First stop on my Husbands Deployment, Hawaii! They anchored there about 2 weeks ago (for security reasons I wont mention what ports he's in currently until they leave). They were only in port for 1 1/2 days though. Unfortunately, Jordan had duty. Poor baby! He did get about 3hrs where he was able to go out into port and get a Hamburger and a GoPro Camera. I told him his crappy iPhone pictures were not cutting it! He said it was a pretty odd scene while in Hawaii. It was RIMPAC week (it's the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise). So, he was watching a bunch of Japanese Ships pull in and dock into Pearl Harbor.... If watching Japanese Ships pull into Pearl Harbor, passing Submarines their country sunk 71 years ago isn't confusing/emotional...I don't know what is!
On September 23rd 2010 I met my Soul Mate. We couldn't wait to be Husband and Wife so we eloped October 28th 2011. The hardest part about this relationship...well, now Marriage, is that my Husband is in the Military. More specifically, he is a Sailor. My Husband, Best Friend, Rock and Soul Mate leaves for his first Deployment in June 2012. I find blogs to be so helpful when it comes to being a Military Spouse, so I decided to create my own.
I didn't want this to just be a journal, but also a way to share care package ideas, resources and tips to others with a loved one in the Military. I want to share my rough times to show that other Women or Men are not alone in this crazy lifestyle. I want to be able to give support and hope to those who are also Military Spouses. So, this is my journey through my Sailors first deployment and the bitter/sweet life as a Navy Wifey.
