Josh Turner-The Longer the Waiting

The Longer the Waiting, The Sweeter the Kiss
Josh Turner

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
The next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
Will you wait for me darling, I need to know

Well, you know I'm a sailor and tomorrow we sail
It's a hard way of living but I know it well
And if I surrender my life to the sea
You can marry another it's alright with me

Though we won't be together again 'til the spring
Just imagine the treasures I'll bring

Come lay with me, stay with me, soon I'll be gone
I will remember you all winter long
And when I return to the one that I miss
Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
The sweeter the kiss

When the mornings are warm and the valleys are green
I'll come back from wherever I've been

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever I know

Oh, the longer the waiting, the sweeter the kiss
It's better my darling, I promise you this
the next time I hold you, I'm not letting go
I will give up the ocean forever, I know
Forever, I know

This song is one that really hits home... another MilSpouse & Navy Wife shared this on facebook a couple months ago when her husband deployed and it really hit home. I never thought that I would be jealous of my friends whose husbands were deploying, especially because we were on Shore Duty the first 2 years & blessed that Matt was never gone longer than 3 or 4 weeks at a time... but alot of the women I met in Lemoore sent their husbands off last month and I was jealous... jealous that they have gotten to be with them these last 5 months and jealous that they should be home in 6-9 months instead of in 20... Of course the Negative Nancy in me was only here for a couple days & I was able to be happy for them that they will not be going thru the same separation that we've been cursed with :) I am surprised at all the crazy emotions I get sometimes, haha. buuuuut at the end of the day I can not say it enough, I am proud to be my husbands wife & proud of all the women I know standing behind their men during deployments and time apart!

2 more months...

Its been almost 2 months since I last updated... The holidays were awesome... of course, Matt wasn't here to open presents with us Christmas morning or to kiss me at midnight on New Years, but of course I was thinkin' about him! We are almost 5 months down... I can't believe it. Time just keeps movin' along and we're getting closer and closer to being together again :) We have been able to skype and text regularly, so that helps close the distance a little bit, too.

One piece of REALLY EXCITING NEWS... Matt and I are buying our first house... we close at the end of the month & will move shortly after... and we couldn't be happier. It is out in Rainbow up against the Estrella Mountains on an acre and a quarter... perfect for us! We have big dreams of a fence, covered parking, a huge shop & garage, a built in fire pit, and a wrap around porch... and all these things are possible with just a little more time and money... I can't wait! AND it's close to my parents, Matt's mama & sister and our nieces and nephews! JC will be moving with me again when the time comes.... thank goodness, I won't be living alone while Matty's gone!
