Want to learn a perk about deployments, insert head nod here, you get to fall in love with your spouse all over again.
Really, you do.
Honestly, this deployment hasn't been that horrible. I miss my husband tremendously..I miss him so much that it makes my heart ache. I get that knot in my stomach and I find myself constantly choking back a lump in my throat. I find that I cry at the drop of a hat over anything that reminds me of him. I miss him, but man..I am so proud of him!!
Last week I assembled a list of items I wanted to send in his first care package. The list includes lots of junk food, framed photographs for his desk at work and an assortment of other stuff. This past weekend was spent going out to different stores and buying things that would make my husband laugh and think 'only my wife!'. In those activities, I was able to fall in love with him all over again. I was given the opportunity to show him that I was thinking about him, by putting thought into each item. I can't wait to hear from him when he opens his box. Speaking of which..I think I need a bigger box. As I sit here with all my items beside me..I don't think they'll fit in the box my mother-in-law gave to me. I may need a couple more!!
What a fun thing to be able to do for him, in fact, I plan on doing a box each pay period! I want each box to feel like a bit of home. The miles may separate us, but they most definitely can't keep us apart.

That IS a great idea to send home overseas. Beyond just letters and cookies. You guys are too cute!
I am so very proud of your husband and YOU girl. I am very thankful for his service and for each of your family's individual sacrifices as you go thru this deployment. I am also very happy I have the opportunity to have gotten to know you. You are truly an inspiration to watch. As you go from one phase to the next.... you have been strong for your man and your girls. :-) I admire you so much!
