While we spend another Thanksgiving apart, I still have many things to be thankful for!<\/p>\n
Email and webcams:<\/strong> I know that email can seem impersonal sometimes, but I\u2019m still thankful that I can look forward to my husband\u2019s emails everyday and know he is safe. <\/span>At least we don\u2019t have to communicate by letter. <\/span>Webcams can be great too, even though we haven\u2019t been able to take advantage of them during this deployment. <\/span><\/p>\n Digital Cameras:<\/strong> <\/span>Digital cameras are great on both ends. <\/span>I get to see pictures of my husband on the job and he gets to see a ton of pictures of me and our dog! <\/span><\/p>\n Military Personnel:<\/strong> <\/span>The Marines and other military members who help to keep my husband safe. <\/span><\/p>\n Monty (our dog):<\/strong> <\/span>She makes me feel safer and the house a little less empty when my husband is gone. <\/span><\/p>\n My great family and friends:<\/strong> <\/span>Without them I would be lost. <\/span>They provide support when I\u2019m down, help me with the house and help to keep me busy so deployments go faster. <\/span>This year I\u2019m forever thankful for my mom, sister and best friend who came to cheer me on during the Marine Corps Marathon. <\/span><\/p>\n Block Leave:<\/strong> <\/span>I look forward to the time we get to spend together and new memories we get to make when my husband gets home. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While we spend another Thanksgiving apart, I still have many things to be thankful for!
