I just literally laughed out loud at that. I'm sorry you're feeling the ache, friend, and I feel so much for J too. I hope it all gets better and that you guys get to make some new traditions to enjoy together! xo

Not with football, but with missing something that was always there. Something you kind of wished wasn't – because it has its pitfalls.

I had a similar experience on Saturday and I was actually shocked that it hurt. I always thought I'd be relieved, but seeing someone you love give up something they love, it's hard. xo

Everything happens for a reason and I'm so glad that y'all will get to spend more time together this fall. We can tailgate for the Panthers!! xoxo

I know it is tough. Change is never easy – especially when it is still an important part of the person. I hope you both have a great non-season. Miss you very much!

compromises are definitely what makes a marriage 🙂 i'm sorry you're feeling a bit down and hope it starts lifting up soon.

I had to laugh at the quesadilla free since 2014 comment though haha! Compromises, sacrifice and give and take is what all the best relationships have.

But who knows if/when that'll happen…
It is 110% the way I felt about that summer I didn't have a job to go back to in the fall. It just hurt.
And I just had this thought the other day: "Normal" is relative, because we certainly don't have a "usual" army marriage (i.e. I work), but it's normal to us. There, for us, was never any other way to do it.

It seems as though you guys did make the right choice and everything will be how it was meant to be.
