The past twelve months have been true life changers for Lance Corporal Steven Mathis. Just before leaving Camp Pendalton in January, 2014 for a year long deployment, he married the love of his life, Shawna Bailey, after a whirlwind romance that started when they met at the Gentleman's Club at
which she worked. Little could he have known how different life would be upon his return.
"When my platoon arrived back in San Diego, I planned to surprise Shawna with a visit to her job." stated Corporal Mathis. Donning three dozen red roses and trinkets from his deployment, he was surprised to find that his new bride had taken a leave of absence from Big Earl's. "Needless to say, I was the one surprised when I drove to our apartment and found my blushing bride had gained over 100 pounds from a pregnancy that I knew nothing about." continued the exasperated Marine. "I mean, I'm thrilled that we have a two week old baby girl and that my wife is happy and healthy. I'm just a little overwhelmed by the news." he concluded.Shawna spoke briefly in an exclusive interview with our reporters. Beaming with an indescribable glow, Mrs. Mathis disclosed in private, "I'm most grateful for two things in my life: chocolate covered Twinkies and that Steven is really bad at math."
