I went from Dover to Minnesota with Curtis's family. That week we spent alot of time with news reporters, got our pictures taken left and right, and spend hours talking about Curtis.
Im not really sure what day it was, but this day will forever stand out in my mind. We were all sitting in the kitchen and all of a sudden a car hits a tree in Curtis's parents yard. A girl wasnt paying attention and ran her car up into there yard and took out a tree. A couple marines and the fire department put a new tree in its place soon after. (We all get a good laugh about it now)
This was honestly the longest week of my life. We had to wait til Friday for Curtis to be brought back to Minnesota. Knowing my husband was coming home was awesome, but then reality sits back in and I realized he wouldnt be the Curtis I last saw on Nov. 19. :(

Ohh Where Do I Start?!?!?!
I'm a little over 5 months into this, this being "A Widow".
So here it goess....
On April 2, 2010, It was a Friday night when i found out about my husband. I was at walmart with a friend. I was home visiting my family and friends before what I thought would be the last time I would be home in Indiana until Christmas. I got a text message from my sister in law, Emily, asking what i was up to. So of course i replied just hangin with Alyse. youu? and She asked If i was with my mom. SOOO of course I knew something was WRONG.
I get to my dads, and Yep, TWO marines were waiting to give me the news that forever changed my life. I no longer was a new bride, I had became a widow.
Hours went by that first night, but it still felt like everything was on hold. I knew what had happened was real, but of course I didnt want to believe it. All my best friends and the girls that I had spend the whole deployment with were all still in Hawaii, and I needed them more then ever.
The next day came, and people came over (not really sure who all came, but i know alot of people showed up.) But of course that day went by just like the first night, slow and painful. That Sunday, April 4, Myself and JD(my caco) we headed to Dover, Delaware to meet with Curtis's Parents, Sister and Travis(their caco). A person never wants to go through something like this, but wow, seeing someone you love more then life itself being in a box with a flag over them, now thats something I can honestly say I NEVER want to see again. :(
(I Cant SPELL or WRITE all that well so just go with it)
