My husband is just the greatest man to me!!!!! :D

He's been gone 2 weeks, and I have had a smile on my face every day, no tears.
We are just doing our best to be stable and happy and supportive... our phone calls are the best and he leaves me sooo happy by the time we hang up. And I'm actually ok with hanging up, first deployment that's happened :)

Anyways, stay positive out there, it works!

thats good to hear! im trying very hard:D

:hugs What a great feeling! Keeping up and stay positive :)

Thats great!
I am working on staying positive, hopefully it will be better soon! :)

Thanks for the encouragement. I'll keep working on the positive attitude and smiles. :)

I decided awhile ago being negative about it all doesn't get either of us anywhere! Ya know, you still get sad here and there, but just embracing our life as is!

Awsome!
I hope I can be that way on the second half... the 1st half well..... ya know.

aw!! i'm so happy for you!
i love happy phone calls.

Thanks ladies!

Very true! I do take a day about once a month to just let it out, you know, glass of wine, sappy music and a good cry, then shake it off and start all good again lol Being positive actually helps the time goes by easier and quicker :)

Oh yes! If I'm really feeling it, I give myself a 24 hour pity party. But then I have to pick back up and be positive. I just feel so much healthier this way. I def do have a bad day every now and then though! I also think that after 3 years of him in and out, I'm just plain used to it now.

That's wonderful. I'm so happy it's easier this time around. :)

That's how I approached this deployment as well! It really did wonders. Had a few weak moments, but for the most part it was relatively stable!!!!

I'm glad things are going well so far!!! :hugs I'm proud of you Elizabeth!!!!

I'm waiting for women around here to say I don't miss my husband or I have a boyfriend or something... :lol Try to not say too much round here, but I know you girls understand!

:yay

That's great....:hugs..

Yay! I'm glad to hear you're staying so positive!!

That's so great to hear! (L) He is lucky to have you and you are lucky to have him! I hope the time is flying by for you!!
