06.22.

Oh boy. It has sure been quite a week – quite a long week at that. Thankfully the weekend is finally here and I have the next two days to myself to do whatever I please.
Today seemed even longer than usual. This has been the first birthday in five years that I have not been able to spend the day with C.. Today he turned 24. C’s birthday is always a memorable day for me, not only because it is his birthday, but also because I met C. on his birthday. Five years ago today I had the pleasure of meeting the love of my life, my best friend. So much has changed in the past five years and thankfully, I would not change a thing. I am so proud of the man he has grown to be. Happy Birthday, Airman. Only 41 days until we can celebrate it together! 🙂

(C. & I five years ago!)

On a roll

It seems that it is time for yet another optimistic update! I am loving all of these good vibes lately. As of today, there are only 45 days left until I see C. again. He has officially completed the first quarter of Basis Military Training!

I also wrote my first letter to C. It is honestly quite sad to see how terribly my handwriting has diminished since graduating a few years ago. I should have probably enclosed some sort of key to my sloppy cursive-print chicken scratch that way C may actually be able to read it whenever he receives it.

Over the weekend I ordered C’s birthday present. His Rolex was stolen last New Years and he has been practically begging for a new watch ever since. With everything that has happened over the past few months, there was just no way I could afford to buy him a new watch. So yesterday I finally found a watch I knew he would love. It is no Rolex by any means, but I think he will love it. I cannot believe he will be 24 in four short days. I wish I could be in Texas to spend the day with him.

I also decided that it was time to get rid of the leopard print “fearless” decal on the back of my car. In order to symbolize our new lives together I decided to add a lovely new Air Force decal on the bottom right corner of my back window. The sticker I bought actually said “U.S. Air Force Wife,” but I have no intentions on jumping the gun. I cut off the “wife” section and stuck it in my make-up drawer. Luckily, I will add it without hesitation in only 103 days! However, I have a feeling that adding the decal to my window will not be at the top of my to-do list nearly 100 days from now. But then again, you never know.
