Household6

I started watching Army Wives by accident. I was flipping through channels one Sunday night and happened to come across it on Lifetime. It was the second show of season one. I was sucked in from the get go. Maybe it was because I wasn’t involved with an Army man back then and I’ve always been intrigued by military life. Now that season two is ready to start (Sunday, June 8th) I’m not sure that I’ll be able to watch it. It’s completely different now that I’m involved with a soldier. TV doesn’t always portray things realistically but even more than that, season two seems a little less intriguing because I’m dating an Army man that is deployed in Iraq right now so the show  hits a little closer to home now that I’m going through it in real life.

Tammy (Household6)  and I were chatting about the show and we started talking about which character we were. Hands down, I’m a Roxy. In so many ways I’m not like her, like her loud outspoken personality - that’s so not me - but there is one huge way I’m just like her and relate to her character. She didn’t know anything about the Army lifestyle. She met a soldier while at work one night and after a whirlwind courtship (about 4 days I think it was) she decided to marry him. She packed up her kids and moved onto an Army base. Although Seth and I aren’t married, or haven’t even met face to face yet, and I’m not living on an Army base hanging out with other Army wives, I’m learning as I go along, just as Roxy does. I don’t think there was anyway I could be prepared for all that goes along with being involved with a soldier, but I certainly wouldn’t change it for the world! I’m one proud Army girlfriend.

Which Army wife are you?

Pamela Moran - the woman that struggles to keep her family from financial doom, married to a Delta Force man and has to deal her husband’s secret assignments

Denise Sherwood - the devoted homemaker who has a troubled teen and hasn’t known much outside of Army life. Her father is from a long line of military men

Roxy LaBlanc - a single mom who married an Army Private First Class soldier after only knowing him a couple days

Claudia Joy Holden - the strong and respected wife, the heart of the military goings-on where they are stationed at and married to a recently appointed post commander Brigadier General and she’ll now have to face new challenges because of her husband’s promotion

It’s been awhile since I posted my introduction. My goal was to write on here once a week but I didn’t exactly start that goal out on the right foot! So anyways, I’m back to make a quick post.

Lately I’m having a harder time with this whole deployment thing than I did in the beginning. I don’t know that it’s specifically the deployment thing, I think it’s more the little communication that has recently had to happen. I understand why our communication is limited right now and I know it has to be this way but it’s hard to get used to.

I got pretty spoiled with all the emails and all the instant message conversations Seth and I used to have. To go from having quite a bit of communication to having next to none is a big adjustment and one that is going to take some getting used to. And I’ve found that with less communication comes more worry.

The point of all my rambling? I’m having a hard time dealing with less communication.  I’m worrying more because I’m not communicating with him as often as we used to (well that and things are just plain bad over there). So I’ve come to the conclusion that I MUST find some things to do to occupy myself or I’m going to go crazy.

Hi I’m Tishia, friend of Tammy’s and proud Army girlfriend to Seth. When Tammy asked me to be a guest blogger here at Household6, I kind of laughed at the thought of it. I feel so unqualified to be writing anything about the military life because this is all so new to me! I’m learning as I go along and taking it one day at a time and I certainly still have so much to learn!

I suppose I should take a second and give a little background as to how I became introduced to the military life. Tammy actually plays a role in this because she is the one that introduced me to Seth.

It was a rather interesting way it all came about and some people call me crazy but I wouldn’t want it any other way, it’s our story and that makes it special! I think back to that Thursday night (I remember it like it was yesterday) sitting in Tammy’s online conference room and getting 7 card stud gratisstreap poker on linepoker texasstrip pokergambling pokerstreet poker gratisomaha holdgiochi seven card stud gratisbonus code party pokerscarica gioco poker,gioco poker,gioco poker da scaricarepoker gratuitogioco poker da scaricare gratisgiochi omaha pokerpoker da giocareholdem poker regolepoker su internet gratispoker superstars invitational tournamentscarica gioco pokerpoker non onlinepoker heads up onlinegiochi carte pokerstreap pokergiochi giochi onlinecome giocare pokercarte pokerpoker online downloadpoker texas holdem online,holdem poker on line,holdem poker onlineworld pokertexas holdem romabonus casino on net,casino on net,casino on net propone un bonusvincere alla roulette onlineroulette systemwww casino online comregole roulettegioco baccarat gratisstanze di gioco miglioricasino online comcasino online in italianobaccarat gratisgiochi casino da scaricareblack and jackvideo poker on line gratismetodo roulettegioco keno gratis in lineabest casino onlinecasino no depositplay casinowww casino netvideo poker per pc gratiscasino on line senza deposito on the subject of me being single . The next thing I knew his picture up and I’m looking at his gorgeous eyes and this great smile thinking wow he’s really cute. Not thinking anything of it, I went on and on about how cute he was and suddenly there was some virtual match making going on. And as the saying goes, the rest is history.

It’s been an interesting couple of months to say the least but I’m learning to embrace each and every day and to not expect anything except for the unexpected, if that makes any sense. That was one of the first things Tammy taught me and boy is that saying ever true!

I’m learning that I am a lot stronger of a woman than I gave myself credit for and I can certainly state the fact that it takes a special woman to be a soldier’s wife/girlfriend! It takes a lot out on us emotionally, more than a lot of people realize. And there seems to be a lot of negativity around me about the whole situation of building a relationship with Seth.

But I’m at the point in my life where the feelings I have for him and the feeling that this is the first ‘right’ thing in my life in a long time is all that matters. I’m not going to let other people’s thoughts and opinions dictate how I feel about him. Yes caring so strongly about a soldier isn’t the easiest relationship I’ve ever had but right now it’s exactly what I want and I’m not going anywhere!

So there you have it, a little about how I became a part of this crazy, wonderful military life.

I’ll be back soon!
