Military wives as friends

Being a military wife for seven years, I have seen the bad and good in the other wives. A few years ago before Michael deployed I had a great group of friends. There was about 5 of us and it was a blast all the time when we got together. We got much closer once the guys left and there were just us wives left. But during the deployment all the shading women came out to play. As a "point of contact" for their company I heard all of the stories and couldn't believe what these ladies were doing as their husbands were over seas. None of my friends were in that group but it did make me look at everyone a little different. The men got home and well pretty much all of my girlfriends moved away, but the nice part is we all have kept in touch and we still all care for each other very much.
It had been a couple of years til I had found a great friend again, Amanda. Her and her family were the perfect fit with us. Oh my gosh I have never seen Michael like somebody as fast as he did with Chris. I believe that Amanda and I were destined to be friends and I hold a special spot for her in my heart. it was like we had known each other for years when we started talking. She likes everything I like and the funny part is she does her house like I do. We think very very much alike.But I got close to her and then they moved. It made me then think about do I really want to make friends again when I know we will just have to say goodbye?
Well I cant fight my personality and I have become friends with these two very funny ladies, Terri and Nicole. We just laugh when we get together and I can finally have that sense of being a girlfriend again. And the nice part is we are all a little different but we have the same values in our marriages and being moms that we can relate to each other. I can tell we are going to have many fun adventures together.
But there are some trashy ladies in Madison class that give military wives a bad name. These ladies look like trash and talk like trash and oh my gosh, dresses like trash. Some of them do not prefer me because they told some lies and I made a point in pointing out their lies.
I suppose in all the friendships I've had and all that I've lost that I shouldn't be afraid in making friends but en braces their friendships and just remind myself that no drama is a better way of living and that goes with friendships too.
