I think right now, as I'm counting down the days until Ireland (11) and my wedding (201), Sunday nights at 10 pm are what I live for. And currently, Mondays at 8. That's right friends I will be glued to my television again in a few short minutes to rewatch episode two. Have I mentioned before that I am so glad this season wasn't last summer's season? Trevor is in Iraq and episode two had me in tears yet again. Pamela (my second favorite Army gal) narrated the premiere, which I really like that feel. This season has also gotten a little more artsy and that only pulls at my emotions more. Anyway back to my thought on Trevor: last night's episode was narrated by him and Claudia Joy. His words are a letter to Roxy and I wanted to look over his shoulder the whole time. It's amazing how much I feel like I can relate to these people and how much it brings back all of my emotions from last summer. In a way that's good because it gets me writing. The military is my muse so the reason is justified.
Which brings me back to Army Wives and the emotions they go through when their husbands are gone. I sympathize. Roxy said last night that she "was lonelier married than she was single" and I totally feel that. I know my marine loves me, he even told me yesterday he'd give me the world if he could afford it, but I feel so much lonelier now than I was before I met him.
One more good thing about Army Wives is the music. I've started a playlist and I'm going to have to buy a few cds here shortly. I've found it's good music to write too (I visualize well). Here's some good ones to check out:
- "Running Away" Midnight Hour
- "Nowhere to Now-Here" The Kin
- "Time" The Kin
- "Embers" Young Galaxy

Ok, warning you right now, I'll probably comment a lot since we can relate to being "semi-military wives" (I'm not quite engaged yet, but I think its literally over the horizon).
Anyways, I caught Sunday's episode too and every time Trevor spoke I teared... and I know the lonely feeling too. Obviously, and you know, it goes beyond just missing your man while he's deployed: I hate having to cook alone and for myself, watch TV alone, sleep alone, and just experience things alone. When you know you're meant to be with someone, you want to share all the great things in life with them... and while our guys are fighting for us, it just sucks they can't be there. But sometimes I let myself get mad at the Army :-) which causes stress, but I try to keep myself busy too: Army Wives, jogging, work, and now soon-to-be nursing classes.
I'm so excited for the rest of the Army Wives season :-) I'm so anxious for next week's episode already!
Take care,hun!
