Dog and camping make me happy shirt

My first (the practice) husband was in the Dog and camping make me happy shirt military. When you’re in the military, you get paid per diem when you’re married. We had set a wedding date but decided to do a civil service a few months earlier so we could save the additional money to pay for our wedding. It did help. So technically, we married for money. For Per Diem. And it was a good thing we did because apparently the Navy screwed up his latest promotion paperwork, demoted and then *properly* promoted him (they’d messed up the paperwork) and because of this, they decided they’d overpaid him since they had paid him the higher-ranked pay and started taking money from his paychecks, about a quarter of his monthly pay. Then we had an emergency placement of my granddaughter and had some legal fees on top of the new house expenses and I put the marriage on the back burner. Especially since I couldn’t talk my dad into getting on a plane. Didn’t want to do it if my dad couldn’t make it so I’d had to adjust plans again to a “driving distance” but that put my husband’s family on the spot and I didn’t want his grandparents traveling across the country etc. My kids were growing up and moving out and giving me grandkids, my now-husband’s boss turns out was cheating him and I blew a gasket and we ended up moving back “home” (mine) so we could keep an eye on my daughter and let her have a relationship with my granddaughter.
