Help me please! I amMilitary Deploying in a month coming back in Febuary. Our first anniversary is during it

I am wondering what to do... I got married December 17th of last year. We didn%26#039;t do a Christmas of our own last year because it was so soon so we just spent it with families. Anyway the thing I%26#039;m most worried about, I%26#039;m missing our first anniverary! Grrr. Anyway what can I do? I plan to do something September 17th (at least it%26#039;s the same day as our anniversary maybe not the exact month) before I go. What can I do while I%26#039;m gone to make it okay for her? Send flowers on that day yes I know, and maybe a gift. But past that? Any help is much appreciated!

Send a video message from there on that special day. It will mean a lot to her.


Also, you can place and add in your local town newspaper. You can do this in advance and say something meaningful and sweet on that day.


You may also (and since you will be making quite a few dollaras while deployed) arrange for a cruise for the two of you on September 17 when you come back. Youc an send her the tickets for the cruise or annouce your cruise plans on a letter or email at the time of yoru anniversary.





Congratulations and good luck
Reply:Call her. When I was in Iraq I made sure to find a way to call my family on special days. Hearing your voice on that day will let her know you are thinking about her and that will mean more to her than any flowers or gifts. AND!!! you should get or borrow a video camera and record yourself talking to the camera like you were talking to her. tell her how much you miss her and how much you love her and wish you could be home and have her in your arms and that youll try your best to make up for lost time when you get home. send her the tape.


something to try is talking to your chain of command and try to get mid-tour leave around that time. most NCOs are understanding about this kind of stuff and will try to help you out with it... then you can tell her all those things in person!
Reply:well hon i say make a video tape, you could do like a daily segment for the time you are gone and put stuff on like what you love about her and well you know! you could also like do a pleasure hunt using the same video, you would hide stuff at your home or leave clues for spa or dinner or something fun for each day and on that special day something big like a live video conference where you and her are having similar meal at the same time or something, hope i helped, all the best
Reply:Since I don%26#039;t know when you%26#039;re leaving, I%26#039;d say celebrate Thanksgiving, just as you would if you were home. Get your family involved. If you would normally go to your family house, have them cook a Thanksgiving Dinner and get everyone over, it will just be early since you will not be there. Since you will miss your anniversary, take her to a hotel, Pre-stage. Go there in advance and set up. Chocolate covered strawberries, whip cream, champagne (if you drink), bubble in the Jacuzzi, etc. For Christmas, you can have her go to families if you can and decorate like Christmas. Have her presents under the tree early. I%26#039;m sure she%26#039;ll send yours to you. Just a thought....

Reply:Call her, try to send a letter or if you can a card something in advance...depending on where you are and if there is internet access, you could order flowers online and have them delivered to her...No matter what she will understand your perdicament and just a simple call or message to let her know that you love her and are thinking of her on your anniversary will be enough...good luck:)
Reply:hire a maid for the day to really make her feel special
Reply:What I would do is starting on your anniversary and ending on Christmas Day.....Do you have a family member or close freind that you can trust?


Before you are deployed go out and get her a major gift for for your anniv. and of course something special for Chrismas and for everyday iin between have a little gift , say a bracelet one day and the matching earrings the next day, flowers, candy ......Let her know she is special by giving her a small gift each day to ..believe me she will love it and especially if its from you.....If she is into music and you have a favorite song...get the local radio station to dedicate it to her......hope I helped
