I am all about social media. In fact, I am on it more than I should. However, sometimes social media can be inspiring. I am "friends" with a lot of women who have been in the same shoes as me. Yesterday I saw one girl, who married a 2011 USNA grad, that is about to go through her first deployment. She posted pictures of them dropping off his belongings on the ship, and I admit that I got a little choked up. More than likely that will be Joe and I dropping off his stuff on the massive ship in a few years. I will always be concerned for his safety and what he is doing, but love conquers all those fears. I am continuing to pray for the girl and her husband, because I know she is also nervous. I have heard that the best advice during a long-term deployment is to stay busy with work, friends/family visits, and trips. It is a time when the girl can dedicate her life to supporting her husband with kind words and prayers. I will be strong, just as I always have been in my long-distance relationship with my fiance. I hope that others will be inspired by my hopes, dreams, and love.
