Well, its been a little over a year, and we’re doing good. My family will be visiting this month, his this summer. He’s never had to go overseas, so we’ve never had to deal with a long deployment, though when we did finally get married, it was a year after he went to boot camp (aka a year since i’d really been able to see him, except for a couple weeks after boot camp and the week he came home to get married). That year apart was enough!
Its nice to talk to family on skype, though even with it, we both still talk to our moms on the phone more often. My dad and I aren’t much for phone people, so we get on Xbox live and play with each other and chat that way. We miss them, and our friends, but facebook helps us keep in touch with friends. Other than that, the radio stations where we are suck. :P He grew up an army brat, so he’s used to it, and I just seem to have adjusted really well (though I’m young, I was very ready to be on my own). We’d both still like to go home more than once a year (my job doesn’t give me much for time off).
