How I did it: Stephen left for 6 months less than 2 months after we were married. We were already pretty prepared for distance because the entirety of our courtship was long-distance. We knew that communication is important, and being understanding is also a huge factor. I was afraid of being alone, because I had never lived by myself before, and I loved it. I missed him too though and that was kind of an inner conflict I had. I tried to keep myself as… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My husband deployed for 15 months. I was living in a new state, just got married and off he went. It was hard the first month but then I found my own routine. I took up a lot of hobbies, made new friends and looked forward to calls and letters. Read how I did it…

We are so blessed to be able to communicate at least once a week and often times more than that. Email, chat and phone calls. Such a blessing.

I’ve found some amazing Army Wives to hang out with. It’s really helpful. I know they won’t let me drown!

I just want to throw things! Enjoying his being home on leave, but not happy that that means boots will be moving to the Middle East soon. We’re both pretty stressed, but we are dog gonned determined to enjoy this little time we have together and not fight. It’s working. I’m not sure how I’m going to let him go, but I’ll cross that bridge when the time comes.

Stephen found out that he can’t come home until 9:30pm on Sunday, instead of midnight on Saturday. Apparently someone REALLY likes Japan or REALLY hates me. I don’t know which one it is… but I’m not happy.
WHYYYYYYY??????

I’ve got the rest of today, and then all of Friday and Saturday to get through, then he’ll be here. It seems so sudden. It doesn’t even feel like he’s been gone that long. I have started getting sick from stress and anxiety. I always get sick when I get stressed. I just want everything to be perfect. I want the house to perfect, I want his first dinner home to be perfect, I want to look perfect… I want everything to just be exactly what I see in my head just once, and I’m afraid it won’t be.
UUUUUUGGGHHHH!!!
I’m bored now too. I have purposely not cleaned the whole house yet because I know that I’ll want to clean (I clean and organize when I get upset) on Saturday or Friday, so I’m like, purpose;y leaving tiny messes so I’ll have something to clean up later and occupy my time. I’ve been sleeping a lot to take up time, watching tv, reading, listening to music, anything to keep from thinking or being bored.
