Day 1

Well, I have officially survived a whole day without you (unless I die in my sleep ;p).  It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be.  The hardest part was waking up and not having you here to kiss good morning and goodbye.  It was also hard to come home, see your car and know that I can't kiss you or hug you.  Vader is also depressed even more today.  He's either harassing me to be loved, or he's wandering room to room meowing and looking for you.

When you first took the job, I felt like I wasn't allowed to complain or be upset because we chose this job.  I actually had people tell me "but you and he chose for him to take this job".  Just because you took the job and you're leaving doesn't mean I can't be sad and upset about the fact that you're gone for the next month followed by a year.  Today, however, everyone was asking how I'm handling it.  I tell them that if I don't dwell on it I'm good.  People were more understanding about my feelings today, which made it easier I think.

I saw a red Charger tonight and it was beautiful.  Made me want to buy one.  I know the day will come and I will enjoy the 6+ months of driving it all by myself ;)

I also decided I want to include a picture a day because hey, why not add another thing for me to ramble on about.  ;)  

When I went to get my massage, they had the coolest sink ever.  Like, made me want to put it in my purse and put it in my dream home cool.  Once I turned it on though, I realized how awful the actual design of the sink was.  The faucet was so close to the edge of the sink and the sink was so flat that the water ran everywhere on the counter.  It definitely is not going in our house though, because this girl hates cleaning and anything that makes me have to clean more I hate.

Babe, I love you more than anything in this world and I cannot wait until we have our week together before you leave.  We get to celebrate our two year anniversary together, even if it is two weeks early.  It will be amazing no matter where we go as long as we're together.  You're amazing.

Love you, forever and always

April 29

I know I promised you an awesome present while you're gone overseas, but I hadn't thought about what to do you while you're still in America.  I ramble all the time in person, so why not document it here for you to read every night :)  If you want you can even call me and I'll narrate for you ;)

Given the fact that you left today which sucked, it was a pretty good day.  I also came to a few conclusions.  The first one was that I should always remind you that the shower head isn't on so when you get it you aren't trying to figure out what's going on.  Second conclusion was that no one should ever see 4:30 AM voluntarily or involuntarily.  It sucks.  Third conclusion was that when we have teenagers, we will make them respect others, and not allow them to laugh at a crying girl at the airport at 5AM (yea that happened).  Fourth conclusion- Vader is a bed hog.  He's the reason we need a California King bed :p

I miss you like crazy.  I know we don't always do things together because we do enjoy our free time, but man being out getting spoiled today with my massage and pedicure sucked because I knew you weren't going to be at home when I got there.  It wasn't as bad as I thought though.  Vader was here to greet me and stalk me all afternoon.  He misses you.  We need kitty Xanax for him to help him cope :)

You are an amazing man and I am proud of you.  This year is going to be trying, but it's going to be rewarding.  The job opportunities when you get back are going to be amazing, and for that I am excited.  If you get homesick I'll put Vader in a box and send him over to you for a visit (joking.... maybe ;)  ).

I can't wait to hear from you tonight, and find out when you have class each day.  Go visit more of Boston and check out our future houses ;)  I love you forever and always.
