A Lonely Night....

Well I think My loneliness is starting to set in. I've really been Missing D a lot lately. I plug away at life so well and just keep moving forward, I know that it's all temparory and if I just keep moving forward it will be over before I know it, but I have to say, I'm really starting to feel it. He's been gone exactly 2 months yesterday. Weird how it seems longer than that....yet when you say 2 months, it doesn't seem like it's been that long. I think it's harder right now cause we can actually communicate with each other. Sounds kinda funny. You would think it would be easier but now that we can talk almost everyday it seems to make the situation harder. I actually was feeling like my feelings were hurt today cause he didn't call me tonight. In Basic you know they can't call, it's not their choice but when they have the freedom to do so and they don't, well that sorta makes a touch of insecurity creep in the head. BLAH!!! I don't like that feeling at all. it's definitely a different place for me to be.I am seriously not a needy person, so to feel that make me feel kind of icky...

On the flipside, I booked his flight today for him to come home for Christmas. It's only a 10 day trip, but I am so looking forward to seeing him. Especially during such a wonderful time of the year for us. He arrives on the 18th. Our daughter's bday is the 22nd and he leaves on the 28th. New Years would be our 8 yr anniversary since we started dating again. It will be sad to not bring in the New year together, but since he has to be back by the 2nd, it's better to make sure he gets back on time. Anyway....So in a month he comes home for a few days, this is good and it's something we can look forward too. Cause when he goes back we will not see him again for at least 14 weeks if not more.

So yeah, tonight is a lonely night...blah...maybe tomorrow will be a better one....

Today is the day!!

My husband is graduating right now as I type this! I'm so incredibly proud of him! He is proud of himself as he should be! The happiness and pride in his voice is unbelievable! He has done a wonderful thing and has changed our lives for the better! HOO YA!

I received his photos yesterday, what a great surprise and honor to receive them on Veteran's day! I can't wait to see him again. I wish I could be there during his proud moment, but he knows I am there in spirit. <3

Here's my handsome Husband in his Uniform!

We are so incredibly PROUD of him!! YAY!

I'm So proud!

I can 't believe time has finally come! D graduates Basic from Great Lakes on Friday! I'm so incredibly proud of him! He's done a wonderful job, worked super hard and has made it through! Last week he even got promoted to E2 for doing an excellent job as a Laundry Petty Officer, he's earned a medal for his uniform in Fire Range as well and another that they all get. I can't wait to hear how his run through battle stations went. He finished up with that this morning! He reports to A school next week, and then he can have his phone back! WOO HOO!!!

I soo look forward to that! To be able to communicate with him a bit more will be wonderful! I'm pulling everything I can together to get him a laptop for school. Most of our supportive family is helping kick in and I'm going to sell some stuff at a community Yardsale this weekend in hopes of earning a bit more to go towards it. Life is good and I'm so content. I miss him like crazy but it's all for a good reason that he is gone!

This morning I was sitting at the table Facebooking and drinking my coffee and I just had an emotional breakdown. Not cause I was unhappy or mad or overwhelmed but because I was so content, proud and excited for our future! Our life this time last year was so different. We were struggling so bad, making trips to the food bank to make ends met, downsizing into a smaller apt cause we couldnt' afford our 3 bedroom anymore. Just working so hard to keep our heads above water! this week I sent a check out to the same food bank to give back to them and help others in need. That felt amazing to do such a thing!

Life is AMAZING right now and I am truly blessed with a wonderful Husband, beautiful kids, a job, AMAZING friends and lots of support from those who truly care! : )
