I can't think of anything

to title this post lol.  Oh well.  I'll just jump head first in and see where I go. 

So we are down to 30 something days!!!  I'm so flippin excited.  I still have a ton of stuff to do around the house to get it all nice and tiddy but if I don't get it all done no biggie.  I'm sure he won't care how cluttered the house is just as long as he is actually at home. 

But he has been doing a bit of shopping while he has been away.  I received a fondu set yesterday :) 

We went to The Melting Pot for our 2 year anniversary and boy was it yummy.  If anyone has the chance to go there then you better hop on it.  Its so yummy and so much fun.  I can't wait to fondu with him when he gets back.  Which I better hop on it and get some recipes together for it.

He has also purchased a heavy duty steam cleaner!!!! 

I'm almost as excited for the steamer as I was for the washer and dryer we got  last year.  I can finally get my grout all nice and clean without having to get down on my knees to scrub, scrub and scrub some more just to find out I have a white film on it.  It also comes with attachments to clean the tile.  Apparently he has bought some other stuff for me that I'm not to know what they are till they are delivered.   Which I just checked and something is being delivered today.  Guess I'll have to see what it is when I get home tonight.

I think he thinks the gifts will make me feel better about him being gone.  Which in all honesty not really.  I would rather him be home driving me crazy then spoiling me from thousands of miles away.  Oh well atleast the gifts we will use around the house.  Now if I can just keep myself busy cleaning and working for the next month it will all be downhill from there :)

Writing

So I finally did it today.  I wrote my first handwritten letter to my guy and popped it in the mail.  Yeah I know I am about 2.5 months late.  I should have been doing it from day one.  But he said he didn't care if I actually wrote a letter as long as emails were coming his way.  And boy have I made sure he has emails.  I shoot him a email every morning.  Its the first thing I do at home on the weekends in the morning and the first thing I do during the week when I get into the office. 

I went and saw Dear John lastnight and I think thats what got me started.  I have been wanting to actually sit down and write him a letter from day one.  But since he said it didn't really matter I thought emails were a bit better.  But seeing all the letter writting that went on in that movie and knowing how I feel when I get a letter that someone actually took the time to sit down and write made me feel bad.  Why did I not start this sooner? 

There is no way to know if he will actually write me back.  I don't want to tell him in an email.  I would prefer it be a surprise. 

But how I hope he does though :)

Changes

So since I started reading blogs of other mil spouses I have noticed that some of the women leave their loved ones boots just where they were left during the deployment until their hunny returns.  I didn't do that.  I put his up in the garage to get them out of the way.  Since he moved in with me he has always left atleast one pair of his boots out in the open and I'm always stubbing my toes or me feet on them.  I thought about it the other day and I felt bad that I put them away.  I have changed alot of stuff since he left and he says it's ok but I don't know how he will actually feel when he gets back and sees all the changes and has to adapt to them.

But I did notice one thing that hasn't changed.  On D day he left one of this ACU coats hanging on our metal head board.  Over the last couple of months I have been rearranging and organizing things of his but I never thought to put the coat away.  I recently got a new bed and I tossed his coat on the dresser and its been there the last week.  Well I was in there cleaning again and got through the pile of towels, blankets, and Chloes stuffed animals down to his jacket.  I automatically hung it up on the new metal headboard and went on with my business.  After a few minutes it hit me.  That is the one thing that hasn't really changed since he left. 

So even though it doens't match my bedroom decor it will stay put till he gets back.  Its the one thing that I don't want to change.......

Love!!!!!

So I read this post just now and I thought I would share here.  I have very little followers but maybe someone will like it as much as I do :).  I got it from Fifteen Months..... An Army Wife's Deployment Journal and it just hit in the right spot with me.

"Love Under Ground"



"I'm having a tough day today. My night is his day and his day is my night. We live in two seperate worlds and his life, quite literally, happens a day ahead of mine. Owing to the 7, 738 miles between us, life doesn't even occur on the same day for us.






I think one of the hardest evolutions taking place in my heart is the acceptance that life goes on. It's tempting to wait by the phone or computer for a spark of a connection. Somehow, life goes on - bills get paid, trips get taken, you miss his call, you say the wrong thing, you miss days of writing letters, work has to be done, wars have to get fought.






It's so difficult not to worry about the cumulative, long-term effect of the gaps in connection but somewhere inside I guess I know that my understanding of what defines "connection" between a man and his wife is going to be stretched. What I'm really trying to absorb right now is the knowledge that love and life always make a way even when you can't see or feel it.






There are flower bulbs that lie dormant in the dark, sunless ground for seasons at a time. From the outside, it would appear that nothing is growing there at all. Yet when the right time comes, out of that dark, wet soil emerges life. In the secret and hidden world not seen by man, something beautiful was being forged all along, just the way that God designed it. Unseen to our eyes, He sustains and grows, He fortifies those fragile things until they are in season. I take faith in this today and hope that I will remember it.






Perhaps this is what he does with military marriages during wars. He puts a special love under ground so that while there are limited flowers, their roots will course deeply into the earth. Roots entwine in place of hands that can't, anchored there by something nobody sees. They will be sheltered as they grow into their next season, where what beauty they behold will once again be apparent to the rest of the world.






Root with me underground, my Love and entwine your roots with mine. Let's grow another year deeper where nobody can see us."

Guitar Anyone?

So over the past few weeks this song has been playing on the radio.  Its called "According to you" by Orianthi.  I am absolutely inlove with it.  I just downloaded the album and its freakin awesom.  Check out the video!!!!



Don't you just want to run out and learn the guitar now?  I know I do :)

The things we do for love

So amongst tinkering around with things here at the house I'm sitting here constantly pressing the "check email" button on my email page for emails from my beloved.  And listening to Pebbles whine because I won't put her up in my lap.  Now if I was the normal person that I was before he left I would just go to bed and check my email in the morning.  Yeah uh I can't seem to do that tonight for some reason.  Then again I do this about every night these days lol.  I've organized, done laundry, played with the pups and am a bit tired but debating if I want some Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream!!!!  Aww that stuff is so freakin good if you like bananas and chocolate.

I pushed the button again and still no new email.  Hmm its been about 15 mins since my last one.  I'm thinking its time to call it quits, go brush my teeth and go to bed.  The only thing with that is I can check my email on my phone!!!  Yeah but it takes a bit longer than here on the lap top.

Yeah so even if I go to bed I'm still going to be up!!  Oh well sleep is for the weary!!!  Goodnight ;)
