Deployment Project for the Hubs

With the husband leaving for deployment soon I wanted to do something different.  Since he is on a submarine, communication is very limited.  Even though I email him 3-4x a day, I wanted to give him something more to read.  So I created this book for him.  

I thought the cover was just perfect for what he is about to go through.  I found this book on Amazon for about $17.

I made sure to include pictures.

Bible verses.  This is my favorite, of course. 

Song lyris and unlined the lyrics that were especially significant. 

Quotes

Love poems

I also wrote little letters for him in the book.  I really hope this helps him on deployment.  

What do you think?

Happy 2 Years!

It has been two years since my husband and I said "I do" to one another for the second time.  I wish he was here to celebrate this special day with me.  Unfortunately the Navy will take him away from our anniversaries this year.  Anyways, I cannot believe how quickly these past two years has gone by.  It felt like we just got married yesterday.  It is an amazing feeling when your partner is not only your spouse, but also your best friend. I love him so.  <3

"Spend My Life With You" By Eric Benet and Tamia

Absolutely love this song.  It was our first dance at our wedding and now "our" song <3

I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one

And I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

I never knew till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love so real

Can I just see you every morning when
I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I

And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart my life
My soul you've changed

Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And a deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever to you)
(only for you)
To you
Can I just see you every morning when

I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you
Can you run to these open arms

When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
You're my woman, and you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just spend my life with you
(Forever here with you)
Can I just spend my life with you
Can I just see you every morning when I
Open my eyes

Sh*t Asian Girls Say

I think I've seen this like a million times already.  I can't stop.  It is just so funny.  I showed it to the hubby last night and he just kept shaking his head because it's so me.  LMAO.  Enjoy!

It's that time again..

This month went by way too quick.  I loved that hubby got to be home for a while, but it couldn't last forever.  The military is calling his name again.  He will only be gone for a few weeks but they always feel like a lifetime.  I don't know how I'll be able to manage his deployment soon after this underway.  He was even told that his boat has one of the most craziest schedules they've ever seen.  Hah.  Why am I not surprised..

Any of you a wife of a submariner?  I think being married to a submariner is much harder.  It isn't the same as a carrier or surface ship.  Theses men don't have as much freedom and communication is VERY minimal.  Just ask the other submarine wives.  Given my husband and I email each other daily, but it is up to a certain department when they want to send it out, which makes it very frustrating.  I have been on his boat and the space is small and limited.  I just can't imagine having him live there for even more than a week.

I'm trying to be strong that the has to go out to sea again and serve his country, but it is so tough.  I've gotten so spoiled having him home almost every single day.  Our daughter adores him.  Every day when he walks through the door from work, her face lights up like a Christmas tree and would keep saying "dada."  It really makes my heart melt.  I hope having him gone doesn't affect her too much.  We've recorded videos of them two together so I will play those for her every night.  It's just sad to see them apart.

Bleh, I just had to vent.  This is my life.  I cannot wait for him to get out.  Military life isn't all its cut out to be.  You get financial stability but you can never get back those days/months/years he missed out with his family...

Love..

I am sure like many, this is probably your favorite bible verse also.  Whenever I am down and missing my husband, I just look at this "message in a bottle" that he sent to me on our first Valentine's Day in 2009.  It always cheers me up.  I love him very much. 

“Love is patient, love is kind.  

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, 

it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.” 

– 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Baby Fever?!

I have no idea what is up with me, but lately I have been thinking a lot about babies.  The other night I had a dream that I gave birth to a baby girl.  After she was born I kept freaking out that I didn't buy my breast pump yet and woke up.  LOL.  It was very weird...  Maybe I'm just over thinking the baby stuff.  I'm pretty sure (I think) that I am not pregnant.  I guess it's just because a lot of my girl friend's are already having their second child.  And girl's who were pregnant around the same time with me are already trying again.  We don't plan to have another baby until we move to NH and are settled down.

Our move isn't too far away so I need to start saving up.  Babe told me I could buy my Chanel flap if I save enough money while he's gone.  However, I am starting to rethink it.  I want to wait but at the same time what if Chanel has a price increase?!  Well see what happens to the bag.  But as far as baby #2 goes, I will definitely start saving for him/her.  Hubby and I even got our baby names set.  <3  I especially love future baby girl's name.  I have my heart set on having a boy but if we have another girl I wouldn't mind.  Any child is a blessing.

I already have a game plan though.  The next time I get pregnant, I will have a better meal plan.  I won't drink/eat too much junk food.  Continue exercising at least 20-30 minutes a day.  Only buy items baby will need/use.
