I gave him the suggestion of skype. He hasnt been receptive to that before, but I am hopeful he will this time.<br />Girlie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06647337520751809470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4790775627230521914.post-83292091636943538872012-08-17T11:21:19.220-07:002012-08-17T11:21:19.220-07:00I can relate a lot to this post.

I was going crazy with anticipation. The first e-mail from him letting me know he was ok was the best feeling ever. I can also relate about having people in my life question how and why I am with someone in the military. In a sense I think the distance makes us stronger. It makes us more eager to communicate, and when I get to see his face on Skype I light up with happiness. He is doing something he loves and who am I to question that? I fell in love with him for who he is and being a marine is a big part of who he is. While he is away and try to keep busy with friends and family. Going to various attractions, meeting friends for drinks, blogging, and I even keep a journal for my marine that I write in every single day about everything that happened and every important thought that crossed my mind so he can read them when he gets home. Exercising and cooking new recipes is also a way that I deal with his absence. I hope your man contacts you soon!Miranda Pridgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545390793998752060noreply@blogger.com
