July 1st

Like I said in a previous post, I wasnt too excited about July coming around, except of course in a sense that it would be another month down. I'm missing a lot of things with Joe this month. Our anniversary (the 1st one we will be separated for), his birthday, 4th of July ~ one of his FAVORITE holidays (what can I say, he's a pyro).

But I'm super excited about a few more. Pretty sure they can outweigh the other things.

My parents will be here in less than 2 weeks. And I can officially say that I will SEE Joe "next month" (that would be August)!!! Again, we dont have any dates, but R&R is quickly coming up!!

So for these two reasons, I'm going to be EXCITED that today is July 1st.

And the 4th is Huzzy's favorite holiday too (he's a pyro as well). This will be the second one in a row that we are apart for and we won't be together for next year's either. ((hugs)) to you.

I hope you join us for MilSpouse Friday Fill-In tomorrow... the questions are on my blog right now.; July 1, 2010 at 11:36 AM

A little bit more about my Army wife experience...

From many of the other Army wives I've met, I'd like to say that I'm not your typical Army wife. I see a world outside of my husband's career, and some wives I know just dont agree. I might have different views, but isn't that was makes the world go round? I'm very lucky that my husband knows my education and career are very important to me. I will follow him to the ends of the Earth, but who's to say I cant rule the world while I'm at it? So I might say some stuff that isnt normal for an "Army wife" to say, but its not to offend or anger, it's just my view from right here and right now.

The label "Army wife" has a few very specific connotations to it. Hasty generalizations can be made. We all do it, I'm guilty too. But I'd like to say on the record, they're all so completely wrong. I hope to show that with this blog. The label it's self bothers me. Are we all cookie cutter images of each other? Of course not. We're all individuals. So yes, I am an Army wife, but only because the man I love is an Army soldier. It doesnt define me or make me who I am.

I'm very proud of my husband and everything he stands for. But the Army isnt what I thought it would be. And I hope to explain that statement with this blog.
