Girls it is really hard when they are in boot and you have no idea when to expect a call or a letter, but I promise it is all worth it. I had PIR a little over a week ago and seeing my hubby was amazing. I shook so bad and he just kept saying it's ok I'm right here. Just know that they do love you and they miss you just as much as you miss them.

I had a bad day today too. It was one of those everything days where everything reminded me of him and it made me cry. Not having him to remind me how many months we been together TODAY sucked. Not that i dont know but it was just cute how he would text me at midnight right when it was the 28th and tell me. So since last night i just been really sad. I try to keep reminding myself that one more month and ill finally see him. I started a list of things i need/want to pack for the weekend to keep myself somewhat busy and to make sure i dont forget anything.

Hey girls I dont know why but today seemed so hard to gasp... Im missing my bf sooooo much!!! I tried everything to distract myself even washing the car by myself which I hated to do.. Then I tried to go shopping cuz that was one thing he hated to do the most with me, but no It just made me miss him more to see couples walking hand in hand together.. Ughhh sorry for being emo here.. Thankfully tomorrow is already March, one more month till PIR. You guys are all so brave, I admire every single one of you :)

YuliaAnn-Thats GREAT i cant wait until my countdown reaches 4 days lol. I bet your super excited. Im very happy for you I can just imagine how you feel.
I always thought long distance relationships never worked and that people were stupid for being in one CRAZY huh? i guess i just never fell in love the way i am now and i was never put in the situation myself. Now i dont judge anyone in a long distance relationship. I actually learned that the distance brings you closer together and makes you appreciate that person more.

Congrats YuliaAnn i bet your still walking on th clouds lol its so amazing to finally hear their voice.
Congrats AllieNJ sounds great. Being apart is so sad but the love you get back in those little moments together makes everything feel ok. I havent seen my bf yet since he left but his call meant the world to me.
Thanks Cp7 i try to understand its just so hard to hear people telling me they miss their bfs that they saw yesterday like be a little considerate for my feelings i havent seen my bf in a month. But i guess i have to be understanding that their pain is just as valid Thanks alot or that comment. I defenatly look at my relationship in a positive way and me and my bf talked about it before he left hoe much more thankful were gonna be for each other after being apart and if we can survive this than it will show how strong and true our love is.
