I miss my soldier

[lorabug2004]

Well, I am new to this site. First let me tell you about my situation.
I am engaged to a wonderful man. He is in the army. We have known each other for a while now and it has been so amazing growing with him. I love him so much!
Well, he has been in Iraq now for 6 months and he ***e home for his 2 week leave 2 weeks ago (he left the other day). Well, he is from oregon and I am from Louisiana... He flew me to oregon to meet his family (I had been talking to the nearly ever day for 6 months) they are so amazing!
I am so excited about marrying him! I get butterflies when I think about it but I am nervous too. Its hard having him be so far away. I know we are going to make it but its just kinda sad ya know?
Anyhoo! So if there are any other military "wives" out there talk to me!!!

Hi there - I'm glad you ***e to the boards! Please let us know if there's anything we need help with (that's within our realm - I would LOVE to go round up all those terrorists so your man and the rest of our men and women could come home, but I don't think that's possible :( ) Anyway - I totally understand about you missing him - I was a military brat and then a military wife. I also worked as a contractor for the military - so I know the lifestyle. Wives, husbands and families sacrifice a lot when their loved one goes on deployment. Just keep your faith in him, in your god and in your love and it will bring him home soon. I'm very glad to hear that he got 2 weeks to come home - that's wonderful! It does hurt when they go away again though. Have you set a date yet? Will you be getting married in Oregon or in Louisiana?
Hang in there, hon. We're all praying for you both - and the rest of the troops and their families!

I have tons of family members and friends that have been in the different armed forces. Right now I have a cousin over in Iraq, a good friend in Japan, and several others that I cannot think of where they are located. It is very hard knowing they are over there and not able to communicate to us how they are doing. I totally understand where you are coming from and know you can make it through this until he comes home. Defanitely keep your faith in him, God, and your relationship. Make sure if he can call you let him know you love him and miss him.

You know I wish we could bring home all of our men and women over there for good. I will be so glad the day we pull out of Iraq however I know they will probably be there for awhile longer. As I always say ... God Bless our troops, keep them safe, and bring them home soon.

lorabug...congrats on your engagement! It takes a special person to be a military wife. We'll keep you and your FH in our thoughts. I have several friends and family in the military and wish everyday that they will come home, too!

In a way I know how hard it is. I grew up an Army brat. It was hard on my mother and I; never knowing when my dad would be back, would he miss this special occasion, where is he. It takes someone special to be an army wife. As the time goes by, it doesn't get easier, but it will get more familiar which will take the stress off. Until then keep your mind occupied with things other than him in Iraq, start planning your wedding, and just try to get by. And my advice to everyone with someone over seas, do NOT watch the news. You will make yourself insane.

Hi there...I recently was engaged too! My finace is in the Army serving in the Middle East. He just went back after leave two weeks ago. I totally know how you feel...it broke my heart to bring him to the airport...as for setting a date, it's hard because he could be home in December of this year, or May 2006. So everything is up in the air about that. But we have been discussing other things, such as ceremony type, flowers, etc. I think this helps both of us, as I tend to get a little weepy when we talk on the phone, or even instant messaging each other. But now, we have something to occupy our minds instead of feeling that intense grief at being seperated. Much luck to you girl...be brave and strong...they'll be home soon!

We recently got married in the courthouse just in case he was to be deployed at anytime. We [hopefully] are having our ceremony October 8, 2005. It is very stressful being married to a soldier. You just never know what will happen but all we can do is pray. I'll be praying for you and all the other military spouses out there. also, congrats on your engagement! :)

Congradulation on yur Engagement!! My FH is also in military and is deployed right now he left in March it has been very hard i deffently know how you feel. I mostly try to keep myself busy and plan our wedding for when he gets home. It takes a special person to be a Military Wife. Again Congrats!!

Congratulations on your engagement. I'm sorry your FH is away, my FH is also in the military, he's in the air force, I'm a bit luckier though in that he finished all his active military duty in Iraq and now he's just in the reserves, so I won't by a military wife but I do know what you're going through. It really is hard when they're away, just try to keep busy and try not to think about it and just put it in God's hands and trust things will be ok. Good luck sweetie and happy wedding planning. :)
