I just got married on 10/13/2007 now I am back in Texas alone without my love. Although I spent 5 days with him being without him after that sucks.
I hate the distance in moments like these....thats what really sucks!

I enlisted in the Navy before I got Married. On my wedding day a get the phone call that I was leaving for basic training that evening. I spent my wedding night processing at boot camp! So yeah I hear ya, it sucks. My husband is in the Air Force and is almost never around. He spends about 65% of the year on TDY's and short deployments. He missed all of my son's firsts...First steps, first words, first day of school and so on. I'm pregant again...about 4 months...and he hasn't even been to one appointment with me yet, I'm really worried he may not even be here when I give birth. That's the life of a soldiers wife. Hang in there.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
