How i feel

so I'm getting the empty feeling, I've tried to talk to clayton about how i'm feeling but the skype didn't work and i'm feeling like he wouldn't realy care anyway. I want to hear him tell me he loves me without me having to tell him first. I want to know that there's noone else. I'm giving myelf to him, i'm not talking to anyone i'm not physically with anyone else, i'm waiting for him to come home and i'm waiting for us to have a chance to be together and to have a fighting chance. when i talk to him about whats going on with our paperwork that deals with us being married he just shrugs it off and say I don't know, and in translation i don't know realy means i don't care. I don't know if thats how he realy feels but thats how i feel he feels and if he doesn't tell me diffrent how am i suppose to know. I know that if i could just be strong until he gets home if i could just last six more months until i get to see him for more than four days, we might have a fighting chance. but how am i suppose to get thru these next few months if i don't have my needs met. I can survive without my physical needs not being met, but i need my emotional needs met because that affects how i feel every day. if i'm holding my self for a man who can meet my emotional needs but just choses not to shows me that he realy doesnt care or love me and thats not somone i should be wanting to be with...

Moving, TDY to texas, and then PCS to missiouri

one more day

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do, with one more day with you

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

Leave me wishing still, for one more day
Leave me wishing still, for one more day

I am not the perfect Army Wife. The deployments sometimes get to me and there are times when nothing seems to go right when he's gone.I think about how wonderful it would be to have my Soldier home all the time. There are times when he is home I push him away so ti doesn't hurt so bad when he leaves again. At night I cry because I can no longer handle trying to stay strong. There are times when feel like walking away from this life I have built, but when I stop and think about it, I remember how much I love my man and I am proud to be an Army Wife.

today was hard i din't get to talk to him and i realy needed to. I'm stressed He told me not to worry and not to stress but it's so hard not to. I sat down and looked around at the mess and boxes that i had to pack it into and all i wanted to do is cry. I want him to be able to wrap his arms around me i want to be able to have him hold me close and tell me not to worry and not to stress. I feel like i can't breath. I feel like one day without talking to him my walls are closing in. Its so frustrating because i'm not some weak women who cant carry on when my husband is deployed. I'm a soldier myself i know how the military works. that's whats so frustrating because i have to fix my paperwork in the personel section so we can live together, start our family but clayton hasn't helped. Thats frstrating all in it'self i'm hoping he'll be able to get and fill out the paperwork and send them back with hopfully a little money to pay for the proxy stuff.

PROXY MARRIAGE

so i started the process of doing the only thing i can right now to fix the paperwork so my marital status says married again, this whole thing has been so frustrating. i wish we never got divorce in the first place. I'm hoping clayton can do all the paperwork so we can start over with our new life together. i'm going to have the paperwork done within the week and i'm hoping clayton can do it also and send it back ASAP because i need to have all this paperwork done befor i leave to go to Texas. I'm hoping that we can get done. so i can have housing when i get to MO.

my fears

We've (Clayton and Me) have been so much over the years, a miscarriage, seperation, infedelity, a divorce and many ups and downs and back and forwards. I've prayed and pleaded for the streagth to start over. so far we've been doing realy good. i've had to talk to him about my fears which isnt like me bc i keep it in. im scared he's going to cheat im scared he's going to change his mind and leave. its hard to over come fears that have already been a reality at one point in our relationship. i know that im not going to allow myself to find comfort in the arms of another man. i've made that mistake befor and i believe that is one reason we ended up seperating in the first place. i love clayton so much and i would never do anything that would bring us back to that point. im praying for his safty and im praying for the streagth to be the woman that he needs me to be

Background

Me and Clayton met in July 2007 in front of a finance hall on Fort Sam Houston during our first week of dental assistant school for the united states army. From the moment our eyes met we were the it couple. He followed me into the main hall to insure that i made it safly to my friends side. I setteled into my seat and started to focus on the lecture, when i felt a tap on my shoulder. When i turned around to see who dare interupt a LT. during the lecture i found the fool that would adventually become my husband and in his hand he held a note. We wrote back and forth threwout the whole lecture and still to this day i still have no idea what that LT was trying to teach us. Within a hour we had our whole lives planned right down to the ranch on the border of Arkansas and Missiori. Two and a half months later we got married and a month after that we got married and a month after that he was in korea.

The first three months were slow and agonising. It was so hard to wait at home for his return everytime i heared his voice there was the sound of drunken fun and the suspicion of him cheating seemed to grow with each email or call. I would hear the girls in the back ground and it made me wonder if i was patiently waiting spending what was left of my young life, my life of freedom as a nieve little girl in love with one man who was inlove with other women. Befor Clayton i had only be in love with one man, i had only been physical with four men in a time and place where it was natural to have more than 4 lovers a week. I started feeling trapped and used and betrayed by a man that i swore to love and be faithful to. I made a mistake.

After I made a that mistake i made a choice to go active duty army so i could travel to Korea to try to make it work with my husband. During the tration i made another mistake and when i got to korea i relised my husband had been making his own mistakes. I tryied to forget about what we did but guilt and betrayle made me push my husband away and we ended up getting a korean divorce. There was times when all i wanted was to turn to him and tell him how much i loved him and how much i needed him but instead i turned to another man out of my foolish pride. It took two years befor we saw eachother again and reconsiled. Then he deployed to Iraq. I know it's going to be hard for the next year. There is going to be allot of lonly night while he's gone but i know that all of those lonly nights are going to pay off when he gets home. I know it's going to be so much better when we get to live in our own house, sleep in our own bed together.

I have insecurities and i know my husband is a man which means that he doesn't want to reinsure me every second of the day, expecially since he's in Iraq away from everything that he's used to. He doesn't need to know my insecurities because it might make him have his own. I don't want that. I want us to be a happy couple and i want to be with my husband Because i love him so much and i know that if we can make it thru all we've been thru we can survive it all together.
