Milspouse Friday Fill-in #41

  1. What is one of the things you always do special when your husband returns from a deployment?  submitted by Keep Calm and Soldier On
    We don't do anything in particular.  When we didn't have kids, we'd go out for a nice dinner, but now I usually cook something special for him.  Months on end eating crappy food definitely warrants a juicy steak dinner.
  2. What do you do to help your spouse and/or yourself re-adjust after a deployment or long separation?  submitted by Diapers, Dogs and Deployments
    We don't have to readjust.  We just get right back to being a regular couple.  Even on shore duty, I'm the one making sure the bills are paid and the house is in order and things get done.  If anything, I try to help him relax.  Sometimes he has a hard time smelling the roses when he'd been doing 60 mph for 6 months straight.
  3. Are you a crazy coupon clipper (I’m becoming one, so share your secrets with me)?  submitted by Married My Airman
    I'm learning.  I bought toothpaste for 24 cents yesterday.  :)  I buy one Sunday paper and clip only the coupons I'd use.  Then I wait for those items to go on sale.  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  If it's a fantastic deal (like my toothpaste), I'll buy it.  But if I'm not saving that much money, and we don't really need it, I don't buy it.  Crazy couponing is good, but only if you actually use the stuff!
  4. What’s your most treasured memory of you and your spouse (not counting your wedding – that’s a given)? submitted by Scrubs, ACUs and One Crazy Ride
    The night we met.  I'll never forget what he looked like, what he was wearing, how he walked, the movie we saw, where we went, who was there, etc.  The night he proposed is a close second, but the memory of the instant I fell in love with him takes the cake.
  5. If you could live anywhere overseas, what would you pick and why? submitted by Little Moments Like This
    Sooooo not gonna happen!  But I'd choose Italy.  I'd love to have a chance to look further into my family tree.

I feel the same way about using coupons. If it's something I normally would need/buy, then I'll clip it. It's not really saving money when you buy something you don't even need!

Cooking something special is definitely a nice way to get back into the routine of simply being at home, I think. :-)
