Not long, a week today, but its killing me! ha No communication is what is killing me. I can do long distance with communication but I'm dying. We got his address today, so I'm really excited about sending him his letters. I've been writing one everyday since he's left.
I love kids too! I am working at my churches preschool his summer so that will be really good for me. Right now, school is really the only thing that is distracting me, and I don't like school so its not really a big help. I only have about 5 weeks of schooling left though. Being around my family and his family I think will really help this summer.
How long as your guy been gone? What does he want to do?
thanks for the add!! Hope all is well. feel free to ask questions of message me if your ever having a bad day. My boyfriend went through boot camp back in the fall so I have somewhat of a fresh take on what to expect if you ever have any questions.
Well his call came. But he had called his mom and only had 15 mins to talk. So I didn't get to talk to him :'( worst thing ever. She said he's doing good tho so I guess that's all that matters.
Lol very true. I do the same! Everyday haha and now that I could even get a call my phone is stuck to me and on loud lol. So I know you live like forever a way but where did you get your white pants?
Yeah I know. I'm already ready to go see him! It's gonna be amazing. But yeah he should have got your letters yesterday and as long as his division was good I'm sure you'll get a letter weds. :) and that's how I am. And I hate spending too much on clothes so that's an even bigger problem with shopping lol
I have like the cutest outfit in mind but I just gotta find it lol. How did you figure out the number of divisions?? I'm waiting for my phone call now. I talked to his mom and she said she understands I'm Probably gonna be with her alot this week just in case he calls so we can split the call that way and he doesn't have to call two different people. It's crazy waiting tho. I don't even know what in gojing to say to him! Lol I'm just gonna be so excited to hear him.
Haha well I just talked tO my boyfriends mom and she said were going to be there at 6 am and she's pretty sure you wait outside, so that dress is now out lol! I thought of a cute outfit if I can find it. She said I should dress comfy for the graduation bc of waiting and wear cute stuff the rest of the weekend but it's like I wanna look really cute for him so idk what I'm gonna do now! Lol
We have to fly in... Like a 5 hr flight from San Diego! We r staying the whole weekend too! His wife, me and my husband and his older brother is coming in from LA too! Should be interesting! Good to talk with others going thru the same kind of thing. I will add you to my nightly prayers fo sho!!! LOL!!
Haha I am exactly the same! Like I wish that the ideal outfit that comes to mind, I can just make it appear cause I'm terrible about going and find it lol. Yeah I've looked into so much. I watch the movies and stuff. I love telling people about it as well. I'm like unbelievably proud. It's awesome :)
Really?? I'll have to start shopping around lol. I'm doing the same! Been workin out alot haha. I like my outfit I have but I'm considering taking an extra just in case it's too cold. That sounds really cute tho. I can never find white pants in stores that I Like but I always love the ones I see people Wearin but can't find any lol. Idk if your the same but I love seeing the navy commercials now :) just brings a smile to my face lol
I finally found shoes for my dress! So cute. I just hope it's not too cold! But that's what I want, I'd love sweat pants but idk if they make that. Lol. He is staying in great lakes for school. What is your boyfriends job going to be?
that is the cutest thing. i just have hoodies and a bear he made when he was younger but his mom always put it on his bed for decoration. but i know what you mean i looked at some cute shirts but i cant find the perfect one. he told me not to tell his mom he told me but that if we made it thru this(which we knew we would) his mom had picked out a shirt to buy me. it just says i <3 my sailor its really cute. so if she doesnt get me that ive thought about getting my own even if its not the same exact one. and i thought about wearing it over the dress. just depends if i find one or not lol.
awe thats so cute. my parents wouldnt have allowed that. but i week before we got a hotel room to have a night to ourselves lol. it was amazing. and the swearing it was so sad. watching him get on the bus was the hardest part. but i know what you mean im always looking at stuff of his. being in his room is one of the hardest things tho just cause we were always in there. so many memories. oh i totally got a dress for his graduation like a week before he left lol. i saw it and knew it was the one. i just gotta find a little jacket (cause its a strapless dress) and i need to find shoes!
