Thats awesome he came and surprised you!! Thats really exciting and i know what you mean adjusting to them being gone again is the weirdest feeling, i hope its not too long til you see him next!! .. i miss my guy soo much already and he hasnt even been gone for 10 days yet since i saw him! i went down to virginia to visit my guy for the week a little after christmas.. our holidays didnt turn out so well his father and step mom passed away on new years so we both flew back the next day and had a lot to deal with... i cant imagine how hard that must have been on him but i was there trying to support him every step of the way he left the 14th with still a lot on his mind, and ive just been talking to him everyday hoping that things will get easier on him. I made the decision to move down there so middle of february were going to be living together off base!! i'm so excited and i hope it'll make things easier for the both of us, it was a hard decision to make, leaving home, but i love him so much i can't stand being away from him more than i have to be! I hope everythings still going good with you, and I know its hard being apart, if you need anything let me know!! It's nice catching up with you girl!
Hey girl! Sorry its been so long since I've replied. Its been a crazy couple of weeks. Zack graduated and it was amazing seeing him! I only got to spend one day with him but I loved every minute of it. He's in Connecticut now and I'm going to see him during my spring break I'm so excited! How have you been?
I wish I could just cuddle with him all day but our parents are going to be there, so we will probably have very little alone time. And from what I heard sailors aren't allowed to even hold hands with their girlfriends in public and if another sailor sees them then they get reported and punished when they get back on base. I think that's just weird. Haha. But I will definitely try to take a lot of pictures. I thought about ice skating since we both love it.
My New Years was okay. It would have been nice to have Zack here to share it with me haha. I'm glad you guys had a great New Years. I am very very excited. I think I will have fun. I just wish he wasn't leaving for Connecticut the next day. But I'm glad we get to talk more. :) I'm very excited for this trip. Do you have any suggestions on what to do while we're there?
Thank you! And I'm here for you too. I'm not as good with advice as you are but I will certainly try. Make the best of tonight. I know you're probably not looking forward to seeing him go but at least you have more communication now. And pretty soon you guys will be together again. :) My journey to Chicago begins Wednesday, I'm getting nervous about seeing him again. I hope you and Alan had a great New Years. Tell him thank you for being a sailor.
Aww haha you're so lucky! I wish I could see Zack. It's driving me crazy! His mom went up there for Christmas and spent the day with him. I am glad he got to call me and text me but it still wasn't enough. I cried during our last phone call and I feel so bad because I'm sure it made him feel bad. I just keep reminding myself that its only 11 more days till I see him again. I hope you enjoy your time with Alan, I'm sure you will. I hope you guys had a great Christmas also.
Yeah haha. I know the feeling. I told Zack im putting myself through this because I love him haha. He has to do sub school and a school so he will probably be there for a year also.
So he didn't get to call but I did get a letter. He will be on the sub working on the sonar. They said its one of the top three jobs in the navy. What will Alan be doing?
I wrote about 13 letters to him already idk on witch one i mest up on but ur right i should do that to him . Thanks for the idea, I was planing on doing that but i didnt know u where aloud to do that. Im send one today just in case and letting him know what happen with the other letters.
Lol Girl i just finished writing a letter and Idk what made me check the address and I just found out ive been writing the address wrong just by one number. It was 3515 not 3315. Im so sad that The letters may get returned to me and dont get to him.
