I have spent my full first day of a deployment.
It doesn't feel that much different yet, except for the fact of course that I haven't seen him in a day.
I'm sure it will take some time for it to really sink in.
I'm hoping I can keep this level of positivity up!
It's unreal how positive things have been between us since he has left.
WE CAN DO THIS.
I haven't been very "present" via phone calls, texting, twitter, instagraming, facebook etc.
I don't want anyone to think it's because I am having a hard time with it, I'm actually doing quite well.
Sometimes, it helps to keep your little bubble up, and not be influenced by other people's questions and emotions. It's just how I manage things.
SO, I promise to return! But for today, a couple great pins I found that are perfect for how I am feeling today. A little sad, but also very optimistic.

Welcome to the deployment club honey pie!! And you deal however works best for you! I'm much the same as you and like to take a day or two for myself before I venture out to the world!
Love love love you! I've been a little MIA lately too (oops) but I've been thinking about you and your boo! Definitely no reason to be sorry for taking time for yourself. Right now, your happiness is the #1 priority. LOVE the positivity. Keep your head up, you're doing great :)
xo,

We never know what life is going to through our way till its to late. Handling it is different for everyone and no one can truly understand how YOU feel, and they never will. Make the most of what yall are going through you WILL grow closer together as time goes on due to this deployment. Sounds crazy but it will happen. I truly believe in taking all the YOU time in the world, sometimes Its the best medicine.
I wasn't at all as strong as you in the beginning of either deployment of ours, but i made it through a much better person and you will to.
I love the quotes and sayings from pinterest, tells a perfect story.
I'm quite proud of you...this is a great post! :) You'll be able to look back on these moments and be proud of both yourself and your hubby!
Keep your chin up. :)
Proud of you and your optimism! Keep your head up!
You're a lot stronger then I was my first deployment!! I was crying for two days straight after my man left. Keep up the optimism, that's awesome!
I didn't know he was going yet! I was so wrapped up in spending time with Will that I haven't kept up on when your hubs was leaving! I'm VERY happy to hear that you are doing ok so far...If you need anyone to talk to- I'll send you my number ;) I'll be thinking of you darling!!
I am glad you are doing so well. Keep up those positive thoughts, because you want to be happy when you do get to see/ talk to him. Go have fun, time flies when you're having fun! =)
Will be thinking about you!
My hubs has been gone ~ 1 month. I'm still doing good. I think it's because of the great technology these days. I get to hear (& usually see via Skype) from him almost daily, which is awesome.
This is our 1st deployment, too. One full year, boo.
Keep yourself busy & if you need to vent to a stranger, I'm here =)
Stay strong! You seem to have a great attitude. We are nearly into month 3 and I've settled into a little routine, keeping myself busy and as happy as can be. Drop a note if you ever need to chat!
Very inspiring Moo!! This to shall pass, always loved that quote and the photo looks awesome to me! Thinking of you! :)
You are going to ROCK this deployment!! I retreat a bit into my own little bubble for the first few days, too. Do whatever you feel is best for you. If you ever need to chat or vent, I'm here :)
