Pre-deployment Post

I have read countless blog about husbands coming home from Afghanistan but Ive also seen alot of women say that their husband didnt come home. I am going to tell you the truth. Im not taking this 2nd deployment very good. He has not left yet but it's right around the corner, and I cant even begin to tell you how I feel. My emotions are just all over the place. About two years ago my husband came home from Iraq and to say that he was the same man I saw leave to Iraq would be a lie. My husband did change, and I learned how to grow with it. He was not as cuddly as he used to and we would get upset very very fast. But I put faith in us and he has made so much progress since then, it is unfortunate though that he is leaving again and we are going to have to go through this again. But I want to do this again, I know I can handle him, and  I know Im the only woman who is going to be able to get him though this. I know that I am going to have to have a talk with him about the 'what i...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Merry Christmas , I know I have not blogged in a couple of days so I will start on the day my husband came home . P.S I will try not not make this a long post but I promise there will be lots of pictures:) (Traffic) It was Wednesday night when Jaime was coming home, the airport he came in is 45 minutes away from the town I live in. So my dad and I left to pick up Mr.G and my dad and I didnt realize that the mall was very close to the airport. So there my dad are I were, a block away from the airport but the long line of cars would not move so we were getting very upset! So long story short we were late to pick up my husband because of all the craziness at the mall:( I felt horrbile. I asked him if he felt bad, he said no it's ok. So I felt a little bit better but next time I am going SUPER early next time....not that there will be one, this is his last time home till he comes back from Afghanistan:(  Always with my iPod  (We are ap...

The very generous Veteran

 So today I was checking the mail because I have been waiting for something that Mr. G needs. When I checked the Mail there was a letter addressed to me, I thought it was a letter from Jaime and then I saw it said, the address of the reserve center so I was like, oh ok they sent a chritsmas card how nice. To my surprise I opened it and there was a $50 bill, and  very sweet message. The message said: A small gift from a grateful American Veteran just to say "Thank you" for the sacrifice your family is making this Christmas season for the good of our country. May God bless your family and all other military families this joyous Christmas Season and throughout the coming years. Again, I thank your husband for serving our country and I pray for his safe return. From the Heart of an old Veteran. When I was done reading it I felt so much appreciation, I was very thankful and touched, I wish I could tell him thank you properly. On another note, The reserve center that Jaime mee...
