Harder than i thought....

Well the first few days Chris has been at Core-School and not talking to him as much is a lot harder than i thought it would be. Im doing my best to stay strong and support him. I dont really talk to many people about the stuff going on in my life, except him, so i think thats why its so hard. He is my best friend, and i want to tell him everything. I know he is going through a huge change and i will be patient and be as strong as possible. I just wish i had something to keep me occupied so i wasnt so bored! O well hopefully it will get easier. :)

:)

This weekend was amazing :) i got to see Chris :D i didnt realize how much i missed him till i was in his arms again :) its gonna be a hard 4 months, but i gonna stick it out because i love him.

Help Our Military Families

Did you know that overseas military members can use expired coupons up to six months past their expiration date?  Military families stationed overseas are often living on one income and money can be scarce. Let’s support our military by showing them some coupon love! 

heres a link to the krazy coupon ladys website explaining how we can help military familes, even ones that arent over seas!

Music = Life

Music make life so much better. Every time i hear a song that's about people in love, i instantly think of Chris. I love jazz and oldies. Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra,Ray Charles, and Etta James are definitely my favorites.At last by Etta James is the song i want to dance to at my wedding someday, its a romantic song and i think of Chris every time i hear it.Great thing about music is that it brings people together. Me and Chris love the same kind of music, not the oldies thing as much, but we definitely enjoy listening to country music. Whenever we would go offroading in his truck or go on adventures i would put in the country CD and we could listen to it over and over again.
I think my favorite country song right now, is actually on my play-list at the bottom of the page, Come Home Soon by She-Daisy. It may not apply directly to me and Chris but i love it because i think about all the military wives that are at home with the kids, while their husbands are over in Iraq or Afghan. These women are definitely role models for me. They are some of the strongest women ever. I hope to be as strong as they are some day.

First Day Back

First day back to school from spring break, and i am sooo tired. I have my senior project today and physical therapy, so the rest of the day will go by fast. I only have 11 days left till i see Chris! I'm so excited <3.

yeap...

Laying here in bed, thinking about Christopher...why does being away have to be so hard. I just want to kiss him and be in his arms, hearing him say i love you...thats all i need. He is my life, my everything....i dont think i could ever live without him. This week will be very busy so hopefully it goes by fast so im one week closer to seeing my love. goodnight world.

Inside My Mind

A lot on my mind today, missing chris like crazy, only 12 days left :). Its another sunny day here in california. I'm laying on my bed listening to some country and writing to my love. Life is so different not seeing Chris everyday. I feel like my other half is missing, but i look at pictures and work on the scrap book i made of us to help ease my sadness. I cant wait to hug him on April 22nd...and i probably wont want to let go haha. Today is going to be a good day! I'm always trying to keep my spirits up, i write a note on Chris's facebook wall everyday so when he can see it he knows i definatelty missed him. People may think its stupid or crazy but i guess it helps me to see his picture and tell him i miss him and i love him :).

Life as a Military Girlfriend

 
I am a military girlfriend. I have promised to be here for him upon his return, no matter how long he is away. People may say I am insane for making such a commitment with no guarantees, but I hold onto our promises and have faith that he will come home safe to me. I know full well that my love for him fuels him in the worst of times.
 
I am a military girlfriend, there is no ring on my finger that symbolizes our commitment. I hope every day that he will be able to call because a simple 30-second phone call can bring the greatest spectrum of emotions… smiling with tears in my eyes from so much joy and pain. My relationship is based on a brief communication where “I love you and I’m okay” speaks more than volumes and gives me the strength to keep going.
 
I am a military girlfriend. I take no moment spent together for granted. I hold onto every touch, caress, kiss, every word. I have memorized the feel of his skin, his smell, the sound of his voice, and I play it over and over in my mind so that I will not forget. I cry myself to sleep some nights because missing him hurts so badly, but wake up the next morning, brush myself off, and start a new day.
 
I am a military girlfriend. The events of the next several months hold my life, my love, and my future in the balance. When you watch the news reports, you may turn away and go about your business relatively unaffected. When I watch news stories of the war, I do not see nameless soldiers a half a world away. I see individuals who will be forever changed by war. News of every casualty causes me physical pain and deep sadness, and tears beyond my control.
 
I am a military girlfriend, not a spouse or family member. When you say your prayers for the wives, mothers, and fathers, please don’t forget about me.

Beautiful Sunny Days :)

Well it's a sunny day here in california and im sitting at home missing my love like crazy. No letter today :/. Made me kind of sad but hey maybe i will get one on monday :). I'll probably spend today cleaning, writing to chris, and doing some photography :). I love when it's sunny here, makes me a lot happier. I wish Chris was here, i miss jumping in his truck and just driving around finding something to do. His last letter said he should be getting a phone call sometime, so i sit here waiting and staring at my phone lol. I wont go anywhere without, i would be so sad if i missed his call, and thankfully my teachers don't mind if i leave class to talk to him :).
