this is who I am
So I guess its time for another update. Chris and I are doing great… we had a little tiff last night I guess you could say but neither of us really got into a fight… it was more like Chris was really frustrated and things just weren’t going his way and he was being really moody. I went to bed without him last night and it sucked but in a way it was good to know that I can because in 2 weeks, less then that even, he will be gone for 2 weeks for a class for the Army and I will be home by myself…. waiting like a good Army wife does. *sigh*
I am worried about this class but I am trying to keep a handle on my worry…. and I’m worried because this class may lead to him getting deployed and yeah I know that he doesn’t really mind getting deployed and yeah that hurts a little because I wish he wanted to stay home with me no matter what, but that is not the life that we are living so I am just going to have to grin and bear it. I think that I have kept a good lock on my feelings about it all… I know that Chris worries about me and I know that he doesn’t want me to be upset and besides… i will be living my life this way for a while to come so I might as well get used to it now.
I have started driving around and getting used to the town. I found the post office today so that is always a plus. I still haven’t gotten my name changed yet and there is a lot that has to go along with that which I don’t want to get into right now.
I am settling into the housewife thing…. cooking, cleaning, laundry… all the good stuff. Its almost fun in a way. I like being able to clean and see how nice the place looks after I am done. I washed the bathroom today and I couldn’t believe how much cleaner it was after some Magic Eraser power lol. I love those things.
Tomorrow I am meeting some of the SG girls. I am really excited… it will be nice to have some girlfriends to talk to that don’t live 8 hours away. I don’t really know anyone here so it will be nice to have friends. I’m not starved for the friendship though, I just think that knowing some more people would be nice. Chris is a bit weary about it, but with good reason, so I am going to take the friend thing slow. I’m sure that once I find a job and then get back into school I will have a lot more friends so I don’t mind going slow for now. Being an Army wife is kinda like being in a sorority… it a lot of gossip and popularity and I don’t want to get sucked in. I am just proud to be an Army wife, I am so proud of my husband, my soldier, my hero and I don’t need to show off or throw that around in peoples faces.
I have thought about joining the FRG but I don’t know about that now listening to some of the people talk around here so I am going to give the SG girls and the Young Army Wives meetup a try before I look for friends elsewhere.
Hmmm…. other updates….. Chris and I are kinda trying to get pregnant…. so send us some baby dust. We aren’t trying hardcore, just seeing what happens naturally, but in the back of my mind I have this fear that I can’t get pregnant so hopefully we get pregnant some time this year, we are in no real rush.
Ummm….. Ally and Eric will be here in about 2 weeks… just missing Chris since he will be at that class…. SG meetup at Coldstone tomorrow…. yeah… thats all I got.
… don’t be afraid, sometimes they come true! … music is my life
RYN: Yeah I am going to use it as much as I can while I have the insurance.I just have to pay $99 for the contact fitting and 90 day supply. After that I will go to walmart to get more since they are cheaper my dad said. Have a fun meet up! I did the meet up thing a few times and they turned out nice minus all the talk about thier kids.

I cannot say I know exactly how you feel but I can relate , my older brother joined army when I was 13 years old and was deployed overseas before operation desert storm – I was worried the whole time he was there untill he came home safe – thankyou for note you left me , I went through alot of stuff growing up and I sometimes have a hard time dealing with things that happen .

Baby dust…baby dust…baby dust! 🙂 I’ve seen good FRGs and I’ve seen bad FRGs. I really recommend you give it a try. They can be gosip mills so be careful what you believe and take everything with a grain of salt but they’re also a great source of information when the men folk are gone!

I’m so glad you’re having a good time of it! Army wives can be the best people in the world, or the biggest pains in the butt! As for the deployment, of course he “doesn’t mind”. It’s his job. It’s what he’s here to do. He probably doesn’t like it, but if he made too big of a deal about it, it’d just be harder for him to go. When he’s gone you’ll know how much he wishes he were home!

There is also an open circle on Fort Bragg/Fort Pope. I could go through the circle here on Hood to see if that’ll help you. It’s usually a great place to meet other Pagans. Granted, they can be as much drama as the FRG! And as for the FRG, you may as well go. What’s the worst that can happen? You don’t like it and don’t go back.
