the week is flying by! thankfully!

J. comes home for Easter on Friday and it's literally like all i can freakin think about I am so so excited! I can only hope the next few days fly by just as fast, since i'm working on the cardiac floor Wed and Thur i think i will be at the airport on Friday in no time =) BTW i am TOTALLY feeling for Sandra Bullock, what the hell is going on with marriages lately?  i love how one of the women blogged that she is "not responsible for ruining anyone's marriage that ruining  a marriage is on the married person"  uhhhhh lady it takes 2 to tango, and yes jesse james is a total dirt bag, but you are equally a piece of trash! barf! -K.

Wedding Bells

So to my utter surprise last night i told my dad about J. and I eloping in about 6 weeks and not only was he completely supportive but thought it was a great idea! ( we are still have our "big wedding" May 2011) Oh, and my day got better yesterday, we talked through (mainly my) struggles with this distance crap, i'm not niaeve (sp) enough to say that there wont be more tough times ahead, i just had no clue how much distance would take its toll on me! yay for better days though =)  -K.

typing through tears!

NOT a good day for the fiance and I! UGH, SO ready for things to get better!

BLEH...

i dunno today is a little ugh bleh for me. J. is so freakin busy today and i am so... not, so i feel neglected! =( i know its not his fault, and i know i'm not the only one that feels like this just needed to pout and whine today! i have to study all weekend for a Monday test so i am sure there will be more vents to come! haha excuse my negative nature today ladies-K.

feeling mega support!

alright i gotta say today i'm feeling super! i feel mega support of my fellow milspouses, something about knowing other women feel your pain & your joys is very comforting! thank you all, you each have a special place in my heart though i have never met many of you- its a special bond!

day by day.... by day

Have you ever noticed (those of you who are also doing/ have done distance) that some days you go along just fine, you stay busy, you feel happy...things just go right. And then there are those days where it feels the time is CREEPING, you feel so lonely, so insecure, like you have no clue how you will get by? the pain of the emotional distance rollercoaster is not only felt by me, but also by my marine. I'm sure at times he thinks "what the crap? you were fine yesterday?" but the unfortunate truth is there will be good days, there will even be great days, but there will also be terrible days. Today i am having a good day- last night, not so good. Suddenly i became the most overwhelmed and insecure person, no clue what brought it on? But i do realize the more time that goes by the more sensitive i become. The key is too stay busy!! keeping my mind entertained has become a God-send! Just thought i would state the obvious today- distance sux! -K.

progress!

still feeling bleh, BUT on the up side i went to class today!...apparently i was feeling overly productive because i also started my scrapbook, loving it! since J has been gone i have gotten into so many new hobbies to fill the time! J. switched units today, I think he is finding it hard to get used to their schedule, he seems bummed but i'm hoping it will be best until his ankle heals! all-in-all busy, but productive day! tomorrow is my first day at the new hospital, exciting! -K.

gotta get motivated!

I hate the feeling of missing class,it makes me feel guilty & like a bum! Truth be told i probably COULD have gone, but feeling like total crap was enough for me to stay home, grrr gotta get motivated! So today my plan is to study study study! Gonna make the most of my time maybe then a will feel productive! Thank you to the sweet ladies who sent their positive thoughts my way!

Thank you Mr.

Ok so I talked to my honey when he woke up this morning! Feeling so much better! It's easy to become overly sensitive when you miss someone so much! BUT good news- my honey comes home for 3 days in a mere 10 days! YAY! just the thought of feeling his arms around me gives me butterflies! Flu symptoms are kicking my butt though! grrr -K.

Are you kidding me?

As a warning this post will be a bit of a vent, I woke up with flu like symptoms & barely got a wink of sleep! icing on the cake J. made me so upset last night! He is always saying things like that he misses me so much he feels like crying and etc, but last night i got all of 5 texts, he never called or anything? It's just so disheartening bc I feel like i rarely hear from him, other than text messages, and if he misses me so much I can't understand why he doesn't call more often? Now i realize the more time that goes by that we are apart the more sensitive i get, but I just wish he would make more of an effort! And I would've called but he was hanging out in the barracks with his guy friends and I just feel like he should be able to set aside a little time for me? Feel free to tell me if i am being irrational! but UGH! ps- still have to do laundry ha -K.

My VERY FIRST!

Ok this is my first "blog" ever, I am totally new so bare with me if I suck at it! I am 25 and in nursing school, my better half is 26, a Marine, and easily the most amazing person I know. Yes, I am one of those people who is consumed by LOVE! Right now we are 14 hours away from each other, and yes distance is a B*TCH! But I can honestly say I think we do an amazing job at it, of course there will be bumps when you can't see and hold the thing you love most in the world, we battle mis-communication, juggling schedules, and separation anxiety but I can honestly say everyday, every second he is worth it!
