Best Christmas Gift EVER!

So I was moping around the house tonight feeling down cause of Christmas....and the phone rings!!!!!! Its the hubby and that was special enough for christmas week!!!

So we get to talking and he said he can't wait to open his gifts in a few days, and that he really misses being at home...and he said he is glad I bought myself my pot set (I got it a few days ago on sale for 70 percent off which made them only 300 dollars, and they are my dream pots I've wanted for years Royal Doulton Stainless Steel) for Christmas. Then our conversation went like this....

"So I've been thinking of enrolling in night university classes when I get home" -Hubby
"Oh ya to finish your med school?" -me
"Not really...' - Hubby
"Oh something else then?"
"Ya something like Hospitality management' - hubby
"What? thats the course im taking in like 10 years?!!!" - me utterly confused
"Well you see I was thinking while you work on your red and gold seal Ill get the hospitality management degree and then we can open up your restaurant sooner, in like the next five years." - hubby

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!! I started crying I am sooooooooo happppyyyy he is giving me the best gift EVER he is helping even more than ever me reach my dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He wants to open the restaurant in 5 years or less!!!!!!!!!! BEST EVER I AM STOKED....<3
Best christmas gift of my life.

Same old waiting game

Just sitting here late at night as usual wondering about the future. I am really tired of this waiting game that has become our relationship....training = waiting, courses = waiting, deployment = alot of waiting and worrying.

Im tired of it, I can't wait for these next 4 months to fly by, It has been going pretty fast even I'll admit that, but I can't wait for a normal-ish relationship where he comes home everynight, I wont have to sit and worry if one of our buddies hero pictures will be on the front page of the newspaper when I awake, or worse a dreaded phonecall or doorbell ring at my own house. I just don't want to live this lifestyle anymore our whole relationship has been this.

It SUCKS and its not enjoyable, many of you are lifers with your man and for that I think your amazing and strong women I'd never want to do this forever. But you are all strong and will make it through, I know this as I rely on you on my bad days.

I guess what im saying is I WANT HIM HOME. Almost 12 weeks down, almost half done.

He called FINALLY

Hey just thought I would let you all know that he finally called, a month with no phone calls has come to an end.

I am EXTREMELY emotional right now so I can't write much but basically:

Its killing me inside how homesick he is.
He got all my mail finally
He really wants HLTA to start
He hasn't changed one bit, thankfully

I am feeling every kind of feeling there is right now, but mostly I just crazy miss him and want this to end.

Can't stop crying!!!!

I just wanted to let you ladies know, I finally got an email from the hubby....I am completely overwhelmed with emotions in a GOOD way. He knows just what to say to make me get that boost of strength i needed to carry on.

Thanks for all the support lately. =*) 66 days down!

FML...

Argh!!!!!! So after no contact from the hubby for two weeks I finally got an email two days ago saying he was going to try to call tomorrow *which was yesterday* after no call, and NO call this morning either....BEEP-BEEP my phone goes at lunch telling me I got a facebook message from Matt.

Bad News: phone circuits down won't be able to call for at least another two weeks.

FML I wanted sooooo badly to hear his voice now I have to go a whole month without hearing from him, or longer.

I can't wait for this deployment to be over with....a relationship is hard to keep up when you don't get to talk to the person you love and married. Whats worse is I am starting to forget those things he does how he hugs, kisses, talks, etc....I know we all go through that but I just want to talk to him.

Thanks for all the ladies who have been there and still are. BLAH
Hope you all had better days.

You want to WHAT?

So I just got off the phone with my wonderfully TERRIBLE mother-in-law!!!!!!!!!! None of you will believe this but this is how our conversation went!!

"So im going to be down on Friday to drop off your guy's christmas gifts." i said.
"Okay, well I needed to talk to you about something..." MIL
"Sure whats up?" me
"I need to stay at your's and Matts place for 5 days at the end of Janurary" MIL
***SHOCK!!! WTF!!! WE ARE ON HLTA!!! OKAY KEEP IT COOL BE POLITE*** my brain!
"Um, well we are on HLTA then" Me
"Great so it will work out perfectly I can stay with you guys longer then!" MIL
"Well you see we might not be home and such cause we are going skiing, so i don't think it will work" ME
"Well I don't see why not, if your gone I can get your mail and such" MIL
"I really don't see....." Me
"I gotta run, talk to you on Friday about it!"


WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have not seen my husband for 4 months and a few odd days and you want to crash at our place and spend time with us!? Especially when we had already told ALL our families that we are not talking to or seeing them during HLTA!

We as a couple as our family, need to spend quality time together. Not quality time with someone who hates me!

Read the news...BAD IDEA

So I made a big mistake after having a semi-bad day. I read the news about afghanistan. Well to put it lightly my husbands regiment wrote a whole article about how the tanks got hit by IED's alot in the past tour. And how no one got killed and only two got injured it still scares me so much. Also I read that the situation in Afghanistan is alot worse than everyone thought, and I also read that with the INCREASED level of taliban activity this winter my husbands tour should be quite eventful and not in a good way. Also I read that there is a high rate of PTSD in afghan vets.

I am crying and I miss him, and I want him to come home and be the same man that left. And I want him to call and I want this war to be over so no one has to go through this.
