Happy Christmas Eve, ya'll!
Today is a tad bittersweet and I have barely slept for the last few nights because we recently received news that Trip will be deploying in the near future.
What I was so excited for during the last few weeks has turned a different colour knowing that this vacation could be one of the last times we will ever see one another. I blame my overactive imagination and love of historical/romantical/war movies for making my brain automatically jump to the worst case scenario, but in any case, within a few hours I shall be en route to the airport, which means that a few hours after that, I shall be en route to Europe to see my darling! It's been 4 months (and 4 days, but who is counting...) since we have been able to enjoy an actual hug, smile, meal, hand hold, kiss, song, slow dance, hot chocolate, etc. and I literally cannot contain myself! I guess this is one of those times where you step back and remember how to really live in the moment.
... and yes... I have cried to the point where when I thought I had no more tears, I managed to squeak a few more out.
All that jazz aside, your Monday Morning Motivation is a reflection of all the scrambled, happy, scared, anxious, excited thoughts that are currently racing through my brain! Here is: Christmas, love, long distance, and the military relationship!

Amazing post!! A lot of inspiring pictures and I know exactly how you feel, although he was only my summerlove. We live miles away from each other. I live in the Netherlands and he lives in Australie. It is 3 years ago that we said goodbye. But I still think of him, at least
ReplyDeleteonce a day! Have fun with your boy, make every second count!

Do you still keep in contact at all?
DeleteI'm a soldier's wife, so I understand your feelings totally. It always sucks when they go away for so long, but believe me, if you have positive thoughts(Like thinking about what will you do together when he comes back) rather than negatives(thinking about him being in danger), time will fly by a lot faster. But stay strong!

Thank you. I needed that. Now that the initial shock of how quickly this is happening has worn off, I think I'm ready to face it a bit better than I was a few days ago! We are used to being apart for long stretches of time, but it's the whole, being in a war-zone thing that's got me terrified!
Deletecute photos :)

So far, so good. The initial shock has worn off. Trip is on base being issued combat gear and I'm sleeping off jet-lag. Bummed that this has cut into our short time together. We're supposed to be cruising the Romantic Road right now!
