We are roughly 11 weeks into this deployment it feels like Shaun
and I have been apart for much much longer.
I know I have not written in a while so I thought I would share what I have
been up to. For starters I have been
working 40 hours a week at the pool. Working
has made the weeks go by fast so I am very thankful for that. The wives and I have been hanging out a few
times a week it is nice being able to talk to women who know exactly what you
are feeling. I think it was a couple of
weeks ago that all of us were feeling really down. During deployments there comes a time when
you realize your husband is not just gone for a couple of months for a training
exercise he is gone for 5-7 months in a different country and it hurts, your
heart hurts. You keep thinking oh he
will be home in a few weeks then all of a sudden you realize oh no there is
still about 5 months to go. I have
decided that I hate when people ask me when my husband is coming home because
when I tell them I still have roughly 4 months to go they always respond oh my that’s
so far away I feel like saying to them DUH YOU THINK I DON’T KNOW IT’S FAR
AWAY!!! I only sit at home waiting for that phone call or waiting for that
message on facebook (thank God for technology).
I know how long I have till I get to see my husband’s face again please
people don’t remind me that I have a long way to go. Sorry for the little vent I guess I get tired
of putting on a brave face to strangers trying to pretend that deployments
really aren’t that bad. They suck!
But in other news last week my mom and little brother came
out to visit me we had a fun weekend filled with lots of Disneyland. I really
miss my mom. Then this weekend my sister came out to visit it was a much needed
sister vacation (stay-cation for me). She brought her two boxers with her so it
was two of us and three of them let’s just say the coffee table had to be moved
to the corner because my family room is actually just an extension of my
backyard.
That’s about all that has happened in the last 10 weeks that
I haven’t written. I know super exciting I hope you have enjoyed reading. Until next time J
