hi Bryanna :) its ok, I haven't really been on either. I'm happy you got to see your sailor! Finally!!! I bet you were so happy! What did you do while you were over there? Aw I wish I can see Alan for Spring break, it just depends if I have money by that time or not. Cherish your time with him! I'm sure you have two have learned to appreciate each other the way you should. As for me, i've been good. I miss Alan, but what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger. :)
Aww he's leaving the next day right after graduation? Well there is so much to do over there, but all I wanted to do was cuddle w Alan lol. We went to the Gurnee mall which is amazing, we also went bowling and went out to eat a lot :P Just take advantage of each others company and take hecka pictures! You will have fun even if you stay at a hotel w him doing nothing I promise! hah its just the best and I feel excited for you. :)
Thank you so much. Yeah im trying to appreciate every second, and I know it will be easier now that we can call and skype :) Our new years was pretty great. How was yours? Ill deff let Alan know that. OMG you must be so excited!! Lol im excited for you! I hecka know what you mean about being a little nervous, but trust me there is no better feeling than reuniting w your sailor. I hope you enjoy PIR as much as I did!!
:) its good to know i can help you out. you're welcome. you can talk to me about whatever whenever. thank you so much! He leaves tomorrow morning.
Its good to know his mom was able to spend christmas w him and that you were able to talk to him. I know its hard and there will be plenty of sad moments, but you have to remember you're not in this alone. your sailor is going through it and worse, but I know he's strong and I know you are too. Im pretty sure he was understanding when you cried. I hope you had a merry Christmas and a happy new year. God bless you, your family and your beloved sailor! <3
