So, my husband and I are currently going through our last (for a long while, hopefully) seperation. We met on the internet, so being apart is nothing new for us. We dated online for a year before we met in person for the first time.. he spent a month up here in Canada. Then, we were apart for another two years before we saw eachother again for another month. Then, this last January I made the big move to Japan where we've been living together for the past six months. We thought this was going to be permenant because we had planned to get married over there.. but you know the air force, you can't take a shit without filling out paperwork. All of it was just too much and too complicated and six months was not enough time to get it all done. Sooo.. we both flew back to Canada where we got married.. and he left a week later. Now I'm staying here for six months until he PCS's because command sponsorshipping me would mean he would get extended a year, and he HATES Misawa. It's definetly been incredibly difficult for me.. we've been apart before, but this time is different. Before we had only a short amount of time with eachother, and this time we actually got acustomed to living with each other, and always having the other one there. I miss him more than I can possibly express... but I'm sure some of you can well relate.

Anyway, so here I am for the next six months. Up next is Aviano, Italy! I was wondering if any of you are stationed there? I'm really curious as to what the off base houses look like.. Because I was less than impressed with the Misawa off base housing. Any ideas, or better yet, pictures, would be greatly appreciated.. and I look forward to getting to know you all :)
