Deployment Length

Take one day at a time!

Added by Allee Campbell on March 31, 2012 at 8:40pm — No Comments

The countdown begins.....

I have begun to countdown two very important things coming up...deployment followed by a PCS. My husband leaves, again, in November and when he gets back we will have about a  month before we leave. While we do not know where we are going yet I hate that I have to prepare to move yet again. Hopefully we will actually get something that we want this time and not whatever is left or another 12 month deployment to the desert. I guess we will know in a few months what the verdict is.

Just ranting

So my "friends" get mad at me because they say I'm up my boyfriends ass. That's why they never ask me to hang out with them and pf course because I actually speak up for myself unlike anyone else in the group I'm the bad one. I can't wait to leave high school. And I mean of course I want to be with my boyfriend because unlike them I actually have a good guy who loves and cares about me. I'm so annoyed

I'll Always Be With You✈

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together. There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you✈

M goodness, I miss my husband so much..I wish I was in his arms right now..

Housing on base or outside of base

Hello there everyone.. My husband is deployed right now and when he comes back, we're debating about living in those housing on base or outside of base. Which is good to start out with? any advice? My husband and I are pretty new with this whole military life style... Thanks! :)

stressed!

So me and my boyfriend argue a lot of stupid things, because we are always stressed out over missing eachother. But we love eachother so much and get along when we are together...am I the only one??

I will follow him, I will wait for him!

She packs. She moves. She follows. Why? What for? How come? You may think she's lost her mind. Actually, she's lost her heart. It was stolen from her by a man. A man who puts duty first, who longs to deploy, who salutes the flag, and whose boots in the doorway remind her that as long as he is ...her Military Man, She will ...remain his Military Sweetheart. I love my Airman♥

new start

Well Im new all around...new to this page and this is my first move from my family :( this has probably been one of the hardest obstacles I have had to work through and Im not even worked through it. I thought it would be easy moving and having a fresh start but that means starting over with school and a lot of other things. Its lonely for sure...my husband is not deployed yet but the schooling hes in is very demanding of his time and I hardly see him and hes about the only person I see…

What I have with him is worth it.

It is worth every lonely night, every tear I cry from missing him and the pain I feel from not having him close. It is worth it because he is my one and only. When I picture myself years from now, I see only him. No matter how painful distance can be, not having him in my life would be so much worse

It's always the little things he does...

that means so much.

Deployment is a rough road, not just for Michael, but for me and his family as well. I love my soldier more than anything else in this world, and although sometimes co-workers who complain about their boyfriends who live 10 minutes from them get to me Michael always knows when to say or do the right thing to make this deployment easier on us both.

Lucky for me, my boyfriend is obsessed with anything and everything Apple. He had the original iPhone 3G, which…

A Marine's Promise

One my friends posted this, and I have to warn you it is a tear jerker, i def cried, but its an amazing thing to read.

“I cannot promise you every night of my life. I cannot promise to be beside you during every difficult moment, every trial, and every hardship. In truth, I can promise you that I will not be with you for most. I will leave you at inconvenient times. Any special date to us may be tainted with the anniversary of the death of one of my friends. I will…

The Hardest Part (Poem)

Tall and proud she watches, eyes shining with tears that will not fall

Focused on the horizon she is deaf to the questions and comments around her

The flag waving high on the ship and the sailors along the rails are her only concern

As they fade from sight she whispers her prayer for a safe return beneath the crowd

 

Strong and sure he stands in his blues, waiting for shore to fade and work to begin

Leaving is hard, but this is the life he’s chosen…

I hate this part

I just spent an amazing weekend with him. And now I have to go home. I don't know when I'll get to see him again. Even before I had to leave him I started distancing myself. I hate that I do that to him. I don't want to it happens unconsciously. I miss him so much. Does anyone have any advice about how not to do this?

Wife of a Sailor (Poem)

There are never enough hours in a day

Not when goodbye is so close, and the future is never certain

There is always the need to hold you close one more time

To say I love you and hear the reply soft in my ear

To feel your arms around me and breathe you in

But faith and memories are what carry us through

 

There are never enough words to tell you all that I feel

Waiting for the announcement telling me I have to leave

That it’s…

feeling lonely.

lately, all ive done is babysit, go to school, and go to work. i bought my wedding dress on friday, and am slowly but surely starting to plan our wedding. i just wish stephen could be here to plan with me. i miss him more and more every day. i know what he is doing is a great thing, i just  wish i could hear his voice or hug him. ive gotten to the point where i crave to feel him there. or his embrace. 

when i start to feel this way i feel so selfish. i know he's defending our country…
