Ahhh the life as a corpsmans wife... Where do i even start? The late night/early morning skype calls, the sleepless lonely nights, wishing you had someone to cook for, lay in bed with or just simply watch tv with...
My husbands on a year long tour (or more) to Afghanistan. Is it easy? No! But did anyone ever say it would be? Negative. Although some time has gone by i still feel as if this madness has just started. Its hard, very hard but... I keep it positive. No one wakes me up in the morning, but when i get that call at 6 and sometimes 5 AM, the joy that it brings to my heart can not be expressed through words. Hearing his voice & seeing his face absolutely melts my heart! And let me tell you.. Us military wives dont miss a call, EVER. Those calls are what keep us going, he is the reason i wake up every day and i wouldn't trade that for anything.
Some might say "20 years old and married?" well.. You're damn right age is just a number. I actually got married at 18, sure thats young but who is to judge anyways? When you love someone that much, your age and the distance doesn't matter. I would wait 10 years for him if i had to. Hes such an amazing man & wonderful husband.
Withinour 18 months of marriage we have spent about 7 months of that together due to deployments. As much as it breaks my heart to watch him leave, i sure as hell cant wait for him to come home! Homecoming in 2012 will be one of the happiest days of my life. He is my absolute hero (if you cant tell). Until then ill continue to spoil him with goodies and care packages :)
Well thats about all ive got for now! :)
