Day Number Six;

So I haven't written in a couple of days. So naturally you can guess, quite a bit has happened. So let me start off by saying, every single military girlfriend/wife has told me to stay busy. That way my mind is focused on other things and not ALWAYS on my soldier. So I decided to take on the project of re-doing my baby sisters room! So here I'll show you before and after pictures of it:

So as you can see, it took quite a bit. But it was really fun! :) So I recommend, if you're just starting out in the military family, keep yourself busy. Right a story, paint a room, surround yourself with friends and family who care. And although they might not understand why you wake up at 5 in the morning to text him when sleep sounds so great, they still love you.

Which leads me to my next topic:

HE CALLED ME YESTERDAY!

Okay, whooo. I got that out of the way. But anyways, yes, he did in fact call me yesterday. At first I didn't know it was him. He called off of a private number, so it kinda threw me off for a second. But we talked for a while and might I say, hearing his voice made me realize exactly WHY I go through this. Why I go through the distance, and loneliness, and crying; because I love the man that serves our country. I love the man who chose to go through this 15 week ass beating, to keep me safe. And I love the man that I call MY soldier. So we got to talk last night, and he called me this morning at 2 o'clock my time. And we texted for a little bit until he had to go. And then he got about an hour downtime 8 o'clock his time, 5 o'clock my time. So we talked for a bit and texted  quite a bit. Although I think he said they might take his phone tonight. :( Not looking forward to that.

Me and my close friend Felisa made army blankets last night. They're the knot blankets, the one that you don't have to sew. And in my opinion, they came out SO good. One side is all Army affiliated stuff, and the other side for mine is pink, and hers is purple. We had fun. :) Not too hard to make at all.

 

You see, they look good huh? We slept with them last night. Warm as all hell. :)

Anywho, right now I'm not doing too well. :( I feel so alone today and even though I am able to talk to him and text him, I'm just not okay. I feel as if he's having fun. He talks about how much he likes it and how funny things are and he's made a bunch of friends; whereas I'm not that well off. I'm miserable. Yes, I am making the best of a shitty situation, but I'm so far from "okay". On the upside, he sent me 2 letters. I'm waiting for them in the mail. :) Very excited to see what they say. I cannot wait!

Well, I'm done here for now. Maybe I'll write another one tonight before bed. :)
