Emotions are powerful. Sometimes they overcome me at the most random time. Like right now I feel a wave of tears that I can't quite find a reason for. I guess we all have these moments sometimes, moments where our emotions get a hold of us and won't let go. I guess I do have some things to stress about, a new job, hubby deploying, and being away from my family and friends. I try not to think of things like that because, honestly, as a military spouse it comes with the package, but right now, it's an intense feeling. I am dreading this upcoming deployment. It's the first one I will experience as a wife. I have been through one before but I was home with my family and friends and were were only dating at the time. I now have a job and own a house here, where we are posted, and I just don't feel it necessary to leave. It's only 9 months, right? Well, anyway, that is my random thought at the moment. I know if you are a military spouse, facing deployment, you understand my emotional state right now. Things will be fine and I will survive but that doesn't change the stigma. Well goodnight all/.
