About Me:
I am a new army wife. My husband and I just got married April 11 of this year and on May 10th he deployed to Afghanistan. I never knew that it would be this hard. I am spending his deployment in my hometown of Milwaukee, WI where I work for the police dept and am very lucky to have the support of my friends and family. Once my husband returns I will be moving to Fayetteville, NC and am looking forward to finally beginning our life together
I joined this website to meet and talk to people that have gone through or going through similar situations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
I am so proud of my husband for what he does for our country! Support out troops

That sounds like it sucks working or a dick… do you get to see him often or do u see him sometimes because then that works out huh? Yeh I hate people who treat me like ok I am not a freakin kid I am 27 and I feel like I am 57 … so don’t mess with me LoL….
Sometimes I really do feel like that .. sometime I think like gives you soo much you just feel older than u really are .. at least in my case!

He got to call today it was a little funny on the phone . Not tense just like he would talk and I would talk but there wasn’t a connection there like I just felt .. weird .. that is why I hate when I don’t talk to him for a long time because there is this distance I feel sometimes .. I don’t know if you know what I mean. But it was ok after a while he started laughin and I did too but like I told him I am just ready for all this crap to be over!
I just feel like I build this wall up just so I don’t constantly think about him because it causes soo much anxiety when I do.

Wow 4 classes and work that sounds like a lot girl!!! GOOD FOR YOU.. but try not to overwhelm yourself soo much that is not good for you. But I bet you being that busy helps huh.. everyone is different .. you do what helps you through all this CRAP!! LOL….

My son is doing good. He started school yesterday and he tell me small stuff but his teacher writes out his day for me so I know what he did … he loves to draw so he sends me all this drawings and he hangs them in his room.lol.
He made 3 the other day and I mailed them to his daddy so he can have them!!

Well girl have a great night and a great day tomorrow!!

OMG! you were so right... fayetteville BLOWS! That area is ridiculous. And of course the apartments in the good areas they screw you in the ass in terms of move in fees and rent. Geez, now we are going to have to pay up the ass for rent now because i refuse to bring our baby girl to those types of areas. Ive been looking at 3 apartment complexes in the some what good areas which have gated communities which is nice. I mean these apartments are really nice but expensive. Still job hunting. Applied for some county and city jobs, because i work for a county now, so pray for me and hopefully i'll find something. My husbands goes on leave next week. He gets to be home for 10 days! YAY!

I am on day four of a five day orentation.... and i am so glad i am almost over.... yesterday was really bad.... i had a melt down.... like a hundred times.... BUT finally last nite Jordan called.... it was only for ten minutes or so, but he called and i feel so much better.... we talked, and laughed and i really really needed that!!!

I told Jordan the same thing.... i know cops have a bit of a different schedule but at least he will come home ever nite!!!!! and it is still dangerous, but again at least i get to see him every day!!!!! I didnt know they were the highest paid wahoo that is great!!!! hahahahaa


I agree I hate money.... and i am worried by the time we are ready to buy, we wont be able to afford anything because prices will go back up....

THe baby itch is so funny... i cannot wait to be a mother, but then i am already worried about finances, and school, and work.... haahhahaa..... but man do i want babies hehehee

I hope you have a great thursday :) wahoo almost friday ahahhaa

I have been good.. I have a couple of orientations at work.. so we will see I just found out from other staff members that a couple people I work with aren’t the nicest to watch my back and that is not the kind of environment I wanted to place myself in but what u gonna do that is life huh???
My supervisor is the sweetest man .. so I am thankful for that. I stay busy it is a great job!

I am sure you will get that job with the autism society that sounds really exciting for you. I bet you cant wait huh? That is great you got to talk to your husband. My husband hasn’t called in like 3 days and I was soo upset about it.. but I cant do anything about it. But sometimes I feel like my day goes by better if I just hear his voice you know.

So your excited for school to start .. how many are u taking this semester?
I hope it isn’t MATH lol…god I hate it. lol..

