Military Spouse Life in Sex & The City GIFs

July 28, 2016~ lifestyle

We subscribed to Crave TV about earlier this spring and one of the first things I did was re-watch Sex and the City (SATC). I don’t know about you, but I stayed-up till 12midnight all through high school to watch it every saturday night on HBO. Most of it was beyond my high-school level comprehension of life, and I laughed at all the right jokes because it felt right, but it’s only now with time and experience that I pull so much more from the show.

I know, I know, but hear me out.

One thing that struck me while re-watching was how many of the moments are emblematic of sisterhood (“army sister wives” as we called ourselves at our last posting), motherhood, and a life where you’re almost always “waiting for your man” whether he’s real, deployed, or you haven’t met him yet.

Call me cheesy, call me whatever, just don’t call me Shirley.
