Every now and then I like to publish a comment from another WFFW. I'd hope some of you have some thoughts to share with her.
"I've checked out your blog a few times since the day my husband was hired on
as a seasonal wff. find myself visiting more often now. :) We live in northern
Colorado, but he's stationed at Fort Howes in Montana. This is his first working
season, our 2 year wedding anniversary is in 3 weeks, and I haven't seen him in
over a month... feeling a little helpless some of the time (and frustrated,
since I'm not a particularly vulnerable person otherwise). Not knowing when I'm
going to see him again is one of the most difficult things ever for me. We tried
to make plans a couple of times to meet in Wyoming on days off, but both times
were cancelled due to those pesky fires, ha ha. I'm not a "sit around and wait"
kind of person, so having your blogs to read has been a nice comfort. Thanks for
sharing, ladies! If anyone has any advice for dealing with the "first season
blues," I'm all ears! :)

I know how difficult it is for your husband to be gone on such a special day for you. But, what my husband and I have decided is that an event doesn't have to necessarily be celebrated on one specific day. What's important is that you do eventually celebrate together.
What I have found to keep me going is to get a routine going. Stick to it, that helps keep your life normal. Don’t forget to include your husband as best you can, but you can’t sit by the phone, waiting for it to ring. I’ve done that and it about drove me crazy.
Now, after 12 fire seasons together, my husband and I enjoy our time together even more, when I do finally get him home. But, I’ll be honest, you get so used to fire season that when it’s over and their home, there is another adjustment period of figuring out how to live WITH him again. But, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
