I guess you can say I'm Back...

On July 10, 2008, my husband, the love of my life left to Afghanistan. My parents, little sister, his mother, little brother and I drove down to Ft. Hood so that we could spend the day together. It went really well. We got there around 10:30am and ate lunch together around 11. My mom made him pupusas, which he loves. and the night before my dad went to the mexican bakery to buy him some sweet bread, which he also loves. It was hard. So hard to keep my emotions throughout that day. I did well though. As the day went by, it was finally time to go into the Gym in where we would have to stay and wait with theym until it was time to get onto the buses. And yes that time came...they anounced that they had 10 mins left...so naturally I started to get sooo many emotions all at once. Then they said we had just a few more mins and to say our goodbyes....that is when i let it all out..and so did he...it was so hard...he said that he wanted me to be the last person he would hug...so i waited for everyone else to say their goodbyes and then it was my turn...everytime i think to that moment, i just start to cry...like i am right now... They then got into formation and got onto the buses. As the bus left, I felt as if my whole world was leaving.

It has not been easy...the first few days were very hard. it has been 26 days since i last hugged, or kissed my husband...and i miss him very much. I thought that i was doing okay in dealing with this...but im not...especially not in the past few days. I had been doing okay...i was dealing with it pretty well....but i keep thinking about him, wondering how he's doing, constant...IT SUCKS! It sucks to know that the love of your life is gone half way around the world...and not for vacation but for our country...it sucks yes, but at the same time i feel VERY proud to be his wife. He makes me soo proud of him

He has been able to call me...he tries to call me everyday..there are days that he cant and i understand that. But i am very gratefull to God that we have been able to have that sort of communication..otherwise, i dont know how i would be dealing with this... He does have it had though. The company he is in now, is not his original company. He was with HHC in the beginning but volunteered to be the communications guy for Delta company because they had none. So he is now the ONLY communications guy at his location..but im pretty sure he will do just fine..

Soo here are a few pictures from that day...

OUCH!!!

So my youngest sister and I have this little game we play. And its consits of running. Whenever the phone rings, we have a little "race", in the narrow hallway, to see who gets to the phone first. NOT A GOOD IDEA.

So I WAS winning the "race" up until I hit my pinkie toe and the toe right next to it on my right leg against the edge of the wall...did I mention I was running FULL SPEED!! (well I was) And that's when my victorious run ended. I twisted and turned in pain on the couch for about what seemed for ever (it was only for about 5min). My poor little sister ran to the freezer and grabbed a bunch of ice and offered to place it gently on my painful toes. What did i respond to her, " DON'T TOUCH ME!!!"

Poor thing, I didn't mean to be sooo mean towards her. I was in pain and wasn't thinking.

So I wasn't able to go to work yesterday or today because of my injury. My toes are different shades of purple and its hurts sooo bad when I try to walk normal. My cousin lend me his crutches until I'm able to see the Dr. It funny because he's a rocker dude, and his crutches has all of these Slipknot bumper stickers, people look at me funny because of that.

I felt bad for the way I reacted towards my little sister, so my amor and I treated her to burgers at Twisted Root. BEST BURGERS I've ever had. And we also took her to see the new Pixar movie WALL*E.

"Walking" on crutches is VERY painful and EXTREMELY exhausting. And I know I will be sore in the morning. Well its time for me to cuddle next to my husband. Goodnight or is it Good morning? What does 2am count as? Let me know. =)

Oh by the way, who was on the other end of that phone call you may ask.....it was a NOBODY!

GOODNIGHT!!

Hello World!


Well this is the first time I've ever blogged. My friend from middle school is the one who has pretty much inspired me to blog. That and the fact that I need a place to pretty much vent.

I recently got married to the love of my life. His name is Marco and is active in the US Army. Yep that's right, I am now married to the military. I've only been married for 1month 1week and 4days, and I'm loving it. What I am not loving, is that my now husband has to be gone half way around the world for over a year. He will be missing his birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentines...you get the point. For the first year plus of our marriage, my husband will be gone. I've gotten so use to the fact that I am a married woman, and two months into it, I have to live like if I wasn't.

The good thing about it is that i will be living surrounded by people that love me and will be there for my when I need it.

It sucks yes, but until his deployment comes I will be enjoying every moment that I will get to spend with him, even though its only when he comes home for the weekend.
