I am down to less than 2 weeks until I go on leave with my boyfriend!!! I’ll be meeting him in FL to visit with his family and friends, as well as enjoy some well-deserved vacation time. If the timing works out right, we may even be able to do a short cruise. I am so excited to be able to talk and spend time with him without struggling with the internet connection over Skype. We’ll have five days together alone before his 6-yr-old daughter arrives to join us. I am a little nervous to meet her; I really hope she likes me. It’ll be a lot of fun to meet the cutie that my boyfriend talks about so much. My life has become a lot more complicated since I met my boyfriend (with the deployment and his daughter), but I am still so happy with him in my life. I can only hope that things continue to go well with our relationship, and I will try to be as supportive as possible during the last 6 months of his deployment.
When I arrive home after two weeks of leave, I’ll have three days before my one and only sister marries the love of her life! I am very excited to be able to celebrate this occasion with her and family. I’ll be doing my Maid of Honor duties as well as visiting with family and making sure things go smoothly. Luckily my sister is not a high-stress/small-detail person. She has done the majority of the planning herself in the last six months, so we will only have minor things to take care of in the last few weeks before the wedding. I am doing my best to be involved in the wedding activities, but it’s hard because DB goes on leave for the third and second week before the wedding. I will be present for the week before, but I have been trying to plan my trip with him while helping with wedding stuff – as well as doing an internship at a local humane society.
I feel like I have been given a lot to deal with this summer, and I am doing my best to make sure that everyone is happy. I already got an email from my sister saying that I “need to stop planning my life around [DB]” – yes, thank you for putting more stress on my during this already stressful time. I haven’t seen DB in 6 months, and it’ll be another 6 months before I get to see him after our vacation. But please, continue to make me feel guilty for wanting to see him while you spend 18 hours of every day with your fiancé. [end sarcasm] I will likely just keep my mouth shut and smile during the wedding activities. No need to cause trouble during this busy time.
In other news, I am extremely happy this morning because I finally have housing for an internship that I have planned in DC! I am doing a 6 week unpaid internship, and I was really worried about finding an affordable place to stay. It was getting to the point where I was concerned that I’d have to cancel my internship, but thankfully I was put in touch with a friend yesterday – and I have a place to stay!! I am beyond excited!!! All I have to do now is book the flight, pack, then I'll be on my way for a fun end to my summer.
More updates to come! (I was in some sort of weird Disney clipart mood today - I have no idea why) :P
