Phone Call? Coming up!!

Well it's been awhile since I've written! Things have been pretty crazy lately. I received another letter from my man again yesterday. I can't wait until Saturday now! The capt just informed me that my fella will be allowed to call Saturday at 1430! WHOO-HOO!!!! That's just what I was hoping for!! 

Crazy things have happened since he's been gone. His dog ended up getting hurt. He had swelling of his front, right wrist and wouldn't walk on it at all. They thought it was cancer of his bone. They did x-rays and blood work, but weren't able to find anything. So, he was sent home with pain meds and prayers - hoping that he'd feel better!

It's been a few days now and he seems good as new. He might be a little off, but he's still pretty perfect to me. We got our pictures taken yesterday and it was SO much fun. I can't wait to get them back to give to my Candidate. 


Well, it's time to get ready for work. Have a lovely day all!

First Letter, and Second - All in the Same Day!

I officially know what it feels like to be on Cloud 9! I might have even surpassed it. Life is now so much easier! I received my first and second letters from my man today. Nothing too crazy with declaring his love or anything, just an update on what he's going through. I can't imagine how hard things must be for those men. 

It's impressive how tough they are and how much they go through. I'm sure I will be hearing stories for days and days. I can't imagine!! He said that he called the Gunny a Staff Sgt which didn't go over well at all. He has to write a 300 word essay and 3 letter words don't count. Exactly 300 words, no more, no less. He has to underline and number every word that counts. Wow. They don't mess around!! 

Before the letter arrived, life has been difficult to say the least. I didn't realized just how much he did around the house before he left. He was such a big help. Doing it all myself now just makes it almost overwhelming. I know I can handle b/c he is going through so much more than I am here, but I sure do appreciate him being here and doing his part. 

I've missed him horribly. There's been days that were really rough. They've gotten better. I'm looking forward to Friday - only 8 more weeks at that point, Saturday we'll be into the 7 week mark. KEEP 'EM COMING!! I'm dying to hear from him on Halloween. I can't wait!!

Well, I'm hoping to become rich while he's gone. I guess if I can figure out how to do that in 10 weeks I'll also be rich publishing and teaching everyone else how!! haha.


Well, I'm off to bed. I get pictures taken in exactly one week for his birthday present. I CAN'T WAIT!!


Take care all!

Bump in the road

Not so good news. I got a text today that things might not be going so well. I pray that he gets the strength to make it through and to give it all he has. I know he's good at it and he can do it. For some reason, he's been singled out and things are harder for him. I know that no matter what happens that he will be impressive with whatever he does. He's an amazing man that I think the world of. I feel that there is something holding him back from wanting to give it 100%, but I can't pin point what it is. 

So, from now until noon tomorrow, things will be rough. I hope that he does all he can and that he works hard enough to make it through to the next round.

For now, it's time for bed. Have a good night all. Keep my man in your prayers. 

SURPRISE ON DAY 4!!

HE CALLED ME!!! I was at the doggie park with my favorite 2 dogs ever and I almost didn't take my phone with me, but I thought I might as well. So much to my surprise, my man's name popped up on my phone just begging to be answered! I was ecstatic! I couldn't believe it, but I was actually a bit nervous... hahaha. We didn't talk long, only 2 mins and 20 seconds (not that I was counting... ) He only got to update me on a few things, say hello and tell me he'll write soon. Drill Instructors come on Wednesday - yikes!!

To be honest, hearing from him was the best thing that could have happened today!!! I LOVED IT! He's my very best friend and I miss him so. It's amazing - picture your very best friend... you know who I'm talking about, the one that you do absolutely everything with. The one that can make you laugh on your worst day. The one that makes the most boring day fun (or at least bearable) The one that knows you better than you know yourself - literally. I spent every day with that person. Every day doing everything with him. Now, I can't even speak to him. They best I get is looking at a picture of him or wearing his shirt to bed. Makes a huge difference and a huge change in your life!

On another note, I've reconnected with a lot of my friends lately which is awesome. Gotten to spend more time with the roomies which is pretty nice. Arbonne is my life right now. I'm really hoping for an amazing month!! I can't wait to see what happens!!

Well, that's it for now. I am going to hit the hay.

Have a good night all!

Day #3

So exciting! I heard from my Candidate. No intensity yet at OCS, just doing medical screening and what not. He will be inducted tomorrow and officially be a candidate for the USMC. I was surprised to hear from him! 

Well, nothing new or crazy going on yet. It's hard to get used to doing everything without him. All my friends have gotten a lot more phone calls from me these past few days, it's nice talking to everyone! I officially have every single weekend planned from here until graduation so hopefully time will just fly by. I bet it does!

I watched his little brothers play football last night and they won by a landslide. Pretty exciting!! The next game I go to I'll be cheering for the officiators, well at least one of them. A good friend of mine is an officiator south of here. I can't wait to watch him!

It's off to kickboxing for me, then a busy day of cleaning and getting things in order. 

Have a good day all!

First Day Alone

Welp, here it is. Today is my first day without my boyfriend. We live together and he has decided to go to USMC Officer Candidate School which is 10 weeks long. It's quite the change, going from being with your live-in boyfriend/best friend to not even being able to speak to him. I'm SO proud of him and can't wait to see him graduate in 10 weeks so I'm trying really hard not to think about the fact that he's not here.

So, for the next 10 weeks my goals are set really high. I have an Arbonne business that I LOVE doing. I work when I want to, which is every day, and I get to meet new people constantly. I'm moving up in the company quickly, my cousin is my inspiration. She is an Executive National Vice President which means that she makes as much in a month as I do in a year as a full time RN. Pretty impressive!! You all should check out the website www.Arbonne.com - I'm obsessed with their products, I've gotten a lot of my friends obsessed as well. It's more fun with them involved!

Since I'm also a full-time nurse, I need to get ready to go to that job now. Then I get to come home and work on Arbonne. :) Looks like today will be the first day of my 10 weeks. I can't help but to think of him as he is being screamed at by the drill instructors and having all of his belongings dumped out on the ground, in the pouring rain. What a change for him!

Have a good day all. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in someone else's life. Go make that difference.
