army wife

so yes it is something i signed up for
and no i didn't truly realize what it was.

so many people can say i told you so now...

my husband is going into the army
and is in rotc right now.
already so much of his time is devoted to it.
sometimes it SUCKS.
he has been gone this weekend
aaaaand he will be gone next weekend.
we never wake up together because he has early morning training every morning.

he is going to leave me for 4 weeks this summer
and a lot longer than that when he gets deployed later on
which I'm still hoping is a worst case scenario, perhaps naively.

i'm falling apart after what? 48 hours?
not even that....
i thought it would be nice to have alone time,
but its not alone time at all without my husband,
its time for me to feel completely incomplete.
im so pathetic, i realize.
i guess it makes it worse when I'm just home all day
in our apartment, by myself.
{which is partially my fault, but still}

i love him so much though.
and i support him whole heartedly
because i know he is doing this for me
and our future family.
he is such a stud, so diligent and hard working.
and what is marriage without sacrifice?

there are some definite pros to being an army wife too
tons of discounts at lots of places
sometimes happy strangers thank him for his service.
sometimes they even gratefully hand us a $20 bill {true story}
and we both have a greater love and respect for this country.

I'm proud of my army man

and i'll stand by him forever.

plus- oh my heck he is so cute!
