Top Two Tuesday

Top 2 Things you've learned about relationships

Trust: In order to make a relationship work you must trust the one whom your in the relationship with. Trust is one of the most important things specially in a marriage. 
Selflessness: You must be selfless in a relationship. Give your everything to make the other person happy, that way both of you will be looking gout for each other. I make sure my husband is happy and I try to give him the world. In return he does the same, that way we are both living a happy and wonderful life together.
I will be starting top two Tuesdays now every week!

Getting back into the 'Wife' Routine

So we arent too far off from the day my husband gets home from Iraq (yayyyyyyyy!!) I was sitting there looking at my list of things I have to get done as it quickly is getting shorter, because well Im excited. I then started thinking about all the 'wife' duties I havent really needed to do because I have been living like a bachlorette for over 6 months. I dont cook unless I want to so most of the time dinners consist of doritos, a bowl of ice cream, or my favorite: nothing! I sit and watch lifetime movies all day or whatever else I feel like with no worries about having to fight with anyone over the remote. I  rarely wear makeup unless Im going out somewhere important. I live in Matts basketball shorts and shirts that are too big. I shave only when Im going to the doctors, because thats the most action I have gotten in 6 months. Me and the dogs take up most the whole bed. My stuff has taken up the whole bathroom and well I am up all through the night because I cant ever sleep and sometimes I lay in bed all day long only moving for food and to go to the bathroom lol. All that has to change thats for sure. Starting next week Im going to have to cook actual meals everyday for dinner and breakfast, I have to share the tv unless I want to be in separate rooms as my husband, I should probably shave more then once a week and wear decent clothes to sleep in so Im somewhat attractive to him, I have to share the bathroom and our bed, and clean up after 2 which with him home is ore like cleaning up after 4. My vacation was fun now its time to but on the wife hat and do what I was made for! I wonder how long it will take me to get back on track and remember farting is not something my husband wants to hear hahahaha jk

Such a true post!

Hes Coming home right?

So why is it that I miss him more?? Arent I supposed to stop being sad and be happy because I can see it. I can see the date, its almost here! I miss him more then I did yesterday and more yesterday then I did the day before. I am an emotional roller coaster. One second Im happy Im giddy and antsy, I cant sleep because Im so excited. Its so close we are making plans counting down the days doing our last this and last that before he comes home. The next second Im crying, I miss him, my heart yearns for him. I miss his smell, his kisses, his touch.. gosh I miss his touch. Then I feel nervous. Nervous to not be alone anymore, nervous to have to take care of someone else.. but the nervous feeling doesnt last long before Im back to feeling giddy or sad. I can feel it, I just know that the second I see him step off that plane and we are embraced in each others arms once again for the first time in over 6 months I will just let it all go.. all the stress of everything I have gone through. My surgery, each sickness, each doctors appointment, moving, money, cars, dogs, family. Each task I took on alone that should have been taken on together. And Im embarrassed to say the anger. The anger toward him for wanting to deploy and the anger toward the military for making him go, for taking him away from me for far too long. The time I needed him, wanted him the most. I will let it all go. I will be crying because Im happy and thankful that he is home,that he is safe, but I will be crying because I can just let it all go. I dont have to do it anymore, not alone at least. He is home and we will be a couple again. Growing as a couple, taking things on as a couple. And that is something to cry tears of joy over. To being with the one you love, the one god made just for you, so you dont have to face things alone.

Its true, that deployments will make or break a couple. Weather your dating, engaged, or married, It will make or break you. This deployment made us. We mate it through the hardships of everything and came out a better, stronger couple. That right there is something to be proud of.

       Dear Deployment: We kicked your ass!
