too terribly long... that's what she said.
so i haven't written here in ages, and i'm not sure why i'm writing here now but i guess because i want to say something, anything, and i know nobody reads this anymore anyway so it doesn't matter what i say.
i am on day 20 of my eight and a half weeks away from adam (my husband haha, it really has been a while, livejournal)... tonight i went on the lackland afb website and explored all of what adam is doing at basic and what is to come in the next few weeks. i also looked into the jobs that he could have when he leaves basic. one job that he signed up for is "tactical aircraft maintenance" i think. so his training will be in sheppard afb in the top part of texas if he goes that job and it will be for about 111 days. so i wonder if that means i will get to come along or have to wait for him to get an actual assignment before i join him. i'm worried that i might never get to actually live with him again. like what if he gets assigned somewhere i can't come and it's like three or four years before i finally get to move back in with him? that would be not a very fun way to start out a marriage. but i am glad at least that i have more insight into what adam is going through right now. the videos of graduation made me cry, stupid video.
i'm reading "slam" by nick hornby and it's okay. i liked "a long way down" much better than this one is starting out to be. but i'm anxious to move on to a different author or different subject... i don't know.
i just finished crocheting a bikini. the bottom part is cute and fits but the top part is definitely too small for me. i didn't know my boobs were too big for any bikini really. ah well.
christmas was wonderful really even though adam was an entire time-zone away. it didn't feel like christmas at all, maybe that helped. i had no expectations for myself for the day, i was just excited to get to spend time with friends and family. i spent christmas eve with darlene, brandon, samantha and the kids. we hung out, opened gifts, and played rockband. i spent christmas morning/brunch with dad, diana, grandma, grandpa, allen, sarah, gabi, dylen and catelyn. we opened gifts and played mario kart on the wii. i spent christmas afternoon with mom and susan and christmas night with melody and her entire family it seemed. it was a lot of people but it was really great to be in a big group for christmas. we sang lots of christmas carols (just the parts we could remember or knew by heart, haha, never a full song unfortunately)
i talked with adam christmas morning at dad's. he sounded so much better this third time hearing his voice than he did the first two times. i hope he had a decent christmas with everyone he was with. i wonder if they got to do anything special at all like a big meal or little gifts? i don't know, maybe they just didn't yell at the guys as loudly. it's really weird to be away from adam, like i know he's gone and he'll be back, but it still feels really weird not to talk to him about little things and complain about stuff to him or laugh with him or cook dinner with him. i don't know what to do with myself honestly. i just knit/crochet stuff and clean and watch lots of tv when i'm not working or hanging out with people.
speaking of which, i need to get to bed so i can get up and get ready for work! no more early holiday hours at least. thank god. those were useless at our belk. oh yeah i work at belk now instead of teaching. long story, i'll explain later :)
