It was the best, and then to go home to all my TV shows. You have to make the best of it!

I've always been in long term relationships (5 years with my high school boyfriend, 2 with my college boyfriend and now 3 so far with my husband) so I've never had that time to myself before. I was able to focus on my mental and physical health and was even able to finish my bachelors degree. I really enjoyed that aspect of it.<br /><br />xo, Keating | Mimosas and Manicures<br />www.mimosasandmanicures.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07425355780701986884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-8097956700581983822016-09-07T16:07:24.575-05:002016-09-07T16:07:24.575-05:00I love this.

(Not that that's a bad thing!) But now that we're married, I still have this same mentality, like I have to focus only on him when he's home. We're not facing a deployment yet, but an unusually high number of CQ shifts in these past few weeks and in the upcoming weeks. I've been trying to do ALL THE THINGS on the days/nights he's at work for 24 hours-- like work on my scrapbook and other stuff that I hate to do when he's home. Anyway, kinda a long story but same mentality! So glad you're looking on the bright side of deployment.

Ryan is deploying this winter, and while I hate deployments, we find that it actually makes us become closer to one another, simply because you can't take anything for granted! <3Melissa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09297126633481230633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-39597576509822310202016-09-06T07:56:06.536-05:002016-09-06T07:56:06.536-05:00As always- you inspire me!
