Finally, A Day Off!

Today has been pretty good :) I didn't have to work,although I still got called this morning and asked questions. I don't mind though, I was happy I didn't sleep all day. I got a letter from B. Monday, he hadn't gotten any of my letters at the time when he wrote me...it made me sad, I don't want him to think I have forgotten about him here, that is faaar from the truth. I got another letter from him today though, and he had gotten one of my letters, finally, (i've written a bunch!) and he was happy...I guess my letter had asked what our status was. We didn't have much time before he left and our time together was hurried, but we are def. dating, so I am happy! It is almost time for him to graduate, I am counting down the days!

So now I am at my parents, waiting for sister to get here so we can go swimming and lay out. I am such a bad influence. She is at work and I called and was like hey, are you feeling good, maybe you should leave and come go swimming with me...lol, so she said she would leave at 3 p.m. It's about 2 :40 p.m. now, so I should have to wait much longer. It is such a pretty day today, and it's not terribly hot either, amazing. I stepped outside, expecting to nearly drown in the humidity, and I was so suprised, the air was wonderful! (The heat has been ridiculous lately.) Well, I guess that's it for now, here's a pic of my sis and I! She is my all time best friend. She's six years younger, but I seriously couldn't imagine life without her, even though sometimes we get on each others nerves, that's normal. Hope everyone had a great day!
(She's the one on the right :)

Why do my thoughts constantly drift to him?

It's Sunday! Which makes me happy because I know he get's to write me today :) Wednesday will be even better because I will get his letter! I hate having to wait forever to hear from him, but it's so great to write letters. I have all these written words of how he feels and what he thinks...and in this world today I think that is rare. We all depend heavily on technology to communicate and I think the written word gets lost somewhere in there. I always like to think that I will have these letters to show my children one day, unlike text messages and phone calls. Now, don't get me wrong, everyday I wish my phone would ring and it would be B., but it's nice to have this time. I think that it has shown me something that I might not have seen before. I found a quote I really liked.

"Absense diminishes small love, and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire."

I think it's true. I can't help but to think that this situation is what has really brought us together and shown us just how important we are to each other. I am nervous about "A" school. I keep telling him that if he thinks he wants to change his mind about us, he can, I feel bad since he is so much younger than me. (5 years) I just think about everything that happened to me during 21 to 26 and I hope he doesn't feel like he's missing out on anything. I guess time will tell, we are just going to take one day at a time. If anyone has any advice on this, I would greatly appreciate it! I probably just worry toooo much...but it's hard when you never get to see them, as i'm sure many of you know.

Well, work keeps me super busy, so I am distracted throughout the day which is a good thing :) And I hafta move from my apartment before this Wednesday. My sister and I just aren't happy there, so we are moving back in with our parents, (yea, I can't believe that either), for the moment til we can figure out what we want to do. I haven't even started packing yet!!!! About to go home right now and start, fun fun! Well, hope everyone has a SuPeR dAy!!

P.S. I am sooo new to this blog thing, any ideas or suggestions on how I can make it super cute, I would be forever grateful!! I'm a little lost :)

Adele - Chasing Pavements

I've always thought this video and song was kind of beautiful and unique...I haven't thought about it in awhile, but found it tonight when I was wondering around...just thought i'd share...

A few Random Thoughts...

I wish B. could come home after basic, even if it was just for a little bit. I am amazed really, every since my last relationship I have stayed away from relationships, I was scared to even try again. But now, something has happened and I am just crazy about B. I don't know how or when it happened, it just kinda occured overnight, and I love it. I am so blessed, I am so excited to see what will happen in our future together, but I am just taking it one day at a time and enjoying every little moment in our relationship. But sometimes I want to just scream from the top of a mountain, I am bubbling over with joy and it is such a great feeling. Ahhh, how boring this must be...lol, i'm sorry, I must sound like a lovesick puppy, but I am just happy and I just don't feel like anyone really understands... I am excited that I will hopefully get to talk to him soon, it will be wonderful to hear his voice again. It just feels like it's been so long, I mean yea it's only been like a month and a half since we've talked, but it seems like much longer. O well..this is short I know, but I am exhausted, had to work a 12 hour day, but I just needed to talk for a bit...Good Night!!

I Never Would Have Dreamed....

Hi everyone! Well, I am new to the blogging world, as you can probably tell from my blog soooo far! Don't worry, I'm sure I will catch on soon and I will def. customize more later... I have been reading so many peoples stories on here the past week, I just wanted to jump right in! I have so much to say, I don't even know really where to start, but here I go....
So, a little about myself. My name is Tiffany, I am 25 years old, and I am slowly, but very surely falling in love with a soon to be sailor. Our story. We met years ago, we use to work together. I never thought twice about him then, he was like 17 and I was 22. We were friends and both were in relationships. He was still in high school, dealing with the high school drama, and I was in college dealing with the college drama. I left that little town in the middle of my last semester of college when my live in boyfriend and I broke up...we tried to live together broken up, yea that DOESN'T work, lol. Eventually other girls started to come see him and we made each other miserable. So I left town and moved to another city and created another life. Fast forward nearly two years. So I was on facebook a couple of months ago, and B. popped up and asked me if we could hang out one day when he got to visit home from the Navy. (He was leaving for basic in two weeks or so). I didn't think twice about it really, but I was like "Sure, sounds great!" lol, and that's how it all started. We exchanged phone numbers, a ton of text messages, and hours of late night hours on the phone before he left for basic. He also came to visit me, we went to see a movie and he never let go of my hand... The night before he left for Chicago, he actually had to spend the night in the city I live in...his hotel was about 5 min from my apartment, so we got to see each other that night too...suddenly there were butterflies where there use to be nothing. I was freaked, but strangely happy.
Since he has left, I think I have written him everyday. Every Wednesday I can't wait to get a letter from him...he graduates soon and will be going to A school in South Carolina, so at least we will get to talk then, although I have enjoyed writing him letters and getting letters! I miss his voice... I was hesitant to do this blog, I don't want to jinx us...but we've talked and I think this is going to go far. We just feel that God has a hand in me and him meeting again...there's a reason for everything. I have read so many blogs about women married to men in the military and I have to admit, before this, I had never really thought about that before. I had never thought about being married to a military man, living the military life...so the past week I started doing a lot of research and what I have found is this whole network of women who support each other, who are there for one another...women who have become friends. I guess I am just trying to prepare myself as much as I can for this lifestyle that I may very well be living in the next year or so... I know this will be hard and I know that I will miss him so much when he's working. I have talked to a lot of my friends about this and they think I am crazy. It's not a life many women want, and B. has told me numerous times that he would understand if I chose to walk away and find another man to love who can be there for me all the time. But, i've thought a lot about it and our connection is getting stronger everyday that passes...and I would , hands down, rather live in a world where I would get to have him some of the time, than live in one without him in it at all...so I have made my choice and I stand by it and I will stand by my Sailor through his career...it's just beginning and it's going to be one heck of a ride, i'm sure, but i've got my seatbelt on and i'm ready!
