Happiness is...
Him. All of him. Being with him. Talking him for more than one hour, one day a week. Seeing him---really seeing him. Being held by him.
The life of a military girlfriend is no walk in the park. But oh, isn't leave glorious.
It feels like it should, a real relationship with real ups and downs, and more than just the telephone and computer. It feels like love. It feels like the perfect vacation. If only it didn't have to end.
Happiness is this. Tomorrow it's back to reality. But for today, I can revel in it.

Travel Alarm
Happiness is...
That moment when your alarm goes off and tells you it's time. It's time to get your butt out of bed and head to the airport. It's not like you've been sleeping anyway. No, you have been anxiously awaiting this morning and your trip to JAMAICA.
You can do this. You have run through each and every possible scenario in your head. Twice. You have double-checked your luggage and run all of the last errands. And now, you're finally going to an exotic island, a vacation, a getaway with your man.
You deserve this. After the fall you've had, it's all you're looking forward to. It'll be the time of your life. And your alarm. Just. Went. Off. Get up, get dressed, and head out the door!
After all, "I'm leaving... on a jet plane... don't know when I'll be back again..." :) Seeya!

Elements
Happiness is...
Getting to see loved ones in their elements. It puts them in a new light. I feel honored to share that part of them, and I feel like I understand them more as a person. Usually, I love them that much more as well.
When I went to MSSA offices or Navy Deployment conferences, I felt more connected. I felt like I had a better grasp of the individual. I felt proud. Seeing the way he enjoyed it gave me a glimpse and made me excited for him.
Last night, it was a ride-along with a good friend. It was sweeeet. Seeing them in action, listening to their special lingo, watching their protocol, and seeing the pride they feel... it makes me reciprocate. You ARE special. Right now, you are the coolest one in the room. There's just no other way.

Bedtime Talk
Happiness is...
A bedtime phone call. It was just like the old times, and just as satisfying. Spend an hour listening to each others' stories about the day, wish each other well throughout the rest of the week, and end the call ready for an awesome night of sleep... happy and refreshed.

Aug. 31st
Happiness is...
Getting a phone call from a deployed boyfriend. It almost felt like he wasn't overseas!
Yes, there IS an August 31st. Oops. Here's my update: I went to the mall, registered for baby stuff with a friend (which was VERY happy), ate a burrito, and hung out with people half the night. Did I get the homework done that I needed to? Not exactly. But it was every bit as therapeutic as I needed my evening to be. C'est la vie.

Bananas
Happiness is...
Eating my bananas without feeling self-conscious. Yes, I am that girl who has to turn the other way so you don't watch the act. Bananas, hot dogs, popsicles, they make me feel awkward automatically.
Is that weird? Am I alone in this world?
Or did the movies really just screw me up that much?
Drives me bananas sometimes... ;)

Chivalry
Happiness is...
Chivalry. I don't care what anyone says, it is definitely not dead....nor does it go against any of my feminist beliefs.
So, boys, keep holding doors, excusing yourselves, letting us go first, etc. Flowers are not for just hopeless romantics (although, my dear, there are still a few of those out there still too ;) am I right?).
Make me feel like a lady.

Clarity at last!
Happiness is...
Skype head sets. Happiness is finally understanding my man when he is talking to me instead of hearing some garbled charlie-brown type vocals, instead of feeling like he's speaking to me underwater.
Happiness is a real, nice, conversation. Granted, it's going to be a little bitter for a while, but things will get better and skype talks will remain great.

it only takes a word
Happiness is...
The perfect words to brighten your morning.
"Good morning beautiful"
"My arms felt empty without you"
"Did you sleep well darling?"
"Thinking of you"
If there is something simple to put a little jump in my step, it's getting up on the right side of the bed. This includes a hearty breakfast, new, a nice outfit, good hair day, and words of encouragement.
How lovely it is to be loved.

Pajama-ish
Happiness is...
Boxers. They're not just a relief for men, they're wonderful jammies. Comfortable in flannel, cotton, or silk, with just a few downfalls....
Why do I need a flap? I simply don't. Why do men need a flap? It still confuses me. I get the whole easy access business, but don't you have to pull your jeans down anyway? Aren't you ever afraid of the zipper? For me, the flap is comic relief, and a reason to not wear these boxers to my aerobic dance class.
What is it about men's bodies that is shaped so differently than mine? When I wear boxers I notice them wide at the butt and tight around my thighs. Since when have guys butts been big?
In any case, I can easily forget these little nuances and enjoy boxers for the exact convenience they are. Goodnight world. Hello PJs. :)
