Deployment By Brynna

I'm going to add to this blog all deployment long. This is going to be based on my own personal life experiences (the good, the bad, the funny, and definitely the ugly). I hope this blog turns out as entertaining as I dream it to be lol. This won't be complete until the end of the deployment and I will keep it as updated as I can but here is a start ;)

1. Good friends will meet you at the playground with junk food and wine on deployment day.

2. The best kind of friend to have is the kind that laughs at you when you are crying because Domino's brought you too much cheesy bread and you have no husband to send it to work with.

3. The week revolves around Wonton Wednesday, even when you're on a diet.

4. You feel the little green jealousy jerk when you read about phone calls and emails your friends have received and feel bad when you're excited about your call and email when they aren't as lucky.

5. You will wake up at least twice a week with your phone stuck to your face JUST to be sure you don't miss a call.

6. You find yourself angry when people ask random stupid questions like "Is he going to kill anyone" Ummmm no Captain Obvious, he's in Afghanistan to play jump rope, sniper school was for shits and giggles.

7. There is no disappointment like waking up from a dream and realizing it was just that- A dream.

8. Anyone who rings your doorbell unannounced should be immediately shot. I'm not even kidding, can you say heart attack?!

9. A watched phone never rings.

10. Your life lights up for 30 minutes when you hear their voice and then dims again when you hear the phone click. Praying that you'll hear their voice again is an understatement.

11. Skype=Amazing!

12. There's no conversation that a "let's blow up the house" comment can't bring to a awkward halt.

13. When your husband is gone it's a good idea to borrow your friend's husband for random labor (keep it G rated ladies, this is important. X rated borrowing of husbands is never a good idea, just say no.) like starting lawn mowers, grilling, and beach cruiser customizing.

14. Watching shady neighbors while making smores is better than reality TV.

15. Sometimes you just need to let loose and drink wayyyy too much Jameson Whiskey to remind yourself that life could always be worse.

16. Las Vegas Baby. "I got shoes, I got booze, but I ain't got no tattoos!" "Well then you're just shit out of luck then aren't you?". "Purple thong!!" "OMG, can you see my ass? Yes, but it doesn't look bad" "Okay good.".

17. Daddy Doll Daniel has more fun than the real Daniel.

18. You can never imagine how much you miss the smallest things. I would give almost anything to close my eyes and open them and it be Saturday morning in the Ramos house, with Daniel downstairs making breakfast and my coffee with the girls helping.

19. Time flies when you're having fun :)

20. Calm down.
