It was a double edged sword though...for most of the deployment I was pregnant but had no kids yet (on the "outside") and I worked from home so I could stay up late. I remember thinking how something could have happened and I wouldn't know until morning.CandaceAprilhttp://naturallyeducational.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404545889138996567.post-51944523076842339812011-03-29T16:38:45.429-04:002011-03-29T16:38:45.429-04:00Hi, I found your blog on this blog hop!

I haven't missed a single episode of either. I remember getting my battle buddy hooked during our husband's deployments and I would literally spend days at her house watching Greys or Army Wives on DVD from the Redstone Library. <br /><br />As for preparations even though it was my first deployment I was pretty much fully prepared for ALMOST anything that might pop up (except totaling my car) I mean we sat down and he explained how the general order of things was going to go to the best of his ability, He did the POA's some here some at Ft Riley (cause he thought a General was enough), He made a schedule full of activities to keep Skylar and I busy. I knew what he wanted if something happened to him Cremation or if killed in Combat to be in the National Cemetery near my moms farm. I am realizing its rare or maybe its just the new baby soldiers that have a hard time with making sure all the right paper work is in place before they leave for an extended period of time. As for something happening to me? No I totally panic at the thought! Even when I was in the hospital having William I was scared of Rick and James taking care of Skylar for three days. Thankfully Skylar spent 90% of the time at the hospital only leaving to go to bed. I would hope my friends and neighbors would help some. Maybe my church can show me just how big a big church can be.<br /><br />We have been on two Military Marriage Retreats. We went to the one in Panama City Beach Florida in July of 2007 moments before he went to training and the one in Town Creek AL right before he retired. I will miss them! The last time I was home with my husband was driving to a Marriage Therapy appointment last week. If that doesn't count it was on our Anniversary when he took me to the Melting Pot.Bella StormyArieshttp://www.facebook.com/ArmyKnightsLadynoreply@blogger.com
