~Thank God for good friends and family~

I don’t know what I’d do without the awesome support system my husband and I have.. We would get through it all of course, but it really means so much to feel the support of the ones you love. 

This morning around 6 am (UM YEAH I WAS DEAD ASLEEP!) my phone started basically ringing off the hook…

First it was my brother in law, then it was one of my hubby’s best friend’s ex-gfs, then it was my father in law, then it was my mother in law, then it was my other brother in law, then it was one of the other best friends, … the list goes on….. I honestly thought the world was ending. 

Turns out my wonderful husband had posted this on his Facebook and everyone was trying to wake my ass up for him! 

“It’s early in the morning over there, someone wake up my Darling Wife! I can’t call her right now and I’m on Skype!” 

Apparently like 15 Facebook messages from him and the little tiny ‘blip’ notifications it sends to my phone was NOT cuttin it as far as pulling me from my COMA. Considering I only went to bed a couple hours prior because of a paper that was kicking my bootay. 

So although I was a total zombie for our Skype visit, it was so nice to be able to talk to him and see his face, all dirty and his hair is starting to get longer.. It was especially nice to just see his face while I was in bed… ;) It was just nice having him in my bed again! haha

Anyways, after we had to disconnect, I was thinking about how lucky we are to have such great people that love us and always want the best for us. They are always there, cheering us on.. loving us.. helping us through every obstacle this military life throws our way, without ever even being asked. I just feel very blessed to know these people, and to have them in my life. I know not everyone is that lucky, but it is something I wish for everyone! Whether these people take the form of family members, or supportive friends that know what you’re going through. Make the effort to reach out and to make these connections, because they are irreplaceable!

~Better than nothin!~

It’s been two grossly slow weeks since I’ve been able to talk to my husband.. The longest amount of time of no communication of this deployment. 

I almost forgot how LAME this part is…. almost. 

But today, for some strange reason, I got this feeling like I should look on his Facebook page.. which I only ever do if I’m gonna write something to him, or I get a notification that he’s (finally) updated something haha.. But on there I saw one of his guys that’s deployed with him, wrote a message to me, for him, on his wall so that I’d see it. It was basically just explaining that he couldn’t get to the computers and that he loved me and will call asap. It was just nice to hear that he’s doing good, and that even though he was crazy-busy.. still thought enough about me to make sure and send one of his guys to leave me a message. What a sweetheart! Now if only my phone would just RING! ;)

~Floating on air~

I would just like to take this moment to once again thank Skype for it’s amazing-ness.

Holy shit. I think I could fly!

That was 45 minutes of pure heaven, getting to see my husband!!! Afghanistan is officially freezing so I’ll start to increase the amount of those hand/body warmers in his packages, but seeing him smile and hearing him laugh is making me the happiest human on earth right now :) 

I got really choked up when we had to say goodbye tho… Which honestly caught me off guard because we were having such a good time and then BANG lump in the throat! Although I obviously loved visiting with him from across the planet… It made me miss him even more.. I didn’t want it to end! But thank goodness for a quick recovery once he noticed and demanded I stop that nonsense, since it would do nothing but make him feel sad…  but it feels so nice to hear him tell me I’m gorgeous again and to hear that he misses me just as much as I’m missing him. 

I love that man to bits. 

Hip hip hooray for Skype!
