nicole i know exactly how you will feel. Im dreading the 4th of July that will mark our 2 year anniversary, last anniversary was magical.... I got a surprise trip and everything... this year I get no bf. yay! I say that last part sarcasticly. It going to be tough for sure, but I know I will get through it with friends and family. If you want to talk more feel free to message me. This website can be a big support system for you!!! I hope you are not crying anymore, Im sure your man wouldnt want you crying so dont (that seems harsh to say) but they have to do what they have to do. The way I look at it is whether he would be gone these two months or the next two months he would always be missing something important. Be strong girl!

today was thee 4 month mark of my boyfriend and I. It was bittersweet. Still no letter so that sucked..got home tonight and pretty much was okay until I walked in my room and saw his hoodie laying on my bed and broke down crying. Listened to his last voicemails..and I miss him a ton.going through it with boot with my ex was easy. I didn't cry. Yes there were feelings there bit definitely not love or in love feelings. This time around is hard. Really hard.:/ im glad I can come here though and know im not in the least the only one.

Sara, It will be tough Im sure, and I haven't been through it so I can't say what it will be like or anything but what I can say is that your family will always be there and you can always go back and see them. It is a big change but Im sure you will start to like it pretty quickly. Its a big change so I completely understand why you are feeling like that about the whole thing.

oh man, I've been busy busy packing! this is the first second I've had a break because the baby is napping and my husband just left with the first load to go back up for work tomorrow. So nothing really left to do until Tuesday morning when he has leave... I've been really excited throughout this journey until right now when the reality of i'm really doing this?! has hit me. I'm leaving everything I know. I've lived in this area since I was 6 years old. I'm leaving my mom's house and her support for the first time. I'm about to go on a HUGE base, where I don't even know how to get to my house! I know no one. I'm unfamiliar with the area surrounding base. I guess military wives go through it everyday and adapt just fine but it really makes me question this lifestyle. I see myself having a bad attitude about it. I don't want to make any friends, I don't want to take my son to the swimming pool there, I don't want to shop at the commissary etc etc. It's going to be pretty tough on me.... it's a new chapter of my life and I don't know if I'm ready to turn the page...

I've been writing everyday as well. And I always spray a little perfume at the bottom by my signature. He always said he loved the way I smelled so I guess its a little bit of home:)

Nrose,

I write him everyday twice a day lol, i just cant send him the letters yet because we havent recieved his form letter. Being with him is the only thing that keeps me motivated to be the woman i want to be. I did start writing down my feelings everyday letting out all my sad energies in those, maybe one day i will let him read it but for now i have just filled my letters with love and support. Thank you for all your encouragement ladies :) it really helps a lot.

Lyndsi,

Its rough at first, but make sure you write to him as often as possible! I wrote every day and my sailor said it really helped him get through bootcamp. He misses you just as much if not more than you do. Once you start getting letters back the time will go by a lot faster. If you can make it to the graduation it is SOO amazing and He will love it. The normal amount of phone calls is about 3. The Im here call, the im still alive call, and the im a sailor call. If they are good they get more if they do well. There is a lot of crying, I suggest getting a journal and writting how you feel and what you are going through in it. It get a lot of emotion out and really helps. (: Good luck! Message me if you need anyone to talk to! (: you can do it!!

Lyndsi- I remember the first week that my husband was in bootcamp (almost a year ago now wow!) i think I cried the first 10 days he was gone. I NEVER cry and I'm really not just saying that. But I cried my eyes out every day for that first week and a half. I would write the horrible letters and they'd be too depressing to send out so I'd throw them away. I felt like the days were dragging on and no one understood how hard it was to be apart. Not even the distance but it's sooo emotionally taxing to know that someone that you love so much is going through some of the biggest changes in their life and some of the hardest things they'll ever deal with and you aren't there to support them or to big part of it... that just really was extremely difficult for me. Time (believe it or not) does speed up, things do start getting easier. Letters, for me, were absolutely magical. I still have every letter and I just cannot describe how wonderful those letters were. The phone calls were hard for me, it's hard to say goodbye. It's a hard time for both of you, stay busy, write him as much as you possibly can, and reach out for support from others when you need. 

 

 

I PICKED OUT MY HOUSE YESTERDAY! a 3 bedroom townhouse. The outside is cinderblocks painted yellow?.. yeah it looks like a prison. But the inside is pretty decent. It's 2 stories with a newly renovated kitchen, new hardwood floors downstairs, new carpet upstairs, 2 and 1/2 baths. I was REALLY hoping for a washer and dryer but they only have the hookups we have to buy our own, oh well. and we have a storage shed out back and our own backyard. it isn't fenced in but we are goign to fence it in.  I'm excited to move in because I want to decorate it and everything but that base is HUGE and I dont know anyone or anything and I've found NO groups of people there probably because it's an air force base. In time I'll make friends though I'm sure. My husband gets house hunter leave on Monday at 9am for 10 days, and that's when our big move begins!

Hi ladies,

Its been one week since my love left for boot-camp and i miss him so much it hurts. All i want to do is to hear his voice, he has always been the stronger one in the relationship and no matter what has stayed positive about everything. This is so hard and im trying to be strong for him and remember what he told me "whenever you start to feel sad just think about all the times im going to tickle you for feeling that way" lol that always puts a smile on my face :) I just look forward to hearing from him in a week or so hopefully, just to know he is thinking about me and loving me just as hard as i am him. Is the first week always the most difficult, and does this get easier once the letters start to come? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

thanks :)
