You know you're a NAVY wife when...

You know your a NAVY wife when... 

1. You don't mind a phone call waking you up at 4 a.m.
2. You tell people that ask that he's 'only' been gone a month.
3.  The smallest contact (text or 5 minute phone call) from your man makes your entire week!
4.  Those recruitment commercials on TV make you cry  because you are so proud! (they get me every time)
5. You feel yourself growing more and more in love with your man even while he's so far away.
6. Planning letters and care packages and putting them in the mail is more exciting then going out for a night on the town.
7. You hold off on seeing certain movies so you can see them with your Sailor when he comes home.
8. You want to roll your eyes when you hear someone say, "I haven't seen my boyfriend/husband in a week!" Seriously, you don't have my sympathy.
9. You can go from being happy, to sad, to lonely, to angry, to proud, and back to happy in a matter of less than an hour. It's an emotional roller coaster
10. The sight of any other man in a uniform makes you miss your husband more....but you can't help but talk to them.
11. Phone and skype kisses are just as good as the real ones (well almost as good...you take what you can get)
12. You get used to plans changing last minute...cause that is just how the NAVY rolls.
13. You wear his clothes to bed
14. You love watching cute love movies because it reminds you of all the cute things he does when he's home. But you hate it too cause it makes you miss him even more
15. You haven't shaved your legs in weeks
16. You suddenly have an obsession with anything military related.
17. You see someone wearing an ARMY, NAVY, or USMC shirt and you get this overwhelming urge to talk to them.
18. You make friends with strangers online just because they are in the same situation as you and are the only ones that can truly understand what you are going through.
19. You can't decide what to wear when you meet him at the airport and you want to look cute, but not too cute, because your cutest outfit you want to save for your first full day together.
20. You realize that HOMECOMING is so much more than a football game.
21. You want to hit any happy couple you see together. like seriously.
22. You see a "support our troops" sticker on a car when you are stuck in traffic and you find yourself guessing about who they know that is deployed and thinking about their entire life story.
23. When the clock says 11:11, you find yourself wishing for the same thing every time: to see him
24. You get excited when its only 3 months until you see your Sailor instead of 7. ( The Official countdown till he is HOME is 86 days!) 
25. You find yourself randomly crying and you sometimes have no idea why.
26. You stay on the internet for hours searching for anything and everything about the military.

(I totally want a picture like this!)

  1. OH! and I forgot to add #27....You find it impossible to sleep at night, and get used to functioning on 5 hours of rest.

  2. You are a strong woman Brittany, seriously. You and Geoff sound fantastic together and there is such a bond when you support someone in something they want to do. Especially if it brings you apart for a time.
