When he's here, we spend almost every evening together and all weekend. There are three important moments for me during the day. First, I wake up with him in the morning (he leaves for work VERY early), so the kids are still fast asleep. I make him breakfast and sit with him while he eats and has coffee. Sometimes we don't even talk, but the quiet is so nice. A lot of the time, I can fall back asleep after he leaves.
Second, we always try to have dinner as a family, regardless of what that means time-wise. If he's running late, we just have dinner later. I've always found that being together is more important for me, my husband, and the children, than sticking to some schedule. Third, he and I usually spend some time alone after the kids go to bed. We watch a commedy show on Netflix, or I read a chapter from a book we're going through together, or just talk. I try not to set an agenda for the evening, just see what he wants to do and roll with it. I usually plan things on the weekends. We both are involved with committees at church, which take an evening or two each month. He's also a Mason, so he has lodge meetings once per month, and I play Bunco with a group of mom's once a month.
When he's deployed, we write, e-mail, and Skype eachother as often as possible.
