flight of the swallow

[gypsyjolie]

I got a tattoo done this weekend. I have two beautiful lightly-blue barn swallows that fly between my shoulder blades. I chose them after I read about what swallow tattoos signified in Navy tattoo lore, about how since swallows migrate, they represent home and returning home. I think a lot about home. My husband is far away, deployed with the Army

We love you!

PS: Have you ever listened to Kate Bush's "Flight of the Swallow"?

I love you guys too. I've been thinking aobut you. Is married life even better? Ours was/is. I should call and you can tell me me about the world, any tacky presents you got, the deal with househunting... or you should call me!

I've barely been home for married life--I've been away so much already, ugh!

However, right now we're honeymooning, and it's been lovely so far. When we get back I will be home (pretty much near-100%) for the next four months, and I'm totally enthused about Etsy & eBay and being able to not have to skim through LJ.

I miss you and am looking forward to talking to you on the phone!

Oops! I forgot about the honeymooning. HAPPY HONEYMOON!!!!

Ah, kissing vacations are so nice :)