Well I hope you have a great day tomorrow..

That so sucks that your husband's return was pushed back a few months. You must have been so disappointed. That's why when people ask me when my husband is coming home I say he's "supposed" to be home in February. Stay strong...

I agree... those poor poor guys!!!!!

Im so glad you got to talk to him for a long time... even if you have nothing to say... which is rare hehee.... but even silence, just knowing they are on the line, it makes me feel so much better.... I am hoping he calls tomorrow...

I am doing a little better.... just missing him, but as you know when does that ever end...

My dad sounds like your mom... he also has a blackberry and can never work it hahahaa.... i think it is funny how much computers were a part of our generation, and so NOT for theirs ahahhaa.. and my second graders were getting typing lesson last year.... so i think it is only a matter of time before we stop writing on paper all in general...

It is funny how that happens... you are scared to move, and then you just want it all done.... i know that feeling.... i just want him here and us to buy a home!!!!! and im worried about interest rates, and home prices.... CA is not the cheapest place to buy, but we wont be able to until he is working for the police force.... and i am wondering if we would be better off waiting one more year to have a baby, but i really really want kids.... so we will just have to wait and see... i need to get into Kaiser, and the eye doctor, and the dentist... and enjoy my new medical insurace... wahoo for teachers hahahahaa.... thank god i am done with TriCare... if you live on base it is great!!! but off base... it is a pain to find a doctor, do the paperwork, make the apts... yea... im glad i am done with that!!!! ehehhee

Training went good today and from now on I am at my school site... that will make it much better for me.... not that i dont love my mom... i so do.... but it will be nice to have my own space, my own place!!!!

Ok well im going to relax... i have to be ready at 6:45am tomorrow so it is nap time/bed time hahahaah

Talk to you soon... hope all goes well for the rest of the week :)

Hey chica,

Oh i am so glad Jordan finally called yesterday.... again we only had like 10 minutes... but man did i need that time.....

Orentation was funny.... there was a girl i graduated with who is a first year teacher, a friend of mine just got married, his wife was in there, a girl who graduted from my high school in 2004, and the mom of a teacher i had in 7th grade.... hahahaha I live in such a small town hahahaha...

Jordan is doing good, and wishes he were home of course, and he has been swimmin in mud for the past three days..... a dozer got stuck in a dried up lake.... well they thought it was dried up, but i guess not....

So he has been laying on his chest dipping his hands into this thick mud to dig out the wheels....and he was hoping for the chance to shower soon.... all the guys are on meds from the doc, incase the mud had any diseases n stuff.... how gross is that....

ok well im off to day two, just wanted to write a quick note :)

Hope your week is going good

Yea... i heard that song for the first time, the weekend when jordan left, and my i was waving good bye to my mom as she was going home, and i was on my way to work... i balled... let me tell you... i cannot believe i did not get into an accident... i just balled.... and again when i saw the music video just a fewl days ago for the first time... it is just so hard!!!

Your words mean so much to me.... I thought i would try to write this morning.. before i have to leave for my first day of training and i am so glad i did.... i really needed to hear that before this days really starts... Katie thank you so much... and as much as i am there for you and Eve, you and Eve are there for me!!!!

I truley do not know what i would do without your girls.... and i am so glad this site was created!!!! Thank you so much, and now i feel i can make it through this day, even if my phone does not ring.... i know i can still make it through...

We will be so strong after this.... there is nothing we cannot do after we get through this... and Jordan and i say the same thing... if we can make it through this we can make it through anything.... and we have already made it through this once... i know we can do it again... just a couple more months...grrrr...

And we will share those couple pictures with eachtoher... We will know how much they mean... and how lucky we are to finally have our men home!!!

Hi ! I love your wedding pictures. My husband & I weren't married that long before he was deployed. We had lived together for a while but I still feel like I'm waiting to start our life together when he gets back. I was happy to find this site cause no matter how much people mean well, they don't really get it unless they're experiencing it.
