Wow, so I haven't written in a while. I apologize to all of you who keep checking back. My year has been so busy and it just started a few months ago. I'll give you an update on everything that has been going on in my life and then I'll give you some advice or words of wisdom for the week.
In January, I went to the boot camp graduation of my boyfriend. I'm so use to the Marine Corps lifestyle that it was weird going to the beginning of it. I dated two of my good friends previous to this boyfriend who I met after they had gone through boot camp, so I missed out on that part. So I can say I've been through boot camp to deployment and I know the drill as a Marine girlfriend. Once we returned home from San Diego, things went horribly wrong. Friends, separation, and a lot of other factors played into our break up. We were apart for about four weeks when he decided he wanted to get back together. It's been rough but things have been better this time around. It was our one year on 4/3/11 so that was nice. We're dealing with a lot of stress like most military couples. I think my boyfriend is having a hard time with me being so involved in the Marines because a LOT of my good friends deployed recently and that has been affecting our relationship. Overall, I've been really busy with school and work, so I apologize for not writing.
I've had a lot of emails lately asking me how to get through boot camp and deployments. If you read back to some of my first posts, you will find all of the links, websites, and tips to help you cope with those two unfortunate times of your significant others lifestyle. My words of advice for this week are "Carpe Diem" or "Seize the Day". You never know if it will be your last, enjoy it and never take a day for granted. There are so many people in regular civilian relationships that don't understand that our relationships are hard. We don't know if our loved one will be returning. So what if you're in a long distance relationship, try it military style. Distance means nothing when you have to deal with life or death. I love it when I see couples complain about being three hours away from each other. I tend to laugh and look at them like they are crazy. Maybe that's harsh, I guess you just don't think that is all that bad when you see it from our side of the fence. Take every chance you have to say "I love you" or "I miss you" to the one you love. I guarantee it will make their day and it will improve yours. Seize the day, never regret, and never take things for granted. I'm heading to bed, I hope you all have a wonderful evening. Email me if you need anything!
