had noone to talk to and ask what to expect. I just take it one day at a time. Being a military wife and military family is a way of life. You ask how I do it, but I can only tell you why I do it. I do it because I love him.

    I wanted to make friends with girls who understood the military life (or who were living the military life) so I joined Military Wives groups on facebook. This has helped a lot. I met my best friend off of facebook. Her husband is also in the Navy. Facebook is great for Military and their families in my opinion. I have learned so much from the girls there.

    I also enjoy reading military wife books. I have a small collection of roughly 12 books now. Some I have yet to finish reading. I have learned a lot from these books. Some things about the military that my husband didn't even know.

    Feel free to ask any questions you have. I will answer them to the best of my ability.
