Please be patient with me, this is my first attempt at blogging and really I'm just looking for somewhere to post all the big thoughts in my mind. I tried to use twitter but I'm not sure that format is the right one for me and venting/voicing all my frustrations and trials on facebook doesn't really appeal to me either. Sometimes things happen that are deeply personal and sometimes you don't really want your mother inlaw or other extended family reading all your private thoughts. So here I am!
Let me start off by stating the obvious, I am a military wife. I have been married to my active duty husband for heading on 12 years, we've been together for 13 years already. When I met him he was just at the beginning of his career, 5 years in and we were both naive, young and so very much in love almost from the day we met each other. Today our life together is much different, much more grounded and strong, we are deeply committed to one another and our 3 children.
Right now I am in the midst of deployment #3 or #4 if you include his year he spent right after we married unaccompanied overseas. I realize I am more fortunate than some and less fortunate than others with regard to deployment schedules and I would never presume to speak for other military wives but these thoughts that will be expressed in this blog are mine. It is my way of getting off my chest all those things I am perhaps to embarrassed to share with friends and family and documenting for my husband to hopefully read someday to glimpse what it's like to live on my end of deployment and life in general.
So come in, relax, enjoy and if you're particularly mean spirited in your comments, realize I'll have no choice but to delete them. =)
