I’m blogging from my phone at my parents’ house. I’m really enjoying my time off of school. I think I had forgotten what it was like to sleep through the night. Those last few weeks were tough…tougher than I could have ever predicted or imagined. I’m just glad we all made it through.
I had a wonderful Christmas with my parents & the Captain & the rest of my family. It was a dream to get to spend so much time with the Captain. We stayed with my parents until Dec. 29 when we headed to his parents’ house. I am always amazed at how much fun we have doing perfectly ordinary things. I suppose it’s something to do with the fact that I don’t care what we’re doing as long as we can spend time together in person as opposed to over the phone.
It was a rougher goodbye than usual & I’ve been a little down since I got home. I’ll be ok soon. A very wise person pointed out that it is hard to see everyone around me getting engaged & married while I’m supposed to enjoy my 9 day visit and then go back to normal 500 miles away. It doesn’t make it any easier, but it’s nice to look at the big picture. Soon it will be our turn. For now, I’m going to enjoy the rest of my break. It’s going to be another tough semester but I’m going to make it through!
