About Me

To paraphrase Chief Petty Officer Jeff Edwards, You are a patriot - the sort of citizen that all of us should be, but so few of us are. You live with sacrifice, because you believe in the rights and ideals that your boyfriend defends. Although you wear no uniform, you are a part of that defense - a vital link in the chain of freedom. Although you wear no medals and will reap no glory on the field of battle, you are hero in the truest sense of the word. You are a military girlfriend.This is me: It takes a strong woman to love a military man. I'm a vet tech for a local animal hospital and I love my job. I'm in school working on my RVT license too. That doesn't leave me too much free time, but I work hard to I can play hard. I always make time for my friends...hanging out at the bars or girls night in watching TV and drinking wine! I'm also a practicing Tibetan Buddhist although I don't practice as much since I moved away from my teachers in Boston. My boyfriend is in the Navy and is currently deployed far from home for a year. This is his first deployment. If you ask him, he'll tell you he's having a fun day at the beach. He's tough like that...I know better...
You Are Buffy the Vampire Slayer
"We saved the world. I say we have to party." What Superheroine Are You?
Your Inner Muse is Terpsichore
You are most like this muse of dancing.
You have a natural rhythm that makes you an incredible dancer.
And you're always inventing the coolest dance moves.
Off the dance floor, you carry yourself with grace. What Muse Are You?
