Deployed? Underway? ETC

A friend of mine was teasing me about my babes coming home so soon from his deployment. He met his ship after they had been out for 6 months so he was only gone for a month and a couple of weeks. This is a long ass time to be away from someone you love but not long in military time. We are very lucky how this situation turned out...BUT I think something that people in the Marines/Army etc don't get is that Navy Sailors go on things called Underways. THEY SUCK.....Comparing a 1 yr deployment for an army soldier..someone in the Navy will be home for a week or so and gone for 2 to 3 weeks, come back a week and gone again for 2 to 3 weeks...There is never any consistency with this situation. I can plan NOTHING. People may not think thats as bad as them being gone a year but sometimes I'd rather that, I'd rather him be gone on a yr deployment then to be gone 3 weeks out of each month for a 2 yr sea duty term. Its stressful.

I am ready for some down time. I'd love to spend time with my husband. He would probably love to spend time with me also...I'm praying we will have an underway free december. :)

Family? Friends?

This morning I woke up thinking about my large extended family. All families have their issues..right? Well mine are far and long reaching. I have my own personal demons concerning my immediate family that I'll have to address at a later date...This is about some of my extended family...Its a person in my family that will throw you under the bus for whatever, will lie on you, befriend your enemies etc...

BUT THEN this person always plays the victim. I wonder if this person really understands the things that they do. If they understand that you don't have to be a shitty person to be popular? Frankly,its sad that this person has to go to these extents to make friends..

I feel bad for people who can't stand on their own. You don't need someone to be your friend who can't accept for who you are. Which is why my circle of friends is so small. I just do NOT have the mental fortitude to put up with the drama I endured in highschool or the first couple years of college. I just don't have it in me to be worried about what some insignificant person thinks of me. Life is too precious, too short, too fragile to be petty.

Life is filled with thousands of beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Filled with so many places to travel to see..So many different people to enjoy, meet, learn about. Life has countless memories, joys, and tragedies. Life isn't what other people have done to you its what you do for yourself and who you surround yourself around.

In the process of writing this I've found a lot of clarity on a subject thats been bothering me. I'm trying to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life...Lawyer? Entrepreneur? Chef? Author? Psychiatrist? I'm stuck in the midst of all those decisions but I see that I can do and be so much more than my brain understands.

Time for a change.

"Im the kind of girl you wanna take to your momma's house"

lol..I'm watching Mall Cop and thats always my favorite part of the movie...Things have been hectic around here..In Virginia we've been experiencing something called a Nor'Easter..I know what is that?? I got a good description for it:

Nor'easters can occur in the eastern United States any time between October and April, when moisture and cold air are plentiful. They are known for dumping heavy amounts of rain and snow, producing hurricane-force winds, and creating high surfs that cause severe beach erosion and coastal flooding. A Nor'easter is named for the winds that blow in from the northeast and drive the storm up the east coast along the Gulf Stream, a band of warm water that lies off the Atlantic coast.

Anyway its been hectic and flooding is everywhere. So I'm just getting my power back on and a chance to blog.

I am thinking about getting my business started up again. I love to plan events. I love the decoration and the anticipation leading up to the big day. Which is why I really love planning weddings. I've done a few so far and all of them have been really rewarding. I just don't know how to get everything started. I need to get back on my grind.

I miss my husband. We talked today but he sent me THE best email. It made my day. He always puts everything into perspective for me. I just can't wait to see him again and hug him. I'm planning our Christmas. He wants red, green and white this year and I have really came up with some contemporary edgy looking things.

In other news I've also been thinking about doing some writing. I used to do it a lot and so I've been thinking about what type of story I want to delve into. It doesn't matter if its just for my personal use. I just really want to get back into reading, writing and planning. Soooo tomorrow I'm going to make a concious effort to get some stuff done.. Thats all for tonight!

Midnight

Its midnight and I decided to start a blog. I've had a blog before and kept it for 2 years. When I went through and re read it I learned so much about myself. Its amazing the story you'll be able to tell yourself 3 years from now. I love the evolution of humans. Time changes everyone.

A bit about my life

-My absolute favorite movie is A Beautiful Mind, hence the name of my blog lol

My husband said I should start a blog while he was gone.

About my marriage..
I am beyond blessed for the man my husband is. I have been through alot with men in my past. I've dated someone who really made me jaded about love. Its like I was rewarded with this man who understands all of me and loves all of me. The bad, the good, he just doesn't care. I wish I could put in words how much he does for me but I can't. I just love him. There isn't and will never be a man so completely made for me. My marriage is strong....its not a fairy tale. It is so real and I love that. We get emotional sometimes, sick of each other, angry but the happiness we have outweighs all of that. Sometimes we just look at each other and start laughing for no real reason other than "damn is this real?" It's real. I'm grasping for words to convey what this is but their aren't enough...so I'll leave it with I love him.

I love to write but I just...haven't for a long time. I have about a hundred unfinished stories on my computer.
Hopefully, this blog will help me along this deployement, help me learn more about myself, and be an outlet for me.

It's midnight and I have to get up in the morning and babysit my friends son, and take the dog to the groomer so...goodnight. =)
