Morning, afternoon, or evening depending on where you are. I am super excited to be following the MilSpouse Blog Hop hosted by Riding The Roller Coaster!
I am Lynn and proud to be a military spouse of 10 years to my wonderful husband, Daddy. We have 4 amazing (yet chaotic!) kiddos. Feel free to check out the about me over on the right hand side to get an idea! "M" is 9 and going on 30, "V" is 8 and my little mother hen, "A" is 3 and my little comedian and "S" will be 2 next week and always keeps me on my toes. We have been super lucky to have been stationed in the same spot for our entire career. Well some wouldn't say lucky because this has come with 4 deployments, turns to Korea, and several courses that have kept our entire family apart but we have made some wonderful new friends over those years. We wouldn't trade it for the world!
I love taking pictures with my new camera and cannot wait to learn more about it! I also make hairbows for little girls and am trying to get the courage up to open my own etsy site one day soon. Oh and I am sort of obsessed with the exclamation point! I do try and keep its use to a minimum though.
I hope you have a wonderful day and come back soon! :)
As the spouse of a Soldier we all go through hundreds of different feelings daily. These feelings are amplified when they are deployed. One of my fellow bloggers Julie posted Toby Keith's video American Soldier on her blog today. Head on over and watch the video. I promise you wont be dry eyed after it either.
Back to the feelings. Like I said there are hundreds of different feelings you may feel and I promise you that they are all normal! Here is a short list of things I have heard of and felt some of them first hand. (in no particular order)
Sadness..nothing like that first day they leave to shoot this one at you.
Anger...why do they have to leave all the time?
Worry..is my loved one safe?
Fear..will there be a knock on my door anytime soon?
Happiness...hearing their voice on the phone brings it all back
Excitement...opening your mail box and seeing a letter (email works too!)
Being through so many deployments has kind of made me cold to these feelings though I do get the excitement and happiness one. I am a very independent person and know that what Daddy does is for a great cause and he loves his job. Do I hate him being gone? Yep but again I know why and accepted this when I said I DO. *Disclaimer*Now that statement was in no means a blast at anyone who feels all these feelings just stating that its the way I handle it.
Watching the video Julie posted really hit home today mainly I think because my Father In Law just taught "S" how to salute and seeing the son in the video salute as his father leaving just got me. I cannot wait for Daddy to be able to this in person or until I can catch it on video!
What are some feelings you encounter daily??
