Day 29 - Offically 1 month down!

Wow, I cannot believe it's been a month already!! I have not kissed, hugged, held or talked face to face with my husband in a month!! But, I'm glad that the time is passing. I feel very optimistic about the fact that I've made it this far and I am no longer counting in "days" but in "months!" :D So lets see what I did today! I cleaned out my laundry room, and now it is so clear and so full of space! Got all sorts of laundry done (Haven't done laundry in weeks)! And then I watched some TV and did a p90x exercise! Ok, so p90x is NOT easy! But hopefully it will give me the results I'm looking for!! From now on, I'm gonna wake up, do my p90x workout, eat breakfast, do what I gotta do for the day, then at night, bike for 2 hours on my exercise bike. I'd also like to throw in a walk on the beach every day that is nice! I am absolutely loving this warm weather! Here it is 1am and my sliding glass door is wide open, letting in the gorgeous air! It smells so damn because of the storm we just had, but soo warm and fresh :D But now, I am exhausted. I love ending my days exhausted. It helps the days all pass so much faster. So, I will say goodnight to ya'll and let you know, you can do anything you set your mind to! Just do it! Gotta find the mindset and not give that up. I know ya'll can do it. If you're loving someone in the military, you're OBVIOUSLY motivated :D

Motivation from my hubby :)

So my honey left me a facebook comment for me to read today, now that he's back out of contact. It gave me such hope and such happiness that I feel like, I can really kick this deployment's butt!! Some of the small things he says in it were quotes we used with each other back when we were best friends, when we first began dating, throughout our engagement... but haven't been able to say to each other in a while, or at least since we were married, because of the fact that since late December (we were married at the end of November), he's been out to sea the majority of the time. Hearing all of his positivity and hearing the way he feels about me really just gave me all sorts of motivation. Not to mention, it made me really realize how lucky I am to have the man I do! I've decided to include the comment below so that you wives who are reading, and feeling discouraged, know that your husbands are missing you and that you really are their rock. I know my husband loves me, but, sometimes things are so stressful that he doesn't think to really, really go in to detail reminding me. Sometimes I just get a "I love you," or just an "I miss you." Sometimes those words feel small and insignificant, although they truly aren't. When he finally took the time to write me something explaining how he was feeling, I realized that everytime he told me he loved me and missed me, he meant it in a much bigger way than I could comprehend. Remember that ladies. They're busy, they're stressed, they're going through all sorts of things that we couldn't understand - lack of everyday freedoms, exhausted, etc. But they do love us. So never let yourself fear differently! Never give up on your man! He loves you and that won't change, no matter how worried we are... It won't. Ladies, I'm asking you to get up and do something amazing today! Just get outta the house, go on a walk and see some new things, do something! Just accomplish something! Do it for your man :)

"I love you so much honey. I'm gonna miss you so bad. But know that I love you. And that that will never change. I'm yours forever. Whether I'm a thousand miles away. A million miles away. Or right next to you. No matter what the argument. Know that I will always stay true to you and that we can recover from anything. No matter what. You're my baby girl. You're my bright ray of sunlight. And you're that light at the end of the deployment tunnel. Don't be scared. Of anything. I'm always here. I love you. Stay strong and keep charging. And if you feel yourself sinking in the river of life, know that I'll be right underneath you. Holding my breath and keeping your head above the water. I'll talk to you in a bit. Bye my love."

This right here, is my hero :) Never did I ever imagine I'd be lucky enough to marry a man like my husband. Even when he isn't here, I am reminded daily of the ways he loves me simply by just being in our home. He sacrifices so much for us to live the way we do. Not only does he serve our country, he serves his family. He takes care of me and loves me, and makes sure that I know that. He never gives up on me. I couldn't have imagined a better life with a better person.

Keep my husband and his crew in your prayers - USS Newport News <3
