2012

So far this past year and this new year the question that gets me the most is:

Person 1-"How long is he gone?"
Me-"For a year..."
Person 1- "Oooh ( I feel bad for you look)"

Sometimes I think this deployment hurts them more than it hurts me. And I have every reason to think that with some of the looks I have gotten since he has left. But I am for one...not sitting and dwelling. I am proud of myself for that, because daily I see people that do.

Me and Daniel sometimes make fun of the people that are so wishy washy and emotional over a facebook status...it kills us. Because we just don't find that sweet or attractive. Now every once in awhile yes I do voice that I miss my husband. BUT you will NOT see me doing that every day or every other status. Daniel would kill me and I think I would question my sanity.

Does this mean I love my husband any less? No...it just means I don't need facebook to express my every moment of desire and love for my husband.

Also I miss him just as much as the next person misses their husband, but don't you think people know that already? Well if they have any common sense they do. So rationalize yourself and put something a TAD bit more interesting for your world to read. Not that my world is any more interesting yours, but...I am just sayin!

I heard a quote today that I liked " I am not an Army wife...I just happen to be married to a soldier..." Yes I am an army wife and it is something I am proud of but...I don't understand when people have nothing else. There is more to life than being an "Army Wife"...just annoys the living hell out of me...

Your husband went after what he wanted to do right? Then who is to say you can't as well? Why does the words "army wife" have to pre determine your life? I know it will not with my life and I fight every day for it not to.


** I am not saying anyone shouldn't miss their husband or voice their love for their spouse...I just want something more interesting to read on facebook most days. So no one needs to get all huffy puffy over this. :)**
