Life With My Soldier

Well, we both finished our school work yesterday. So, we're completely done, and now we're just waiting for time to pass. I'll see him very very soon! I'm excited, but also so nervous. It's scary to think that we haven't seen each other for six months. I know that our love for one another has done nothing but get stronger since he's been gone, but I am still wondering how it will all play out. Will it be like he never left? He's seen pictures of me since he's been gone, I send them to him all the time, but I've lost 38 pounds since he left. Will he like the way I look? Will it be weird to be in his arms again? I know it's going to be alright, and he's assured me that everything will be fine, but the thoughts just keep running through my mind.

My dad's birthday is Saturday. Eric found a set of DVD's of The Rockford Files, the first season. He knows that dad loves that show, so he bought it for him and sent it for his birthday. I thought that was so sweet. I already gave it to dad, he was thrilled. In the box that he sent that gift in, he also sent home a few of his clothes that he had over there. He sent home a couple shirts that he wants me to pack to bring up to pick him up. They still smell like him, so I've been sleeping with them, I'm not quite ready to put them in the wash. My sister seen them laying on my pillow and said, "Are you missing him so bad that you're sleeping with his clothes?" Of course I am! I just wish time would work with me a little bit.

I found the music video for "My Girl", by The Temptations. I put it at the bottom of the page. My dad always played this song for me on his guitar when I was little, and we played it at our wedding as the bridesmaids walked down the isle, while me and my dad stood in the back waiting on the wedding song. Such wonderful memories!
