Here We Go Again....

Well we knew it was coming I just didnt know it would happen again so soon. Soon I will be kissing my husband goodbye again for another 6-9 months. Oh the joys of being a Navy wife or even a military wife in general. We got word Saturday morning that he would be leaving again very soon. Yesterday consisted of dragging out uniforms, boots, summer clothes, locks, boxes,medals, ribbon racks, and dashing to the uniform store to get shirts socks and boot stays. Today will be filled with going over the checklist. shopping for items we dont have and getting laundry done. Tomorrow will be the day he will take his foot locker in to be put in the plane. And the rest of the week will be filled with cuddles kisses and spending as much time as a complete family as we can before I drop him off at the airport. 
Im proud to be a military wife I hate the weeks and days leading up the the ultimate see ya later but after hes gone its back to my routine and getting by til I recieve that first email that says "Hey baby we made it I miss you love you and will write again soon" Then I can breathe and start emailing him and telling him about our days and how its not the same without him here. 
This is our 6th deployment in 6yrs not to mention MANY workups, dets and schooling he has attended. Our 6yrs of marriage has been spent mostly apart. But we have a strong marriage and it only gets stronger with each separation. We trust one another and have an undying love for one another. We know that we will see each other again and this is just "See ya later" Never "Goodbye"
So today I will fold his clothes and get everything ready to pack tonight. Hold back the tears the best I can. And be strong. Many people say "I dont know how you do it" Its not something I like to do by any means. Its something I HAVE to do. I support my husband and his reasons for joining the service. And while he is gone defending our country I defend our home our child and our marriage for him in his absence. I have to be strong for him. I have to show him that I am stronger then this deployment. I mean shit this is our 6th deployment...Im a pro (=
