Well ladies, we broke up. I think I broke up with him, or maybe it was mutual, I don't know. He started freaking out on me and comparing me to 2 of his exes, and I won't stand to be compared to that, when i'm nothing like them. He said I needed to "compose myself" which I was extremely composed all week, friday we had a fight and I made it known how upset I was. He said he loved me, but didn't love me the same, and didn't know if he could love me the same as he did before the break up. I told him I was sick of I don't knows, and let me thinks. I can't keep being drug around like this, not knowing if i'm wanted by him. I told him I told myself that if we got into the situation of a break up again, I would walk away. That if he wanted me back, ever. He would have to fight like hell for me. That he needed to prove that crap wouldn't happen again. It wasn't at all fair to me. I told him I was done. That I hoped we could remain close friends, but I was done being the only one fighting for our relationship, and I was done being yelled at for everything that I didn't do. That I was just plain done. I can't be waiting around no matter how much I love, and care about him- for a guy. I just can't. Can't put my life on hold for it. He apologized for comparing me to his exes, and said he said it out of anger, and I took his apology. He sounded like he was going to cry, and when I asked he said "don't worry about it". I don't think he ever thought I would have the back bone to end it. But I can't let myself be treated like that, and I can't put myself through being yelled at weekly by him for absolutely no reason. It's not fair to me. Just thought i'd inform you all of what happened. Now it's time to move forward and reach my dream. If he wants me badly enough, he will prove it.

I have no clue when boot will be. It depends on how backed up everything is, October will be the soonest I could leave though.

Well, just got bad news from Gaige. They're jipping him on leave for T-TRACK and stand down:( They're smooshing them together, no leave for him in november for t-track, and earliest he can get leave in december is december 16th...TWO, yes TWO days AFTER my birthday! im super upset because we thought he'd be able to get leave for my birthday. It sucks, I know he can't do anything about it, it just sucks having had looked forward to him being my birthday present. My hunny coming home, y'know? We found out that, and that sucked. He just told me a bit ago. Now he's in studying, he's irritated about something, so maybe when he's done he'll say what and i'll be able to make him feel a little better.
I don't see why they wouldn't want to cook their thanksgiving, more food, cheaper, just how you like it!
If we were going down there for thanksgiving I was going to have gaige get a bunch of friends togethere who couldnt leave for t-giving and cook for them all and that way they could bond and all of that. I thought it'd be kinda fun, but we ended up opting for veterans day. But if all goes well, i'll be moving in june, and there for the next one, if im sure a bunch of people would be over for that. :)

Hope everyone has had a good week so far, been a tad chilly in the midwest, fall is setting in:) Gaige and I are doing great! He says everything is back to how it should be, and all of what bothered him for the time we were apart was pretty much because we were apart, and now that we're back together, it's all gone away. Crazy!:p I'm sending him a care package down tomorrow, for our 7 month anniversary on tuesday(the 20th!) crazy to think that it's been 7 months!!! 200 something days that we've been together, over half a year. It's kinda mindblowing to me, since he's my longest relationship, and i'm his. He might get to come home while he's on T-TRACK once he grads a school in november, so he might get to come home with me!!! eeeep! he's taking me to build-a-bear so I can get one, put 2 hearts in it, one for each of us, have him do a special recording so I can listen to it when I miss him, and dress it like a sailor!:) I looooove the idea of it! My grandma has been out of town since sunday, so i've been taking care of the house and it looks pretty dang good. I cleaned everything so she'll be able to relax when she gets home tomorrow.
Hope you're all doing well! RSL!

Corie- Welcome back! Nice to see you again.
Nicole- Congrats! I am so happy for you. Sounds like his family has also gotten rid of whatever was bothering them about you. Glad you can all communicate and spend time together again.
Mary- That is so funny about your dog. Not sure I would have the same sense of humor of being peed on by a dog.
Iris- Hope you and Haley are having tons of fun in Hawaii.

Yay! Corie is going to be around more.
Yay! Nicole is back with Gaige. Sweet news.Yay! Mary's daughter is in total charge of her life and knows what she wants to do at such a young age. Yay! that Mary has us to help her through the coming year and a half and beyond. Boo on those dreams though that wake us up and seem so real. Yay! that Mary has one more kid after Morgan so she does have to face the empty nest even when she leaves for Air Force boot camp.
Yay! that Iris is soaking up the sun, soaking up the tropical drinks, soaking up her daughter's presence and smile! Go Sunshine Girl! RSL!
