When you are a military spouse, you don't always get to be around your family. I have been so blessed to meet many spouses that I don't just consider friends, but also family. Holidays that you would normally spend along aren't so lonesome when you have people over to share a meal or some drinks. I learned in Okinawa that I LOVE entertaining. I just love people coming together and sharing thoughts, memories and laughter.
I really love staying in touch with people too. I love being some one that other people can rely on if they need it. I recently got a phone call from a friend that we knew in Okinawa for maybe the last 6 months that we were there. And it was so nice being able to talk and catch up. I love it. It was nice that after all this time, this friend came to me for advice. Its so nice to know that even though I don't have all the answers, some one still wants to hear what I have to say.
I am so thankful for Skype, not only because I get to talk to my husband and our families, but I get to stay in touch with the many wonderful friends I've made through out our travels. It helps when our actual families are so many many miles away to know that we have a pseudo family where ever we go.
