alright, i guess it's time to update.
Chris goes to Cuba in a little more than a month from now. his ship date got moved up so now he can't come home because with all of the training he's doing, he won't have time to. i admit, i'm pretty upset because now that means i won't get to say goodbye one last time, and i won't see him until he gets home sometime next year. but that's the military life for you... just be thankful if you don't have to live it! Chris & Mike are also leaving on the same day, september 11th for their deployments.. but Mike has it a lot harder. he's going to Iraq. it's scary knowing both my guys will be gone now. their one year mark of leaving for basic training just passed on july 31st. i'll never forget how horrible that day was. i'm just hoping that the next 4 years go by just as fast because this is going to be a long haul!
school starts in 24 days. i can't believe how fast this summer went. it was definitely a lot different without Chris here. but i'm somewhat looking forward to school just so i can be busy again, and to keep my mind off of him being gone.
it's been exactly 3 weeks since i got engaged. life's not too much different. it hasn't really hit me yet, and i don't think it will until we start planning the wedding. which will be a while from now. i still have a lot ahead of me with school, and i want to get as much done as i can before i become Mrs. VanCamp :) i told Chris we're going to have to have 2 churches because of how many people we want to invite to the wedding ;)
on a bad note, one of Chris's wrestling coaches died about a week ago. he was kayaking in West Virginia, and went out past curfew when he wasn't suppose to and drowned. it's so hard to believe because he was only 26, and was a very well-built guy. so the waters must have been really bad. and i don't think anyone has really grasped that he is gone now. i can't even imagine wrestling without him. i know Chiola's having a rough time, and i know it won't be easy for anyone next season. i was looking through Chris's pictures from states and other tournaments from senior year, and ran into pictures of coach Brian and just fell apart. it's hard to accept that he's gone. i just hope his family will be okay.
and last but not least, i got a laptop yesterday.
it's the HP Verve Special Edition. I reeeaaally like it!
so that's all for now... i hope you all enjoy your last month of summer! ♥
