I just wanted to say hello! I see you post around and I feel like we are very similar lol. So just wanted to see how you were doing! I hope your week is going good! My name is Amber btw .

Thank you!

I hope you enjoy your special day with DH once he has leave!! You definitely deserve it!

I'm glad I could help even just a little! Keeping busy is the absolute best thing...esepecially on days where you dont want to leave your house, thats the best day to go for a run or meet up with friends!

Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words. You're absolutely right! I have learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of. I feel so much stronger now than I did in the beginning. And you're right about the countdown too. It's hard right now because two other girls whose DB's are in my DB's unit are nearing their leave dates, whereas my DB won't be coming home on leave for quite a few months. But I'll definitely take your advice on making plans! Thanks and let me know if you ever need someone to talk to!

Hey There!
I'm new to MSOS and I'm hoping to get advice on going through a deployment. My DB and I had been dating for 6 months before he deployed. He's been gone since February but he deployed to Afghanistan in April so the whole deployment (e.g. time difference, communication) thing is still very new to me. Any words of wisdom you could offer me as someone who is nearing the end of a deployment? I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks and Good Luck to you!
