Hey i do remember you. I been pretty good. Im not a navy gf anymore but i still get on here every once in a while. How have you been? Hows your bf doing?
Well i didnt go visit my bf because we had a family emergency i had to cancel my flight =(. But the a week later we broke up. Im planning on joining the navy soon and he is nt being supportive and im doing it regardless of what he says. But things are going pretty good i have alot keeping me busy i guess. How are you doing?
I really hope they dont kick me out but if the do my bf's mom told me i can come live at her house. So i have a place to go im not too scared about that. I bought my ticket already im going the weekend of june 4th. I cant wait i just hope everything goes good. Ill keep you in my prayers too i know its hard because i want my parents to support my decisions and have their approval in everything do but sometimes you gotta do things the hard way. It sucks and it hurts but with time things get better. Just hope for the best and hopfully they support you with your wedding plans im sure they will though.
Yea im superrr scared to tell my parents im going to see my bf regardless of what they say. I bought my ticket already and they have no idea im going to tell them a few days before my leave date. Its crazy but i gotta do what i gotta do cause their never going to letme grow up. I figured the worst is that they will kick me out so i already have a place to go incase it gets to that.
WOW well im sure they're not gonna disown you they will probably be upset but when it comes down to it your an adult and eventually their gonna have to accept that. Which is the problem im having. If you want to get married and he wants to too you just have to sit with your parents and talk to them and let them know how you feel. When they see that you made up your mind and your going to do it regardless they will start to support you because Im sure they want to be a part of your wedding. Its hard but its all a proccess.
No their not letting me =( but im not giving up lol. Im really considering moving out i dont want to but if thats what i have to do for my parents to let me grown up then i might just do it. It so depressing because i want to see him so bad. Your almost 19 and your parents wont let you date??
WOW. Well atleast my parents are fine with me dating him that sucks your parents dontwant you dating. Im 20 years old but i get treated like im 16. How old are you?
No my parents are being really stubborn they wont let me see go see him. But im not giving up lol i think im just going to end up going anyway i dont know what to do. Are yor parents going to let you see him?
Thats good you get to talk. Yea their schedules are pretty tight so i dnt ask for too much attention. Hes always studying or something during the week. I miss him soo much and i wanna visit him so bad but uughh living with my parents thats gonna be impossible. lol
Yea A School is SOOOO much better than BC lol. He texts me on his breaks and calls me almost everyday. I try not to bother him too much though cause i know hes busy and he studies ALOT. I want to go visit him sometime this month but im havig troubl with that =(. How are you doing? Do you talk alot?
Yeah im gunna be going to school in PA next year, so hopefully he gets Virginia because that isn't that far away. I turn 18 in may :)
Umm they normally get 2 weeks of leave after A School so he'll be home around October or so we're thinking but I might be visiting in mayy
It will all be worth it when you see him, he is missing you terribly too, it's a really great weekend
No, I'm actually pretty young so we aren't getting married for a while
Are you far away from Chicago?
My sailor's A School is in FL and I live in NY, so we're pretty far away
