Then the sun begins to shine....


I know this title is ironic because of the recent snow and crappy weather in Iowa. Stay with me though...I'll explain. Two days ago Thune mentioned in short that 12 guys from his unit here in Iowa are getting deployed to Iraq for a year. He has no chance of going, because he is part of a unit in Kentucky (that's how the army does deploying, yeah-it's retarded). They either deploy as an entire unit, or switch the units and deploy with that unit. Anywho, basically this mean that if my little man were here in Iowa, he'd be going to Iraq right now. Two of the 12 that are going are new fathers, and both are engaged but not married-I do believe. I have never been so ecstatic that he's in Washington. God knows how much I can handle obviously, because while I'm learning to deal with him being in Washington, Iraq would probably spark an emotional breakdown on my part. I'm glad he doesn't trust me that much, because I don't trust me that much either.

I've been literally saying thank you God for the last few days. What an amazing blessing that he's not at home. Kind of ironic considering I declared myself as being agnostic in the religion department. I know there's something out there....just not sure what.

Anyhow, school has been going well. I've hit that "semester's almost over lack of motivation," and this is really the first time I've ever experienced it. I just feel like I need to graduate and move on with life, I'm tired of this school crap. Bring on the degree.... Weight Watchers is going awesomely, I'm 2.4 away from my goal which means I'll hit maintenance shortly after Thanksgiving. Yeah, bad timing on my part. But, whatever. Bring it on....I can handle it. Words don't describe how excited that I am to almost be there....and how great I feel healthwise. Fun stuff :)

Thune comes home in one month and 18 days. Can't wait.....I love him more than life itself, I believe. I can't wait to have him back here, but I shall have to wait anyhow.

Anyhow, that's all. I'm sorry that I've been crap with updates. I'm just tired....and not wanting to deal with computers and updates when I do have free time. I love you all, but my sanity and laziness are priorities :) Have a g'night all :)
