How to Make Time Before I Deploy Special

Hi lovely humans! Long time lurker, first time poster looking for some suggestions. I’m leaving for a deployment in a few weeks, and am feeling really disappointed that mine and my SO’s plans for a getaway or even a last romantic dinner together have been cancelled due to COVID. Because we live in FL in a popular tourist location we’re being especially careful. How can we make these last few weeks special when all the traditional “special” things are out of bounds, and we’re basically limited to things within our own house? We’ll be exchanging rings to wear while I’m gone (and have been looking at engagement rings for when I get home!) and I’d like to make that more significant than just popping open the package and putting them on. Just feeling pretty down at the moment and looking for ways to cut through the stress of prepping for a deployment to focus on us. Thank you!

Do you two have a favorite movie? Perhaps cook dinner together, have some adult beverages (if that’s legal, not sure your ages), and watch it.

My husband and I are trying to navigate this lockdown world too, it’s challenging. We got engaged in January and married in March with only an officiant and a friend to take pictures, and we still haven’t properly celebrated any of it because life is so different these days. Had to cancel our honeymoon, and that week is fast approaching and it kind of hurts. We are trying to look on the bright side despite that.

But if everyone gets creative, I think we can still absolutely make the most of life.

Being a military spouse myself, I’d like to thank you for your service. I will keep you in my thoughts, even though we are strangers.
