    Default Hiiiiii!

    Hello all!

    I'm Jaimie. I'm 20 and I'm from Quebec, Canada. I live in California with my husband. He's also Canadian, but he is currently serving in the US Marines. We just got married May of 2005. We're technically no longer "Newlyweds", but 4 months after we married, he was sent to Iraq. He just returned to me in April. It's good to have him back, but it's bittersweet because he's going back to that evil place in a few months..

    Anyways, I joined here to get tips.. I can't legally work or attend school in the US just yet, so I'm a housewife. I like to find ways to save $$. I like to spend $$, too.. So I've got to compromise

    So, hello!

    Hi there from a fellow Canuck! We've got boys in Kandahar right now too, one just went back. My heart goes out to you. The waiting can be tough, specially if you don't have a lot to occupy yourself. You'll find lots of great tips here and support to save money!

    I'm also a USMC wife - just remember to take a deep breath each morning.

    Thank you! You are all too kind

    babetteq, thank your boys for me! What an amazing thing to do for their country!

    bumplett, Semper Fi! As for the school, we're not too sure yet.. We've run into some complications with the whole process. It's proving to be more difficult than we thought
