She's In the Navy Now





Yes, I'm wearing pants! I'm surprised I haven't shown you these pants yet! I've had them for years and they're the only pants I truly feel comfy in. They're authentic navy pants from the 40s. I love um! The handsome couple is my Grandpa and Grandma from my Moms side. I never got to meet them because they both died before I was born. Though, my Mom tells me I'm just like her Mama! The picture was taken back in the 1940s right after they got married. Soon after my Grandpa went to fight in WW2. He was a pilot, not a sailor, but it seemed like a fitting place to take these pictures anyway. They had quite the love story. A truly happy in love couple.
