Episode 8 is one of my favorites. I loved watching all of us together at Otter Lake. It was such a pretty day, (one of the few days of summer). I'm glad Mrs. Goins wanted to have the meeting outside. It is so important to discuss reintegration, not only with your husband when he comes home, but also with your girlfriends.

Episode 6 shows Lindsey and I trying to overcome our fears. 

Lindsey is so worried about hosting her battalion coffee, and it turns out to be a huge success for her. I know personally how hard she tried to impress the ladies that attended her function, and you can see for yourself that she cares about the way presents herself and represents her husband. It is a priority for her to uphold the Army traditions that have been set for officer's wives to live by. And, because this is important to Lindsey, as her friend, it is important for me to support her in her efforts.

I know I have a lot of thoughts about last night's episodes. I also know that sometimes, you should keep your thoughts to yourself. I can, however, share these:

I just finished watching last night's episode for the second time. The first thing I need to address, because it's really bothering me, is my "@#$% you" comment. I can't stop thinking about it. I shouldn't have said that. I even remember being in that exact moment and after I said it to Brian, I thought to myself, "You shouldn't have said that, Blair." I have never said that to him before, or since. And, that's not something I ever say to anyone. I think it, but I don't say it. I am a human being and sometimes I say things I don't mean. I'm not asking for forgiveness. Yes I am. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to Brian. And, I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I'm embarrassed.

Whew! I really enjoyed watching Episode 2.  The best part was that the 7 of us watched it together. It was rough when the show started. It really did bring back some hard feelings about the memorial service. That was a tough day-I'll never forget it.

In watching the show I see natural occurrences happening when you put seven strangers together, (men and women both). When you meet someone new, all you know about them is what they tell you. So it's sometimes difficult to understand where someone is coming from or why they are all about what they're about until you have an understanding of what they've been through.
