Big events and Valentine's Day

When you are with a forces man, you can't really have a love of special events.

My sailor is going away today, and missing out on probably all the special events coming up including two stag do's.

I now understand two things.

1. Why forces families can never guarantee that they will be able to do things.

2. With special occasions, the day itself isn't a massive thing.

Him not being here on Valentine's isn't a massive deal. I'm not a fan of Valentine's day anyway. (Although a bunch of flowers wouldn't have gone a miss lol!)

The time we spend together is what is important. You make it work. He is going to be away for his birthday, but going to try and make it as special as possible for him. He's away for family members birthdays. But that's where I come in, and make sure that I can make up for him not being there.

This whole navy girlfriend thing is a constant learning curve, but it'll get there. It feels so much easier him going away this time. I don't need him to be in constant contact with me. I am comfortable enough to know that he cares about me that I don't need to worry. He'll be back soon enough.
Time to enjoy my own company, and get some decorating done!
Anyone fancy helping me paint my walls? O:)
