Day 5

So here it is another day... the week has gone by fairly quick. Suprising huh. I was excited to hear Adrian's voice as much as I did this week... he is definitly sticking to his word.
Im still going to the Gym, and I have actually enjoyed it. But it definitly helps to have someone in your corner supporting you... Thanks
I have alot of time to think about my future and what it is that God intends to do with it. I hope that this is all in HIS will, just continue to pray for us please.

Stay Blessed,

Day 2..

Yesterday was like any other...

I had the opportunity to spend some "real" quality time with the kids, which is always a job in itself. LOL. I wanted to take then to dinner just to see how everyone's day was and of course they all seemed to pick the Buffett... (Not a favorite of mine, and definitely not when I’m on a diet). It actually felt pretty good to eat just a salad and not feel hungry. Hmm, maybe I really can do this.
When I left dinner I went straight to the Gym, I walked on the treadmill for about an hour and then took a Zumba class that was horrible... (Okay, I’m whining) But it does let me know that I should never work on the treadmill and then take a class. There were 60 year young women in there moving quicker than me. (That’s a problem)
When I got home Adrian called for about 20 minutes... especially in a very busy day, it's always soothing to hear his voice and how positive he is about this whole situation.
I have a friend that is so inspiring to us. She may or may not know who she is, but she is definitely someone that the both of us look up to from afar. In speaking to her, I decided to get the movie "Fireproof", I'll try to make time to actually watch it this week. Adrian and I also are going to do the Love Dare together. Although we are not married, (and not even close to truly talking about it) we thought it would be interesting.
SO, once he gets to Iraq in a few weeks Ill send him a copy and we will go one day at a time.

There is so much that I want to say, however I needed to get started with my day 20 minutes ago, so I'll end for now and resume later...

Stay Blessed.....

The first day of the rest of my life....

So here I am, doing what used to come naturally. Writing is something that takes away the pain, the sorrow, and the guilt from daily activities in life. However this is a new type of writing that hurts just as deep.
See, I’ve come to know once again the pain that occurs when you’ve fallen for someone in the US Military. He was deployed Saturday evening. Actually, we said our good-byes last Tuesday thinking that would be it … but as we all know, the military changes orders as they see fit. Adrian says that the military's slogan should be "hurry up and wait..." I've come to see the truth in that. Ill try to keep this updated, as Adrian is away. When he has time, he will note some things also.
The thing is, I’ve done this before and it didn’t turn out so well. So, some may ask what could ever make me do it again… to be honest, had it not of been for the man that is involved, I would have ran the other direction at the first mention of “military”.
I received my first call from Kuwait last night about 7:00pm, making it 3:00am his time, we were able to talk for about 15 minutes when he warned me that our phone call would only be 20 minutes… I was in shock. I babbled for 12 of the 15 minutes. Time goes by so quickly when you’re used to speaking for hours on the phone. But all was well; I was content hearing his voice knowing that he made it safe.
The phone rang at 6:58am, I was totally excited, Adrian called to let me know how the conditions were and that he finally got some sleep. (His total flight was about 20 hours). He assured me that we would still get to talk on a regular even though it wouldn’t be our regular 2 hours each night. At this point, Ill take what I can get…
