So this weekend was a doozy, to say the least. I woke up Saturday morning thinking I was going to go to the gym, but Courtney showed up and told me Ashley's kiddos were still sick and so I went with her to watch them. Unfortunately baby Ellie got so sick she had to stay overnight, so Courtney and I watched over Carter. It was a busy weekend for sure, and I had an epiphany of sorts. All in all the weekend was good. I found out Mark finally got his care packages..and he was so elated! I love when he gets the things I send him. He does too, I'm sure :) When I got home on Sunday I was so pooped I literally took a nap on my couch before emailing back and forth with Mark (and watching desperate housewives). Afterwords I fell asleep and next thing you know, I have to go to work again. Monday was loooong and drawn out to say the least. After work I finally got to go on base to run some errands (like gas, which in retrospect was a stupid thing to do right after 4 o clock). When I got home I sorted laundry and cleaned my room and bathroom. I can't wait to keep knocking down our debt and rewarding ourselves with little things here and there to make our apartment more homey <3 When he comes home, he will be so happy...and in turn, that makes ME so happy. I know I'm being a mushy mc-musherton, but I love my husband so much and miss him even more. He called me last night around 4 o clock while I was on base, he had a lot of work to do (he is taking RCIA to become Catholic so his studies and workload on top of that make for very long hours) and so he figured he would be done by 8 o clock. He could have gone out but his reasoning was...why even go out for just an hour or so? Luckily his buddies Saunders and Saxton helped him out with his maintenance and he was done by early afternoon so he was able to join them after all. Thank GOODNESS :) At about 6 am today, I got my phone call, he was so tired but I could still hear him smiling on the other end; I was thrilled to hear about his night on the town and the little gifts he picked up for me and our families. I am truly blessed. Mark always knows what to say and I couldn't be more grateful. A good friend I met here in San Diego had been given the idea to create a 365 day photo-blog documenting her life in a year. I thought it would be an amazing idea***and would help pass the time while our husbands are deployed on the USS CARL VINSON. And here goes nothing... ***disclaimer: I am a busy busy girl and can't always give day to day updates, but I try <3
