DEPLOYMENT DAY OOHRAH #2

DEPLOYMENT DAY OOHRAH

19,May 2010 was deployment day! Over the years months and experiences I've had I've learned that deployment day is supposed to be a sad depressing day. But for me it wasn't I mean I had my moment but, we laughed and danced talked about what we will do when he gets home and how fast this deployment will be. Okay well Ill start from the beginning so Tuesday night his Sgt. called and said "Marine you need to get here and pack your stuff and clean the barrack". He turned to me and I said let's go I will help you. So we drove to Base (hour and a half drive one way} we finally got there. Ran up to the room and started packing but he had so much stuff we had to redo the bag 3 times and packed another two back packs for him to take. we drove home and OUR ROOM IS A MESS MY GOODNESS YOU CAN'T WALK ANY WHERE WITHOUT TRIPPING ERRR. Anyways Wednesday came deployment day we started driving to base yet again we got there. Mom and grandma came with us which was great support for both of us. We took them to the barracks so they can see how he lived. It came to be 0300 so we loaded back in to the car along with his buddy Linero and took em' down to the buses were they were all loading up there stuff! After they loaded everything we followed the 5 buses down to San Diego naval base to send them off, come to find out The big effin navy ship that holds over 1000 marines and seamen broke down so now they can be leaving anywhere from today till Sat.. Great I said I just want this damn deployment to start so it will end. But I guess it's patience we need to endure for these next few days. I cant wait for this ship the Peleliu to start crusin for 7 months then cruise right back to me! 210 days till we will be married and living together man I cant wait. I got this rush of excitement every time I think about him. I miss him so much and cant wait to jump on him and kiss him oh I can feel it now, its right in front of me ahhh I want to reach for it and grab it but I cant just yet! 7 months (28 weeks) that's it and hes home its so close already ugh I cant wait I have chills running down me. Damn do I miss those big blue eyes and your strong country accent your wonderful smile and big bear hug!
ladies!! Leaving loved one's is apart of military life it teaches us women to do things on our own. For instance fix the sink,take care of the house and kids, explain to a million people over again where your husband is without getting tears in your eyes,taking the car in to get fixed with out getting taken advantage of,hanging on the memory of his sweet smile,learn to love him MORE, and it will teach your strengths and weaknesses as days go but you will learn how to deal with them! My fiance deployed yesterday and yes I am sad BUT, I am so ready for it I am confident strong and so happy for this deployment to start so it will end! I bet your thinking I am crazy for saying I am so ready for this deployment to start because after this 7 month deployment I get to marry the love of my life! I play songs that remind me of us, I think of all the good times, I think about his goofy little smile and his cute ass!, I sleep with his Cammi jacket on my pillow even though it smells like sweat I don't care because its his scent that is my man that is the closest thing to my man I have while he is gone! Fill your day with a task and when its time to go to bed put on a comedy your favorite movie or just think of him and what you all will do when he get's back think how wonderful it will be think how amazing it will be to have him home again! There will be moments when you break down but promise you YOU WILL BE OKAY! I am here for you I love you like a sister and I know we don't know each other us marine spouse women have a bond like no ones business! I want you to smile and be happy and spend the last days you have with him cherish them take more pictures than you need and if you have to tell him you love him every other minute! But you have to trust that you will be okay you have to trust your self you have to believe in your self and in your husband! Have faith in everything you and him do!!! If your having a bad day turn the music up loud sing at the top of your lungs and cry if you want to if you have to scream then scream and if you have to break out and just laugh historically then do so! NEVER BE AFRAID OF YOURSELF PEOPLE OR MAKING SOME ONE MAD because if anyone has the right to be mad or upset its us! But I want you too realize your an incredible beautiful unbelievable strong women you will come to find out my love!
I LOVE YOU GARY RAY I MISS YOU AND I AM FOREVER PROUD FOREVER FAITHFUL TO YOU I LOVE YOU BABY MISS YOU!
