Marines Wife Designs started in 2004 because I was looking for well designed Military merchandise. I have a bachelors degree in Digital Media Arts and work as a Web & Graphic Designer. My husband, friends, and other Military Families are the inspiration for my designs. I am very honored and privileged to offer these designs to others who feel as passionately about our United States Military as I do. Show and Share your Love and Pride off with one of my designs!!
My Story:
I started dating my husband in 1999 when we were just high school freshmen. As the years passed we grew older, grew apart and back together. Nothing could ever keep us apart for very long. Brian decided to join the Marine Corps to do his part for our Country and left in September of 2002. When Brian graduated from Boot Camp, I cant even express how proud and honored I was to be his girlfriend. Boot camp seemed to be the longest three months of our lives, but never did we expect it was just the beginning of the hard times. It wasn’t too long until his first deployment to Iraq, which of course, terrified me. Things were extremely hard on both of us but I was head over heels in love with him and determined to do anything I could to be with him. He proposed while he was in Iraq and we planned the entire wedding via email while he was gone. He returned and we married a week later in April of 2004, and yet again, little did we know that we would have to face two more Iraq deployments. Over the course of three years I did not see Brian for more than one week at a time between my going to college, his deployments, duty stations, training, etc. He missed countless holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, even my college graduation but he was always there in my heart. Even though he was practically never around I never even thought about being with someone else. My husband was gone, but he was fighting for freedom and if that’s not a good reason, then I don’t know what is! The Marines has given us a greater appreciation of each other, our Country, and we have met some amazing people along the way. Those people are not only our friends but our family. For all that we have given for the Marines we have received so much more in return. I stand proudly beside my husband. He truly is my hero. He inspires me everyday and makes me the Woman that I am. I will love and support him and the entire United States Military until my last breath.
