One Of Those Days
I guess I'm just having one of those days. I miss my boyfriend a lot. I used to do everything with him and I'm still trying to get used to him not being here. It's been three weeks since he left for boot camp and his graduation is May 31st. He's called me the last two Saturdays and it made me happy. I got two letters so far and he send he was going to send another one out this week. I'm trying my hardest to get to his graduation seeing I told him I would be there. My dad and I are trying to save up money to go. He said that if I can't make it that it's okay but I feel bad about it. I don't really have anyone to talk too and I would love to meet some new people on here so I have people to talk too. I hope someone sees this and replies.

My friends understand but sometimes when they say they can't see their boyfriends it's like um...can we not talk about this please? haha. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and almost two months. It's just so stressful and I know when we talk on the phone he can hear it in my voice and I don't want to bring him down with my sad moods. I write to him everyday but it's not the same. I'm 19 and my boyfriends 18. He told me he's basically the youngest one in his division and all the rest are in their mid 20's. I miss him so much but I try to stay postive and strong!

The last time he called me I was crying so bad. He told me to stop crying and that everything is going to be alright. My mom had bought him about 13 stamps so I better be getting some letters back! haha. I know I can do this now because I got my first phone call and letters. I knew those were going to be the things that would help me through this. Even I can't read his handwriting. I wasn't expecting another phone call for a couple of weeks.

I bet you can relate! (: haha My boyfriend also graduates May 31st! and then he leaves to Pensacola! What division is your boyfriend in!? mine is in ship12/div208. I got one letter from him and his mom got one also I miss him like crazy! lucky you got two phone calls! ): I've only gotten one since he got his wisdom teeth out last saturday and wasn't allowed to call ): !! I also was worried about not making it to graduation, idk where you live but spirit has right now some REALLY great prices! i got my ticket from Florida to GL for 117 round trip! you should check it out (: !! if you need anyone to talk you got me! theres nothing worse than feeling like your going through this alone! but just remember you aren't I'm here along with every other girlfriend/ wife/ fiancee etc missing their SR <3

My boyfriend is ship 09/206. I live in Maine. My dad was going to drive down but he thought airplane would be easier. I've never been on an airplane before so I'm kinda scared. I'll look into the spirit thing right now! I know we can get a nice hotel for 260 dollars for three nights so that's not the problem, it was the airplane tickets that was killing us haha.

Yeah you have to keep checking the prices ! they change constantly!! I was on it for about 2 weeks before the prices dropped! and they dropped like crazy!! We booked a hotel for $200.38 less than a mile away from the base for 3 nights! so you can find really good deals everywhere you just have to click through a few pages (: ! and if you call and ask for the military rate because you r going to the graduation, they usually make it even cheaper!

Oh wow! Yeah the airline that you told me about doesn't have an airport close to me. My dad won't want to travel to Boston after everything that has happened down there. And we want a hotel near the base so we dont have to drive too far. Ive been looking on the Kayak airline prices too. But they all say flying out of Boston is the cheapest way.
