A co-worker/friend of Obi-Wan’s is having some marital issues with his wife. Obi-Wan was telling me yesterday about a conversation he had with his friend “Joe” (not his real name) about his marital issues. Joe mentioned something along the lines of needing space from his wife and that he spoke with several other Navy friends [...]

Obi-Wan and I were sitting outside having dinner last night and the conversation drifted to the fact that neither of us can believe he was gone for a year from our house. It still amazes both of us that he was gone for that long. At some point, the conversation turned to how I coped [...]

that startle me from Obi-Wan. Last night, we had crazy bad thunderstorms in the area and at one point, there was a really loud boom. It woke me up and scared the bejesus out of me. He put his arm on me and said “it’s okay.” And then went on to tell me how he [...]

I am pleased to report that date night was successful. We went to the movies and then dinner afterward as planned. Date night started out great with about 45 minutes of some good ole’ fashion arcade games at the theater. We had time to kill before the movie started so we played two games of [...]

Tonight is date night for Obi-Wan and I. We haven’t had one in a while b/c we’ve been engaged in house projects or we’ve been just plain tired and don’t want to leave the house. But tonight, we are actually going to the movies and dinner. The plan is to see the latest Indiana Jones flick and [...]

Obi-Wan noticed on his way to work yesterday that his wedding ring was broken. Too confusing to describe but it’s broken. His poor ring has weathered a lot over the years. He never takes it off and so it’s on for every man/construction project, plus, years ago, Yellow Dog left her mark on it too. [...]

Another blogger wrote a great post today about things she has learned about herself while her husband was deployed, and how she is still learning things now that he is back home. I wanted to write a bit myself on this because these deployments do make us learn what we are made of as well [...]

Before Obi-Wan left for the sandbox, he always sat in his favorite chair, a brown leather recliner. He almost never sat anywhere else in that room. Since he’s been back, he’s been sitting in a different chair. While we were watching tv last night, it hit him that he hasn’t sat in that chair since [...]

This is only one of many many reasons why I love Obi-Wan. He left to go out of town for a few days and when I came home, I found little notes to me around the house. Just little sweet nothings that mean a ton b/c he took the time to write these notes so [...]

My beloved is going to be out of town for a few days next week for work. It’s the first time he’s been gone since he came home from Iraq. Don’t worry, I’m not getting all maudlin or anything. But it will be strange to have the house to myself with just the paws again, even [...]
