MilSpouse Friday Fill-in #10

Welcome to MilSpouse Friday Fill-in, hosted by Wife of a Sailor. We are asked 5 questions every week to answer for you to read. If you are not a MilSpouse enjoy my answers, you get to know more about me, if you are a MilSpouse head over and get the questions so we can get to know YOU!

Enjoy! 

*What secret indulgence do you act on while your spouse is away? (from Devil Dog Darling)

I take up the ENTIRE bed. He never believes me ;) 

*If you were a spice, what would you be? (from New Girl On Post)

Pepper... I can be hot and I can be mild. ;)

*Where do you go for support when your significant other is deployed? (from Texas Meets Washington)

My family.  I have done this for so long it is second nature. Being alone does get old and lonely but I know that no matter what I have our family to get me through 

*What is the oldest thing you own? (from A Troop’s Girl) 

I little red rocking chair that is about 80 years old, probably older. My Granny got it a long long time ago. It has been though 7 kids now and is still rockin

*How did you vision your future pre-military? (from Daddy’s Duty)

I am guessing this question means after the military.... Whatever it is I want more family dinners and no duty.  I have honestly not put any thought into it but I will politely demand a vacay to somewhere tropical and some amazing memories with my hubby ;) 

MilSpouse Friday Fill-in #9

MilSpouse Friday Fill-in is Hosted by Wife of Sailor Check there every Thursday for questions.



If you could be a fugitive from the law for whatever reason, what would your crime be? (from It’s a Hooah Life)
* Stealing my hubby from PAC


How long do you think you will be a military family? (from Julie the Army Wife)
*Well I am almost 29, all of my life I have been a military family. As of now, I do not want to do a day past August 31, 2013 but the next duty station might change me! 


What’s your favorite recipe? (from Keep Calm and Soldier On)
*My mom's beef stew. Mom has to make it. Something about it :) 


What would you want your last five words to be when you leave this life? (from My Goal is Simple) 
*I love you, Goodbye. I never say Goodbye. It seems like it is to serious. Being faced with deployments and moves my entire life I never wanted it that serious. I say "I'll see you later" 


Where do you hope to retire? (from Pennies from Heaven)
* Right now it is a toss up between Blaine, Minnesota and Plano, Texas. We have family  in both areas.  Hopefully where ever I rest my head my babies will get a little touch of the things I was raise with.  Those two areas seem to be a good mix

Quick post

This is just a quick post... I mean really quick. I got sick this week and it knocked me on my arse. I mean really it came from no where. It took me all Wednesday to recover! Fabulous. I mean really.
SD is over some where doing some really good stuff right now. This cruise (how funny is that!) they do not have a phone on board the ship... So communication is a major key into getting through this. (see Deployment, How I take on the challenge ) Last night I was up talking to a friend on Facebook until an unmentionable hour of the morning (notice NIGHT was not used), hubster popped online....
Being that I really value the abilities for instant communication with my husband we had an email chat for 2 hours, Yes two hours! We talked about the kids, taxes, Kipper, a friend for Kipper, rain, Kids, him, me, new toys they got, you name it. I even told him I didn't miss him ;) (ask silly questions you get silly answers). I got 3 hours of sleep last night all to keep my communication open with the hubby.
A lot of women complain that they do not get phone calls, that they do not get emails. I got much more of both last deployment. I realize that I was very spoiled and I will not get that every time. I take advantage of what I can get and realize that sometimes a happy couple is better then the sleep I could be getting.

Ladies and Gentlemen take advantage of ANY and ALL communication that you are able to have with your service member. It will make it roll by a lot faster as well as for a great deployment for all involved.

Also, just like you should never ever go to bed angry at your spouse, never hang up the phone mad either. I do not feel I need to go in depth on this one. I just strongly advise against it.
