I'll start with the best news of my day! =D!!! I FINALLY heard from Travis this morning, it had been 3 weeks since I heard from him last! It was just a quick message letting me know he's ok, and telling me he loves me! Last Saturday was his birthday, he said they made him stand duty for 48 hours. Yuck! What a way to celebrate! Its ok though, when he comes back from Afghanistan, we're going to celebrate his birthday the way it should be celebrated!
I'm SOOO ready for summer classes to start! I'm not usually excited for classes to start, but I've made it my goal to stay as busy as possible while Travis is gone, in hopes that time will fly by faster. The last month wasn't so bad, because I started a new job, so that was keeping me pretty busy! But I need some ideas!!! Some goals to work towards or projects to do to keep me busy! So far my goals include:
1. School - Finish my associates degree, and either pick a school/major to finish my bachelor's in, or find a full time job!!!
2. Exercise - I'm not really the diet kind of girl. I just can't tell myself I can't eat something, but I wouldn't mind losing a little weight, so I would like to lose 15 pounds by the time Travis comes home. You know, that way I look a little extra sexy before he gets back! =D
3. Money - I'm going to work as much as possible, and pay off everything! I basically just want to pay off my car and start a savings, because right now, I don't have a savings.
4. Trips!!!! - Right now I'm planning a trip to Chicago (well, haven't started planning it except I found people who want to come). My best friend STeve and my brother AJ want to come. We are going to go for 2 or 3 days, and see a comedian, or a concert, and do some sightseeing, cause none of us have been to Chicago.
Alright, so I need more goals! Things to do! Any ideas any of you have I would love! I don't care what you suggest!!! Good books to read, places to go, ANYTHING!!! Those of you that have boyfriends/husbands in the military know that sometimes it just sucks not being able to talk to them, and the best way to deal with it is to stay busy. Staying busy keeps you distracted and gives you fun stories to tell them about while they're gone. Plus it makes them feel less guilty about not being there with you...I know Travis sometimes feels like he abandoned me, and he worries about me, and how hard this is on me!
Alright, thanks for any ideas! And I'll write soon about the craziness of my life! =D |
