Coping with Deployment #2

Hi ladies,

Since we are getting closer and closer to my husband return home I decided to do another coping with deployment update.

Since the last Coping with Deployment, I have started school and it is going very well. School really does keep me busy. I only have a few more classes until I earn my degree. I am so excited that I am one step closer to being able to work and do something that I love and not having to settled for something that I am not happy with. Throughout this deployment I have not watched the news or even read a newspaper. I never watched the news or read the newspaper even before I became an Army Wife so it wasn't hard to get accustomed to it. The only time I watched the news is when there is a storm heading this way and the only time I read the newspaper is to glance at the classified ad section to see what local jobs are hiring. If none of the job interest me I simple toss the paper in the trash. The last thing that has been occupying my time is my friends; one friend in particular. She has a 8 month of baby girl that I love so very much "my God-Daughter". She keeps me entertained whenever I go over to visit them which is almost nearly everyday.

As for my husband and I, we talk every single day no matter what. My husband walks in snow, rain, or weather is tired just to come and talk to me to make sure I am okay. Normally, he will call me twice a day when he isn't that tired, but if he is he calls once. I truly hope I don't get him in trouble, but even when there is a blackout he contacts me. He isn't able to call, but he will shoot me a quick message just to let me know that he is fine and the internet is down because of a blackout. He doesn't tell me why there is a blackout until the blackout is over due to the respect of the lost soldiers family. I truly appreciate my babe for taking the time out for me it is truly helping me get through this deployment a lot easier. Thanks babe! The higher up and deployment oldies (brain fart) recommend that the soldiers don't call there family members everyday, but as for my husband he is like forget ya'll I'm going to talk to my wife no matter what. LOL. He really did say that.

Early on during the deployment after he got settled in, he started to hear tons of stories from other soldiers that had been over there for a while. The stories of "Your Wife Will Cheat" "She is Cheating On You" or "She is not Going to be Faithful".  Yes, those type of stories. So he started to think negative thoughts. He started to question me everyday and wanted to check around the house. Yep it got that crazy for what seem like forever. I had to constantly tell him that nothing is going on over and over again until he finally got it through his head. After that guess what ladies you will go through that phase. Once he is acting normal and happy you will begin to think something and start asking him questions. It didn't take me that long to get over it. It was only 2 or 3 times that it happen to me, but the point is I still did it. Not only did it happen to us but it happen to a couple of my friends. They told me their experiences and I just said hmm this must be a phase that they go through once they get over there.

Well ladies that is all for this coping with deployment update. I hope you enjoyed. If you haven't read the first one then go check it out. Also I have a video of this on my YouTube channel.

Sorry

Hey everyone! I want to say thanks to those of you that found this blog to be a little bit interesting. Thank you for following me. I do apologize that I haven't been posting. I have so much stuff to post, but I feel like its so old that I shouldn't post it. Ugh. What to do..what to do? Should I? or Shouldn't I? lol

I didn't post Halloween pictures, the first time I got to see my husband since he been in Afghanistan, day out shopping, or OMG my hair. My hair looks horrible.

Do any of you all know any good hair stylist in Killeen, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, or Fort Hood, TX? I need my hair done asap. Help Me!!!

Well an update with me I quit my job because it sucked and the manager pissed me off. I couldn't really handle that job not with my husband gone. The customers really got to me simply because I wasn't focus on them I was focus on my husband and that really took its toll on me. It just took one small thing to tick me off to make me leave.
School: I tried to do my classes, but they only offered 2 this semester so I decided not to. Although I also had problems with MyCAA because I really don't understand how it works. I have to ask question. I'll be starting school in January now. Being that they don't have the major that I want to take I have to settle for Office Technology.
So I have just been have been hanging out with the new friends that I made since I been here. It really helps take my mind off worrying about if my husband is okay, but he still ends up on my mind no matter what. I don't think I have ever talked, bragged, or thought about him as much as I have since he been gone. OMG I truly miss him.
Now he is hassling me about getting a new job. I am on a job hunt now because he think that I am wasting my life by doing nothing. So I have to find a job. Yeah I know he cares... Army stories are ruining us. Ladies if you don't understand let me elaborate. The stories where the wives cheat while their husbands are deployed. My husband is so paranoid he thinks that I am going to cheat on him. I tell him over and over every single day that I'm not doing anything, but because of those stories and his dreams he is having a hard time believing me.
Well the holidays and our first year of marriage is ruin. Thanks Army! (FYI I was being sarcastic).

On a brighter note I was finally able to see my hubby since he been gone. This is when we used Yahoo Messenger. Now we use Skype. Thank God for Skype. We were not members of Skype until now. We truly appreciate it. It's much easier for the both of us.

Well ladies, I promise I want leave you hanging like that again. I'll update more often. Love ya lots, Army Wife

He's Coming Home...

We found out the great news yesterday that he will be coming home sometime next week. I can't give a specific day, but he will be here soon. Now it's back to planning this wedding. He wants to have the wedding on the 23rd of this month. He had a couple of his battle buddies, but now that they are at their duty stations they are unable to make it. So now he has to take his money  and help some of his friends buy their tuxedos just to make this wedding perfect. I can't believe it. We are in a need of a location to have the wedding. The location where the wedding was suppose to be at first is now booked. I truly hate that but I have to just keep looking.

My friends and cousins gave me a couple of good options, but my fiance wants to have the wedding at his church which is making it hard to find a good place to have the reception. I don't want to have to travel to another city to have the reception.

We are taking the cheapest route. I hate that. I have always dreamed of my wedding being extremely nice. Not sucky and cheap looking, but I have to take what I can get. Put on a smile and keep it moving I guess.

I'll keep ya'll posted.
