Hello Sunday....

It is hard to believe it is already Sunday... I am not sure where the days go, but they go by fast. Seth and I have had a slow weekend. Friday night we did pizza and a movie and had a good time. I enjoyed my lunch with Nicole on Saturday, got some homework done (as did Seth). We did manage to get Ike a much needed bath, and then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening just chillin'
My only plans for today are to finish reading my chapter in Biology and get a little bit of housework done.

I spent alot of that "chillin'" time trying to figure out WHY this deployment seems so hard. I came to this conclusion: time! The more years that pass, the more my love for Doug grows, making separation that much harder. We were dating the first two, only been married a few months on the third and a few years on the fourth. So here we are on the fifth, and will be married seven years in July, been together for 10 years now, so there you have it! Time. Time can be responsible for such much, good and bad. Time heals all wounds. Time is of the essence. Many cliches that go along with time. Time does all that, for me the time has allowed my love for Doug to grow, and for time I am grateful. I do my best to make the most of my time with Doug and not dwell on the negative. After all, I am a glass half full kinda gal!

Distance and time only causes me to love Doug more, and my respect for him grows for the dedication to his job and country. I try to look at it as a good thing, my heart breaks more now that he is gone, because my heart is full of more love for him everyday.

So there you have it, time!


It is like anything else, you "put on your big girl panties and deal", and that is what I will do.
