When God Created the Navy Wife...

The good Lord was creating a model for Navy wives and was into his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared. She said, "Lord, you seem to be having a lot of trouble with this one. What’s wrong with the standard model?"

The Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? She has to be completely independent, possess the qualities of both father and mother, be a perfect hostess to four or forty with an hour’s notice, run on black coffee, handle every emergency imaginable without a manual, be able to carry on cheerfully, even if she is pregnant or disabled and has a flu, and then she must be willing to move to a new location ten times in seventeen years. And oh, yes, she must have six pairs of hands".

The angel shook her head. "Six pairs of hands? No way". The Lord continued, "Don’t worry, we will make other Navy wives to help her. And we will give her an unusually strong heart so it can swell with pride of her husband’s achievements, sustain the pain of separations, beat soundly when it is overworked and tired, and be large enough to say, "I understand, when she doesn’t, and say "I love you", regardless.

"Lord", said the angel, touching his arm gently, "go to bed and get some rest. You finish this tomorrow". I can’t stop now, said the Lord, "I am so close to creating something unique. Already this model heals herself when she is sick, can put up six unexpected guests for the weekend, wave goodbye to her husband from the pier, a runway or depot, and understand why it’s important that he leave".

The angel circled the model of the Navy wife, looked at it closely and sighed, "it looks fine, but its too soft". "She might look soft", the Lord replied, "but she has the strength of a lion. You would not believe what she can endure".

Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek of the Lord’s creation. "There’s a leak", she announced. "Something is wrong with the construction. I am not surprised that it has cracked. You are trying to put too much into this model".

The Lord appeared offended at the angel’s lack of confidence. "What you see is not a leak", he said, "it’s a tear". "A tear? What is it there for?", asked the angel. The Lord replied, "Its for joy, sadness, pain, disappointment, loneliness, pride and dedication to all the values that she and her husband held dear".

"You are a genius!", exclaimed the angel. The Lord looked puzzled and replied, "I didn’t put it there".



For those of you whom don't already know, after being able to enjoy living in Twin Falls for over 3 yrs, Deon in now been assigned new orders. He is back stationed in southern California. We have decided that for now Me & Marek are going to stay here in Idaho. My sister Taija has moved up to keep me company, and I am so very thankful for her!
Deon left last week to Cali, and then leaves Cali this week to go out and meet up with the Air Craft Carrier that his Command is currently deployed on. It was hard saying good bye, I think one if the hardest yet. Having a child in the mix really does change things. But we can't wait for the deployment to finish up so that we can go down ans spend some time with Daddy :)
So that is our life right now. Living each day as they come. I thank my neighbors & close friends who have already started helping me out with a few things. Like replacing a light switch that was shorting out, I havent yet learned to do my own electrical. LOL.
I love my husband with all my heart & soul. and I miss him already, and its true not every one can be a military wife it takes a different breed. It is hard when they have to be gone, but so much fun when they are home. I wouldnt have it any other way.
XOXO Hunny
