Deployment Day Countdown: ~152

Wow it's gone fast. Surprisingly. I wish I could write a guide for women going through what I am going through. It's all about your attitude. Deployment doesn't have to be hard. You control your own emotions. Some days it feels totally unfair that no matter how badly I want to contact him, I just cannot. I have to wait for him. Every time it feels like it will be forever until he calls again, he does. After some turbulence, a near breakup to be exact, we are back on track. I forgot that I am not the only one who needs reminding. Reminding him how much I love and appreciate him is important. He is going through a lot of change and my goal, besides keeping myself happy, is to be his constant. I hope he feels like my support has gotten him through the tough stuff. His leave dates have changed and been pushed back, but we can do it! Every day I get closer to seeing him. I get butterflies just thinking about the hug and the first kiss. That feeling keeps me going

I love you Ben Gordon.


We're almost done!!!!

Interior

I talked and talked and talked about what I would do with my room at my new house. It's December now and it's not seen a lot of action. I have plain white walls and it's just a mish-mash of things. I stumbled upon some pictures on lark + linen from awhile back that have me thinking... I should feng-shui, rearrage, paint, etc.

I like that brown and the glass dome (?) cute touch over a plant

Somehow I am a sucker for antlers

Our house was recently painted but due to the bad timing (FINALS WEEK) I asked them to skip my bedroom. No need for paint fumes fogging my concentration or causing migraines. So, I now really want to paint it myself. I wouldn't pick anything that would disgust the landlord but it wouldn't be boring white. Of that I am certain.

Things I need to add:
1. Desk -> paint job
2. Fur throw
3. Antlers
4. Paint

Just thoughts now...

Hiatus

After a hiatus of 2+ months...I'm back! And I am a new girl. Kind of...

I graduated college. I know its an accomplishment but I am more or less sad. I am sad that I won't be able to take classes and keep refining my skills. Maybe after some relaxation I will be more excited about this milestone.

As for now just work and hobbies. Talking to boyfriend, going out to eat, napping, etc.

Goals for the new year aka New Years Resolutions:

1. Gym membership
2. Take dance classes (boyfriend bought me a pass )
3. Read
4. Learn to cook new things/try new restaurants
5. Keep up with this here blog...

Seems like a solid list to me. Hopefully I can follow through.

Heading home for the Holiday! Awaiting the arrival of my package to the boyfriend over there.. hoping he loves it!
