"Impossible as they may seem, you've got to fight for every dream, because who's to know which one you let go would have made you complete."
Our Baby!
Hi everyone! I'd go into the whole "My name is Chrystal" BS but if you are on my page you probably already know me. I am not one of those fake chicks that feel the need to impress anyone by having 500 friends on My Space. I actually know everyone on my friends list in real life. My husband Rob ♥ is my best friend and he means the world to me! He is a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps and is currently in medical holding for MP school at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I love him with all of my heart and soul and I'm unbelievably proud of him! I love my friends and family and would do anything for them. My best friends Jenn, Joe & Jen mean the world to me!! I am always truthful, and overly nice to people, even though it usually winds up biting me in the ass in the end. I am basically taking life day by day as it comes to me, learning from my experiences, and living life to the fullest, without any regrets.
I am the Operations Manager at Staples in Milltown, NJ. I love to paint in my spare time, which is almost non-existent. I went to Brookdale Community College (Lincroft, NJ) for 2 years, where I received an Associate of the Arts and an Associate of Fine Arts, then went to Towson University in Maryland for a year for Art Education, and eventually graduated from William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ with a Bachelors in Psychology. Eventually (when I have the money) I will go for my Masters and Doctorate in Art Therapy. I would go now, except I can't see going into life with a $200,000 debt before you even buy a house, have kids, or get married.
I'd love to catch up with some long lost friends! I absolutely love the beach, clubbing, comedy clubs, water parks, skiing, movies, and just hanging out. I am just out to have an all around kick ass time! :) And although it may seem hard to for some people to understand, I am NOT in any way looking for a random guy to screw! My heart was stolen already, sorry to disappoint. So if you are looking for a piece of ass, look elsewhere, and while you're at it... re-think your morals.
Marine Corps Wife Poem
You think you know me, but you haven't the slightest clue.
Im the brunette standing behind you in line at the grocery store, eyeing the newest "Support Our Troops" magnet while paging through the latest issue of Modern Bride. The look on her face is complacent and her thoughts are thousands of miles away on some military base she's only been verbally described of over the phone.
Im the young girl in the next car with the windows rolled up and the glassy visage only on the road ahead. The radio is set to one of the local country stations which is currently playing "Letters From Home." But you can't hear it because you're talking to a family member or a friend on your cell phone. You catch a glance at the Marines sticker on the bumper of her car but you don't know that when the song reaches my dearest love it's almost dawn, I've been laying here all night long, wondering where you might be, her heart breaks a thousand times.
Im the young woman who is planning an entire wedding on her own, with only the little input she can get from her husband-to-be over the phone.
Im the girl who visits the Marine Corp Wives website at odd hours of the night to find some kind of comfort for that lonesome feeling that has settled in the pit of her stomach.
I'm the woman who will willingly sacrifice her family, her home to follow a man clear across the country.
Im the young woman who swells with pride every time she sees her Marine standing tall in his dress blues. I.m the one who spots a Marine sticker, license plate, or flag and feels a connection with its owner, hoping that maybe she's not alone in this melancholy, sacrificial situation.
Im the one who hates war but knows that it's a necessary thing. I'm the one who supports her President, regardless of her own opinion because he is the boss of her soon to be husband, because he's the man who our troops are fighting under.
I am the young woman who tries her hardest to go about her everyday life. I am the young woman who tries to concentrate and do the job she gets paid to do. I am the young woman who hates sleeping alone. I am the young woman who closes her eyes and pretends that the man she loves is laying right there next to her, his arms wrapped around her. I am the young woman who tries not to miss him, who tries not to cry whenever she hears his name or even the mention of soldiers. I am the woman who is terrified that the love of her life will be sent off to war, enabling them to get married when they had planned, hoped, and prayed.
I am many things.
A daughter.
A sister.
A cousin.
A niece.
A co-worker.
A friend.
But most importantly, I am the wife of a United States Marine.
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot,
who calls you back even though you just hung up on him,
who thinks you are perfect even though he knows the worst thing about you,
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when you are in a t-shirt and sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you just as pretty without make up,
who is constantly reminding you of how much he loves you,
and how lucky he is to have you...
the one who turns to his friends and says "that's her."
