its been a really long day.

Started at 4:30AM (EST), first flight 6AM, landed in ATL at 720AM and next flight was at 1120AM. Then got to Chicago at 12PM (CST). Took the L to a bus to my apartment. Packed to go home and some packing because I am moving. Then got back on the L and got to the train to go to my parents.

I’m about to get off the train and meet my Mom at her office to go home.

I wouldn’t have given this weekend up for the world. And I am glad we were able to have one extra night together. Ill do this crazy traveling for us as much as possible.

Also, junior year is over and I’m on summer vacation for about the next four weeks. And I am going back to my old job tomorrow.

My Mom has been on a cruise for the last week, so I wasn't able to tell her before hand about this trip-

Step-Dad: What are you up to this weekend?
Me: Well I'm actually in NC with Derek.
Step-Dad: You're in NC? Really?!
Mom (in background): NC? Give me the phone!!
Me: Hey Mom.
Mom: Are you really in NC?!
Me: Yup, I got here yesterday.
Mom: Oh, alright cool.
haha she wasn't upset just surprised

Starting the journey.

A bus to a train to a plane to another plane to Derek.

Its almost 5:20 and I’ve already been up for an hour and a half-if I wasn’t sure before we’d know this is love.

I can’t wait to be back with him. Back with my best friend.

No matter if he has to work a lot today and tomorrow I will be so happy to be there when he gets home.

Every single time.

No matter how many reunions we have and how long it has been since we have seen each other, I have the same symptoms. My stomach is filled with butterflies, my chest is heavy and my fingers shake, a lot.

Currently going through this.

The way things always are:

I am taking the same two flights, I am in the same gate and I got through security two hours before my flight. I tried to leave earlier, but I got here super quickly. No matter, better early than late.

Also, I just signed up for my last full semester of school. I can’t believe I am graduating in a little more than a year!

I’m going to be on one of these beautiful machines very soon. Airplanes are gifts in long-distance relationships.

Good morning, Thursday!

Today, is the day I get to travel down to see baby. If the Army has say in it, he will probably have to work, which crushed me yesterday, but today I am happy for any time we get together. I can’t wait to be whole again.

Hey long-distance: we are making you work.

Hey Army: Try again to fuck with us.

Everything else: Fuck you, we will overcome that.

So I just got back from spending the longest weekend we have ever had in North Carolina. We had hiccups, we seem to always have them, but nevertheless I am glad I went. I am glad I have him and we are lucky enough to have time together. We did have a talk about me moving there and him getting a place off post and even getting married. I know our relationship isn’t perfect, I know we fight and things get tough, but honestly, what relationship is perfect? We are real people, we have emotions and we sometimes set each other off. That’s us. Even though I am only 20, I strongly believe he is the one for me. After more consideration, it might not be right for us right now. I have school and my life and he has to save money. Patience, I know we will get there.

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”.

BTW-This weekend I am going to be spending with my honey.

I know, I just saw him, less than two weeks ago, but he has a four day weekend and my classes start next Tuesday. His training is getting hectic and I am taking six classes and getting a job, so who knows when we will have this opportunity so we decided to take advantage of it and I am flying to him. My mom also got us the flight for $10! 

I am so excited to have so much time with him, just us. I am used to this, maybe this is almost normal?!

So… I am going to visit him again. In just a few days. I am so thankful his deployment is over and we can do these little weekends. I am so grateful that we have each other. I am so glad our relationship is not twice a year together, but occasionally together. Nothing beats us and I’m so happy we are us.

Within 16 hours flights have gotten much more expensive.

If I’m going, we need to book this shit now. I hope we can work it out:/ Last night it was $290, now it is $315, that’s only $25 but it’s going to keep increasing. I can’t afford much more, or really even this. I can’t ask him to do it, even though he wants to. That’s not fair. 

If he gets the assurance that he gets that friday off, I’m booking tonight. Even though I was just with him, I need him again. He is my other half. Ugh, this is freaking me out.
