This was last Valentine’s Day. He was deployed and he sent me all this. I cried because I was shocked and it meant so much that he took time out of everything he had to get these for me. I wasn’t expecting anything. He is a keeper. I love this story, however he thinks its goofy and unoriginal so this year is supposed to blow last year out of the water, so we will see what happens this weekend… also, I love this, still, so lets see if he can top it. It meant so much.

It’s funny to think about how far we have come. This was his R&R in 2010.

Today had one of those mornings that everything seemed a little off. I cut my finger, burned my bagel, got make-up all over my face and etc. Oh well, I’m at the airport waiting for flight #1 to go see my honey. I feel so lucky and fortunate that we get this time together. Everything is different than last year. I get odd memories of what last year was like all the time, for instance, today on the L I remembered how anxious I used to be riding it because there is no cell phone reception underground and what if I missed a call?! I’m so proud and grateful we made it through his deployment and are able to do everything we have been. He always says, “we deserve this”.

I am thinking about marriage too much, but I just want it for us. We have been doing amazing, I knew we could figure things out. Things clicked again after being off for a while. That deployment threw us, but luckily we were able to rebuild. I want you, forever.

My honey has been unaccessible by phone for a few days, just meaning I can call him but he won’t answer because he can’t. Now he has no phone at all and there is no communication for two days. We hadn’t talked in a while until he woke me up and we chatted for a few minutes this morning at 3AM. Haha back to deployment communication. He is just training that’s what this is all for.

Just one more reason I am incredibly thankfully he did his year in Afghanistan and is hopefully done for a little while. I still think to myself-thank god deployment is over!!

My First Halloween Care package!(:

Maybe I’ll make another one.

Since his first two care packages were filled with snacks and he doesn’t want it anymore, so I’m sending him fun things to do!

  • Halloween jar full of fun dip, candy corn, & lucas candy.
  • Watermelon scented bubbles because he…

She is amazing! James is so lucky!

unforgettable thoughts.: I know it's super early for a Halloween package, BUT James said it's not ;)

Just kidding. Deployment is finally over. Fuck you distance. Fuck you danger. Fuck you time. Fuck you completely deployment.

Texts are back, overall. Actual communication is back. I have my baby back.

I love shopping, but I don’t do it often considering I have been so broke, but today I spent lots of my hard-earned cash. Too much probably. It was nice to spoil myself a bit, though.

I just bought this dress. It’s the possible first thing my boyfriend sees me in for the first time in 7+ months. 

Buying it and other cute things has made me more and more excited, he’s coming home, soon(ish).

Gotta keep telling myself its almost over.

In one week there has been one tiny email and two facebook comments. I know I should be happy with that, but I’m just sick of deployment and I’m sick of little to no communication. It doesn’t matter its almost over, I won’t believe that until it happens.

I want normalcy. I want to be able to hear his voice, that puts me at ease much more than typed words. I want to be able to call him too. I want him.

Soon.
