Tag Archives: Army I have never been good at making friends. Like, ever. From as far back as I can remember, I have been told I “look mean.” Seriously. I never know what to say when someone I meet finally gets comfortable enough with me to say, “I thought you were mean.” Because, really, this face? Is nothing…  I can’t believe it’s almost over. Not much longer and I will have my wonderful and darling husband in my arms. We have made it through another deployment. Being a Reserve family, I don’t get to get my hubby as soon as he gets in the states. I have to wait an additional period of… I’m so excited for you Rebecca! I can’t wait to hear more!  This is one of my favorite pictures for a number of reasons. Mostly because it’s of my husband and me. This was taken the day before he left in the local park at family day. Shout out to my friend Megan for taking this! Matt bought me this dress because I just really liked… Newly Weds still.  This deployment is NOT my first rodeo. It is different in that my hubby and I are actually married this time – we were engaged the last deployment. Although each deployment is different for different reasons, certain things remain the same: the worry, the fear, the anxiety, the lack of sleep, etc. I just know… 1st – Congrats on the Army 10 Miler!!!! Your time is amazing!! Wow I feel like I wrote this. I’m right there with you! I totally understand! I do not think I have ever opened an article on FB that was posted until now. I had dinner last week with a customer whose husband is a few months away from a tour in Afg. She mentioned that every where her husband goes people stop to thank him (which of course she thinks is wonderful) but nobody ever thanks her for all of the tme alone with their 3 boys ages 1 through 7……So Julie, THANK YOU for being the wife of one of these proud, strong, brave men, and for ALL you do for our country! Thank you for sharing. That is it exactly, and even though you do your best, the middle of the night still kicks your butt. iD recommend a silly girls night of good chick flicks that he never wants to watch, and laughter. Love, a fellow army wife. Hang in there. He’ll be home soon Wow Tom. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m afraid I’m in the midst of a mid-deployment funk and feeling a little isolated. The tides will turn, they always do, but I appreciate the help getting over the hump! Hang in there Julie!! Let us know what you need Julie. Hang in there!!  We all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when it happened. Whether in the heart of New York City when the ground began to tremble, stranded at an airport when all commercial flights were grounded, or glued to a television set thousands of miles away from the chaos, watching helplessly as… |

I love your story and you are a super cute couple. I will be celebrating my 20th Wedding Anniversary to my soldier this Sept 11th. Good things also happened on that day. I married my soul mate and couldn’t be happier or prouder of him!
I’ve always believed it’s much harder to be the one left behind than to be the one who is leaving. I completely understand your feelings!
Yes! I never put two and two together like that, but, yes, it is so much harder to be left behind!
So much love! I feel another you tube dedication coming on…
I love this! You are a witty writer.
DO IIITTTTTTT.
I will always laugh at your jokes. Forever and always. I wish we’d known each other in Korea.
Yup. This one seems normal too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZp6pmgbZyU
