My name is Karlene. I am 24 years old, and I live in Tennessee. I have been with my wonderful husband for a little over 5 years, and we got married in August 2008. He enlisted in the Navy April 2008 and left shortly after we got married for basic training. He has been gone ever since. He went from basic training to ATT school where he was on hold for 4 months. He then was sent to A school for 6 months. Then, upon graduating A school, he picked his orders. Little did we know at the time, but the squdron that he got assigned to was currently stationed in Maine, getting ready to deploy and then transfer to Florida. So yet again, I had to say goodbye. He is now on deployment for 6 months. Hopefully, in June or July, we will be done saying goodbye for a while. I have been kind of down in the dumps during the past year or so without him here, so I figured maybe blogging would be a great release for some of my frustrations. I am currently semi unemployed. I pick a young man up from school Monday-Friday. I have great friends and family that try very hard to keep me busy and keep my mind off of everything. That is all for now. Hope to see you soon!
Hopefully you will be with him in June. Blogging has always helped me express myself and relieve any stress I may have at that moment.
ReplyDeleteWhen my husband gets deployed I am planning to take a Kick Boxing class to keep me busy, get in shape and learn some self defense. It's also a great way to relieve stress.
What part of Tennessee are you from?
Memphis

ReplyDeleteKeep your head up. I've been married for 6 years and he has been in the Navy for 11. Its hard work and comes with a lot of tears, but you make it through somehow.
