Friday Fill-In



What is one of the things you always do special when your husband returns from a deployment? submitted by Keep Calm and Soldier On
We haven't had a deployment yet.  He has been gone for different schools and trainings, but nothing too long yet. 


What do you do to help your spouse and/or yourself re-adjust after a deployment or long separation? submitted by Diapers, Dogs and Deployments
Again...no deployment yet. 

Are you a crazy coupon clipper (I'm becoming one, so share your secrets with me)? submitted by Married My Airman
I wouldn't say I'm a crazy coupon clipper, but I have started carrying my coupon organizer with me.  Here in Okinawa, our commissary will take coupons up to 6 months past their expiration date.  Our families send us their expired coupons and I have little coupon exchanges with some friends.  I haven't saved an incredible amount yet, but it is nice seeing that I'm saving something each time I go grocery shopping. 

What's your most treasured memory of you and your spouse (not counting your wedding - that's a given)? submitted by Scrubs, ACUs and One Crazy Ride
The weekend of our first Marine Corps ball together.  I flew out to NC for the weekend and we went to the ball, I got to see him all dressed up for the first time, and then the day after he took me to Mike's Farm and we just enjoyed the time together.  I loved that weekend!

If you could live anywhere overseas, what would you pick and why? submitted by Little Moments Like This
I'm living in the place I would pick!  This was hubby's first choice and when I found out he was being stationed here, I asked him if he would sneak me here in his luggage.  Instead he asked me to marry him haha.  I spent 6 years out here when I was younger and I really loved it out here.  I couldn't wait to get back and hubby couldn't wait to explore all the food places!

  4. My hubby would LOVE to be stationed in Japan! Living overseas is our dream--mine is England though--and I'm always a tiny bit green with envy whenever I meet someone who's living me dream lol :)

  6. It is pretty special seeing them dressed up for the first time, isn't it? I remember the very first time I saw my husband (then boyfriend) in uniform, and then when I saw him in a dress uniform for the first time when he took me to my senior prom. I still love seeing him dressed up for military balls.
