Y'all I have to say that I'm SO thankful that I've become friends with another Army wife in the unit that lives super close to me! For the most part we get together for sushi dates - it's always a week highlight!
I remember after one of our first get-togethers she suggested we grab sushi the following week, and I made some comment like "oh I don't know... I'd feel guilty going out to eat again" and she simply said, "we're Army wives! We deserve it!"
I tend to be cautious of the "I deserve it" line - although it certainly runs through my head rather frequently! It's amazing how uplifting it is to be with someone who legitimately "gets it". Being 2 hrs away from most of the unit and missing the Army wives dinners, it's really nice to have an Army wife friend so close by!
Tonight was another sushi date - our husbands joke about all the dates we've gone on! :) Thanks to my parents inviting me to invade time with their friends last week, I discovered that a local thai/asian place has super great happy hour and sushi deals on Wednesdays! Hard to pass up a $3 roll and $2.50 beer!
That's all. Just had to share. I'm thankful.
should anyone even suggest that you don't deserve it - send them to me!! I admire that you can be thankful in the midst of this :)
