It's been a while since my first post, but in case you are wondering, insecurity has not reared its ugly head since then (Yay!). What has actually reared its ugly head is our first deployment together (Wah, Wah). A lot of things have happened since he left that has made life very difficult (financial surprises - the bad kind and pesky neighbors). Nevertheless, it has helped us grow as a couple even if from afar. I do miss my husband, but I am an independent woman at heart and so it is not terribly hard. I've been keeping myself busy: Taking care of my dogs, hanging out with great friends, concerts (this weekend will be Lamb of God, Korn, Rob Zombie and more...), painting, watching lots of movies, reading lots of books, learning how to drive my motorcycle, etc., etc. I've also been lucky enough to have constant contact with my husband, but as I said earlier, the key is to continue to be strong and independent.
I've also had the chance to do a bit of introspection. To be honest, I thought that this was going to be harder (deployment), but in a way I am not so surprised. See, I think my husband and I choose well. I think being a military wife amongst many things bodes well for me, and my husband was a SEAL before he knew what that was, so all in all, lucky us.
