Well, Mrs D finally made an appearance! LOL
I decided that we are going to need a recap of all that is going on because if you haven't noticed our Gossip Girl style, we don't use our real names. It's much easier that way, a little bit of autonomy, so that we can write as we will.
So our Character or Cast List:
Writer: Mrs D
Writer: Mrs. T, or "T"
T's Husband: JT
Mrs Ds Husband: Mr. D
Minor Characters:
Mrs Ds Ex: The Ex (even though he is very insignificant, Mrs D and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for him).
Location: Virginia, USA.

My introduction: Hi, my name is...
Mrs D. Call me as you see fit. I am an ordinary woman, living an EXTRAORDINARY life as a Navy wife. Is there really anything more to say??
As for the background story, Mrs T basically told OURS and hers but I want to tell hers from MY prospective:
Yes, I up and moved to be with my boyfriend of about a month. We had known eachother for years as he was my friends brother and before the Navy lived in the same town as T and I. When I moved there I lived with him, his roommate and his son and basically became his sons keeper. I joked and said I was the live in nanny and that joke smacked me in the face when he and I broke up and I found out he had actually been telling people that but THAT, that is a whole nother story.
T came to visit. It had been a long time since we saw eachother but it wasn't 9 months. We had seen eachother in December when I came to visit Indiana for the holiday. It didn't really count though because all the time we spent together was like 2 hours at a bar with my boyfriend at the time and his family. We didn't get a ton of talk time. Anyway, so she came to visit. We had a lot of plans like going on a mini trip to DC and the Anti Valentines Day party. The first night she was there, I had my friends over. They HAD TO meet my bff! One of them took a quick liking to her. A VERY quick liking. That night I went outside to go have a cig and he came out with me. He said "your friend is very pretty" and I replied with "I know" (lol) and he said "No, your friend is VERY pretty" I replied with a giggle once again "I know" and so began J courting T.
The last night T was in town we all went to a local bar to hang out and, well, after we left the bar we decided on Taco Bell munchies. We were stopped at a light right near our destination and J gets out of our friends car, runs to T's door, swings it open and plants a kiss on her lips. OMG none of us knew what to do and I bet ANYTHING T had the most butterflys in her stomache she has ever had in her life. SO SWEET! The next day, T went home and from then on out every time J hung out with me, you could bet your butt there would be a point in the night when he was talking to T. I will never forget the time after I moved back to Indiana and J was visiting T and they came by and T showed me the ring. I started crying! I was so happy for them!
And now, it's MY turn to tell MY story: Remember that roommate I said I lived with with my ex? Yeah...
Okay, so Mr and I met in Indiana when the ex and him were visiting. You see, Mr is from Indiana too. Only around 35 minutes from where the ex and I are from. Mr and the ex met on the ship they were both on. How cool is that? Anyway, he was at my friends house with the ex and so was I. He didn't really talk to me. Kind of kept to himself but I thought he was cute. He struck my single woman curiousity more then the ex but the ex and I hit it off and so goes the beginning of Mr and I.
When I moved to VA to be with the now ex, he was our roommate. He didn't speak much to me the first couple of days but eventually we became best friends. The ex was always trying to find a way to kick him out (due to jealousy I believe) but I always talked him out of it. Mr never did anything really wrong so I never saw any reason for him to get kicked out. Then, the bomb went off. I found out the now ex had went out with another girl when he told me he was going out with the guys. When I found out, the now ex wasn't home. It was just the now Mr and I there and I bawled on his shoulder. He comforted me when noone else could. Best. Friend. Well, ex begged me to stay and I really didn't want to go. As far as I knew he only went out with her, not that he had sex with or kissed her, so I stayed.
Then came deployment. They left in January that year. I bawled on the pier. I could bearly breathe. At that time, I had no idea what I had gotten into. I had no idea how hard it would be to wait for someone while questioning their love for you. It was hard. Hard until he confessed to cheating on me about 3 months into the deployment. I then had had enough and I moved back to Indiana a couple weeks later.
Of course Mr and I still kept in constant contact. I still have all his emails. He even called me a few times. Mr got back in August and called me when he got in. That very night I got a drunk call from him. He said I was hot (lmao) and said he loved me. I didn't know what to say to that because at the time I had pretty much sworn men off and one of my best friends was drunkingly saying he loved me so I just laughed at him. He laughed too so I let it go. I at least TRIED to let it go. It didn't work so well. That night remained in the back of my mind for a long time. Until he came to Indiana to visit in December. He talked to me almost the whole drive up there. Called me about a dozen times haha. The day after he got in, he came to my parents house to come get me so we could go meet up with my friend L and hang out. We went to the bar and did some kareoke (Mr watched lol) and then we headed to another friends house. On our way there we decided to grab some food and I decided right after we got our food in the drive thru, it was time to plant a kiss on him. The first time I EVER made the first move. Ever. He kissed back but it was kind of a really confusing moment for both of us. I think that is kind of where our courting journey started, but neither of us actually courted. We just knew what we wanted.
I failed to mention earlier that when he came in December, I planned to move back to VA with him. Just as friends. Well, on our way to VA, he asked me to be his girl and I said yes of course. Mr told me the reason he felt so compelled to ask me right then and there was because when I went into the gas station at the last stop he thought to himself "Nobody better mess with my girl".
Well blah blah blah, yada yada yada.... On a beautiful day in May, Mr asked me what I wanted to do. It was a beautiful day so I said either go for a walk on the beach or go to the park. I just wanted to be outside. So, we went to the beach where Mr popped the big question. I about lost my mind. I really thought I was going to pass out. Of course this girl said yes. I would have been a fool to say no. We were married in July and a short time later he deployed.
Well, I survived the deployment and now we are less then a month away from having our big ceremony. And so the story goes on :)
