Our Story

Scott and I were introduced  in December of 2007. After a whirlwind romance we tied the knot in Vegas in 08.08.08. Our lives were anything but ordinary. Our first three years of marriage were filled with cross country moves, 2 pink lines (twice), the birth of an adorable little boy, buying a house, and a combat deployment. Our life was far from ordinary but I believed that we had love to make it through.

In October of 2011, my life was turned upside down when Scott asked for divorce. I thought I had my fairytale. I thought I had found true happiness.

Originally, this blog, entitled Diary of a Devil Dog Wife was intended to be the story of our life as a Christian Marine Corps family. It was created so our family members and friends could stay “involved” in our lives from miles away. To share our stories of deployments, duty changes, and a growing family.

But now, because my life has taken a very unexpected turn, I find myself rediscovering who I am. I find myself searching to redefine who I am. I’m trying to mend the whole that has been torn into my heart. I have a long journey ahead of me. I hope you decide to follow me as I share my honest thoughts about life as a single mom learning to redefining everything I knew about happiness.
