Civilian wives miss their husbands, too.

You know why? Because they're so busy all the time!

The weekend just ended, which means I just got done working two doubles at the restaurant. I'm exhausted. Slept as late as possible this morning, and am now nursing this cup of coffee.

Jimmy left at some rediculously early time to go get some extra studying done before his classes today. He kissed me goodbye and we discussed trying to get a sitter on Thursday so that we can have a long overdue date, and actually see one another for more than an hour at a time.

The majority of the weeks are spent passing off the keys to each other, just kissing each other goodbye or goodnight.

The time apart to time together ratio is probably pretty similar to how we spent our lives in the Navy, it's just more broken up.

And we have less money.

These seem to be more reasons indicating that joining the Navy myself might be the right decision. Better quality of life. A house, even. A second car. Awesome vacations and fun family trips when I'm home.

Waiting tables isn't great, and I certainly don't want to do it forever.
