My name is Kendra and I am 20 years old.  I married the love of my life and best friend on June 25, 2006.  His name is Jeremy.  He's currently in Baghdad, Iraq.  He deployed this past February and will not return until May 2008.  We are expecting our first child (unplanned), a boy, on September 13!  We're naming him Aiden.  Jeremy will be able to come home for 18 days around that time so he can be here for the birth (hopefully).  We lived in Manhattan, Kansas from the time we got married until he left in February and then I moved back in with my parents in my hometown in Arkansas.

I'm not your typical Army Wife.  I don't participate in activities on post and I don't gossip about the other wives.  Actually, I've only met like maybe... 2 or 3 of the other wives and they were all around my age.  If you've ever watched the show Army Wives on Lifetime, it's pretty much accurate with the way the wives are.  My husband isn't in the Army for life.  He signed up for 3 years and once his contract is up in January 2009 we're getting the hell out and moving back to Arkansas!

I'm currently enrolled at Arkansas State University majoring in Nursing.  Once I graduate Nursing school, I will go two more years to be a Nurse Anesthetist.  I can not wait to start my career!!  My life hasn't always gone the way I expected it to, but I love it like this and I wouldn't have it any other way!
