Months Later.......

Wow its been forever since I have done this. So much has changed. There is weeks left til deployment is over and boy what a challenge and learning experience it has been. To catch you up... I started a support group on FB for military gf's, wives, and fiancées called Military Wives Sisterhood. That page has helped me through a lot of sleepless nights, kept me from wanting to break down, and I actually think the page has done some good for ladies that  just need the support they are not getting else where. When I started it in October, I would never have believed today that there would be over 1500 girls that wanted to be apart of it. I am still amazed. 


As far as education goes I am still going to school for Early Childhood Education and will be finished in September and have my associates degree. I am also going to school for a Pharmacy Tech course set up through the military and they pay for the whole thing. I could go to school for the rest of my life for something different for the rest of my life. There are so many things I wanna do and I am determined to conquer them all before I leave Earth.


As far as Mr. Miller and I go..... Deployment has been hard on us. We fight like cats and dogs through email. I tell you when they say Deployment will make or break you... They were not lying. This has been our first time without being near each other and he is very clingy and can find a way to pester me through email which is irritating. Since he has been gone I have become so independent. Before he left I thought my world would fall apart being with out him but after a while you get in routine and you get use to him not coming home from work, or not being there to roll the trash to the street, or hold you at night. I have become self efficient and honestly that scares him. I know one thing I realized that I dont need any man in my life to make me happy. That I can manage being alone. To me thats amazing since one of my biggest fears was being alone..... 


As far as my Family goes.... My sister is officially Army Strong..... She is stationed in Oklahoma and just got married 3 weeks ago. So know I have  a new brother in law which I love to death and i have known him for years, we all went to high school together and we graduated in the same class. My brother moved to Maryland to live with my dad and finish up his last year in high school next year. So I am the only Phillips left in VA lol. I miss my siblings. 


So now with homecoming weeks away. I am trying to get the house perfect, get everything ready,and still work on the two of us. Its exhausting honestly. But nothing worth fighting for is ever easy. I think a lot of it just has to do with us not use to being apart. I have changed a lot i mean its been 7 months nothing stays the same at home. Well we have a few months left on the ship and then shore duty for 3 years. I swear when they said the first year is the hardest they did not lie.  But now we are on year 2 so hopefully it is way smoother....


Well until next time Muah
