Thankful

I am so glad we finally have less then two months left apart. It's like I've been in a long distance race and I can finally see the finish line. Time does seem to be dragging when I do wish it would speed up and bring Adam home! Less than two weeks of school left than there is spring break. I'm planning to go home and have some much needed family time for a lil over a week. I'm hoping I can pick up some jobs the second half of April since some of the traditional schools will be back in session. When schools go back in May I will be taking over a 3rd grade class for the rest of the year (three months). I'm a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Adam is coming home at the best time, I will need his support the most since I will have a lot to do for the class and then of course there are the crazy dogs. I've been having a difficult time with Buster since he's at least 85 pounds and I just don't know what to do anymore. He's extremely protective of me and thinks everyone else is a threat so I'm hoping that Adam coming home will make him realize it's ok to be a dog and not a constant protector. I learned my lesson and will never have two dogs around the same age again! They just feed off of each other and it is such a challenge to get them under control! I am so glad Adam will be home soon to share all this craziness! I just don't think I would keep my sanity much longer if he weren't coming home soon!

Tired

Adam and I have a little over two months until he comes home and I just can't wait! I've been having dog issues yet again and at times I find them a little overwhelming. I can't wait to have my best friend here to help me. I'm so excited to finally be able to spend a summer with Adam since we haven't had one together since we first met. I will be working up until July but will hopefully have time on the weekends for outings. The month of August will be wonderful since we get to spend it together and will be going back east for one of Adam's cousins weddings. I am so excited that we are so close to being together again but I wish I could speed up time. I will be happy to get through the month of March since April will be slow and of course there is spring break which I am planning to travel home to visit my family. May will bring Adam as well as the challenge of a 3rd grade class that I will be subbing for until the end of July. Right now I feel like I am just trying to get through and hang on. I miss Adam and our closeness terribly but am happy that we are almost through with this misery...

Sunshine Through The Clouds

So, the house is getting better. All the moldy carpet has been ripped out but has not been replaced yet so I cannot use that room and it echos and awful lot. Today was a good day! The 5th graders I had were fun to be with which made the day great! At the gym we took measurements and found out how many inches and where I lost them yay! I also got lovely flowers from my wonderful boyfriend which made me feel oh so loved! Today, Adam also found out he got the billet for survival training instructor here in San Diego. So this means we will be here for three more years at least which is good for both of our careers. We have 79 days left of deployment and I can't wait until Adam comes home. We are going to move to a nicer house, one we can hopefully stay in for the next three years. Anyways I just wanted to share my happy mood since they seem to be far and in between all the bad days! Yay for good days!!!
