Away

Everyday it gets a little easier,

Everyday it gets a little harder.

Being a Military Girlfriend is:

Waiting with your phone in hand just Incase you get that unexpected email.

Craving the feeling of holding the man of your dreams hand or to kiss his lips for the first time.

Wishing circumstances were different, so you could be with him like ‘normal’ girls get to be with their boyfriends.

Hoping things work out for the best, so you can spend your life with someone amazing enough to risk their life for their country.

Counting down the seconds until you’re with him again, and avoiding thinking about the days until the dreaded deployment.

Wishing not only to be with him on the good days to celebrate, but also on the bad days to comfort him and just be there for him.

Finding other ways to be there for him, to comfort him, to celebrate anniversary’s, birthday’s, holidays, and everyday in between.

Remembering that this wait is worth it, for him any amount of time is.

Loving, even when you’re scared, even when you think it’s too soon, even when you don’t know if you can anymore, even when you’re questioning everything(even yourself). Through all the hard times, weeks of not talking. Loving through everything.

Lastly, being a military Girlfriend is

Staying Faithful, no matter the distance, or the amount of time apart.

You have to Stay Faithful.

To anyone who doesn’t think military relationships can work… read this I’m about to go on a rampage. My boyfriend is million miles away… he manages to still treat me like a queen. We manage to continue to have a healthy relationship even only talking once a month. I have been surrounded at home with friends and siblings that have these unhealthy relationships and they see eachother everyday. When I see these unhealthy relationships I am proud and can’t believe how my boy still treats me great compared to others even with the situation we are in. This past year I have been treated so poorly… been used, been heartbroken, lied to, manipulated. Then this boy walks into my life. He has vanished my trust issues and gives me faith everytime I get to talk to him that this is all going to work out. I am truly blessed to have him in my life. So for anyone who thinks military relationships can’t work… I would rethink things. Even though it has its hard times, this relationship is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Wedding planning has been crazy! The hardest part has been picturing every detail I have picked coming together. How will the flowers I picked look? Will table settings look nice with the center pieces? Am I forgetting to request a certain song? Will everyone like the food we picked? Is there going to be enough time for Photos? So many things have been running through my mind. I know it will be worth it and that no matter what it will be happiest day of my life. 💜💛 Our wedding colors are Yellow and Lavender. Our favorite flower which will also be the theme and focus of our wedding, is the Sunflower 🌻

Dating a Military Cadet

Here’s what I learned during my time dating a military cadet. In my case, Tom goes to Norwich, so some of these will be really specific to that, but I think anyone who has ever interacted with anyone who attended a military school can relate.

1. The obsession with the class ring is something I’ve never seen before. I’d never let him know, but dude it’s ugly. It’s this giant, and I mean GIANT, it has to fit all the design elements from their class, gold gaudy ring that has a large stone in the middle. He’s had a count down literally from his first day as a rook. We’re at 15 days now. Big news. I’m so proud of him, and I know how much it means to him, but like wow. It’s intense.

2. This kinda goes with the last one. The pride that they feel in their class and their school is immense. As a rook at Norwich they have to memorize a timeline of the schools history, and Tom takes every advantage he can to spout out facts when we discuss his school. Oh, and if you ask them about the song, they will sing it. Even 77 year old men will sing the whole thing. And I think he owns about 50 different items of clothing with “Norwich Cadets” written down the side.

3. They basically have school wide jokes you will never be in on. I think this probably applies to any military school. He just spits them out in conversation and I have to stop him and say “wait... I don’t know what that means”. There are jokes that I think are something I can spout to other people in the military and they look at me like I’m crazy, and I tell Tom about the interaction and he just laughs. So now we have a rule, that when he explains the joke to me, he has to specify that its just a Norwich thing.

4. You will start to obsess over all things related to their school. Anyone you see wearing their school name will automatically have to be approached and asked if they know the 1st Sgt of Echo Company. There is no help for it. Especially since these schools are such small little microcosms of culture.

5. You won’t be able to see them all the time. There are traditions and things that they need to do with their company, rook brothers and sisters, any teams or special training groups they are apart of. They have no way out of this. You just have to let them go and accept that you are not the priority at that moment. If they’re as sweet as my man, they’ll text you when they can, but you can’t expect much. It’s not a normal school, they can’t just skip class if they want, and even if they got to choose they would probably elect to be there, so let them go out and do their thing. After all, that’s why we love them.

One day when we were just dating he randomly stopped in our conversation and said, “You know I’m going to marry you one day, right?” I laughed it off thinking ‘how could he say that if we just started dating?’

Time goes by and I just know that he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, thinking ‘he was right.’

He asked me to marry him and told me “I’m going to do everything to make you the happiest and give you the wedding of your dreams.” I giggled. He asked me why I was laughing, and I said “I’ve always dreamt of having fireworks at my wedding, but I know that it’s a far fetched idea and I want you to know that just marrying you will be enough.”

He went on deployment, and I had to do all the wedding planning on my own. The little bit of time we got to talk he always sounded so guilty for not being able to help, but assured me that he would do as much as possible when he got back and that he wanted everything to be perfect.

On our wedding reception we were dancing in a line to the train song (him and I in the front of the line), when before you know it almost all our guests are in our dancing train, the DJ opens the doors and leads the train outside to two chairs. I started asking him,”Wait what’s going on?” Then fireworks start to burst in the sky. “You said you wanted fireworks,” said my husband, “you got them.”
