greetings from washington state!!!
so, i'm sorry that i haven't written in here in a while, but ive been pretty busy. i am currently in washington state visiting family, which is nice. i havent seen them in a long time due to the distance, and two of my cousins (kathryn and kyle) graduated this year.
yesterday was andrew and my 6 month anniversary. can you believe that? six months. i really miss him right now, and i wish that he could have come with us because i know he would have just fit right in with my family. i called him twice yesterday to talk to him, but the time difference and long distance didnt allow us a whole lot of conversation time. we are planning on celebrating it on the 30th, after i get back, but i still felt bad for not being able to be there for our six months, which is a very important milestone.
i really miss him. i know i just said that, but being on this trip made me realize how much i am going to miss him when he goes off to college. maybe the fact that i am tired from a long day at the woodland park zoo and sitting down with my cousins sydney (6) and anna (3) are making me think about it too much, but i never really thought about how hard it will be. granted, we will be in the same time zone, so i dont have to think about what time it is here versus what time it is in virginia, but still.
i have also been thinking about my dad a lot. but it only makes sense that i would think about him. i was really excited when i talked with elizabeth and parker and we decided that i could do the 2nd movement, the band of brothers, because it is the big patriotic movement and i know it will mean a lot to my dad when he gets the videos of our shows. i had wanted that movement ever since i found out that there was going to be a patriotic movement, because i guess thats how much of a navy brat i am.
between me missing my dad and me missing andrew, i have been pretty busy. my summer is pretty much shot as far as spare time. i will have about 4 days between when i get back from washington and when i leave for gov school. i only have one visitation day when im at gov school, so that means it goes from july 2 through the 28 minus 1 day. then i have another 4 or 5 days until the drum majors go to some drum majorthing for about a week, then i come home and about 3 days later is rookie camp. on top of that i have to practice my clarinet (gov school should take care of that) and read 3 summer reading books for adv. english, one for ap us history (and write a paper on that) and do summer work for ap psychology. i am so packed full of summer fun, it is not even funny....
i should probably be getting to bed now, because we are going to go to breakfast tomorrow with my uncle james at 9 or something like that, which means that i will probably be getting up relatively early. so i guess ill go and read some more of lonesome dove, or look at the wallet pictures of andrew before i go to bed.
i love you with all my heart andrew richard!! ill talk to you tomorrow sometime. i miss you and cant wait to see you next thursday!!!
love, your clarey
