Well, Chris left for Bahrain last night. Another deployment has come again. I am ready to get this one over with. It's twice as long as the last one, so it's gonna kill me, but it's just something you have to take day by day.
By the way, Chris will have access to the internet while he is there so I encourage ANYONE to send him a note on myspace or facebook once in a while just to say hi because he gets lonely being away from home and really loves hearing from people. But if you want to, he can also get letters, so here is his address:
MCSF Co.
Bahrain
ATTN: Lcpl VanCamp, Christopher N
PSC 451 Box 710
FPO AE 09834-2800
Also, I graduated from Schoolcraft on Saturday. I'm happy to have my first diploma under my belt. I'm transferring to Eastern this fall to get my Bachelors in Elementary Ed. Which I hope to get done in 2 years too, but we'll see!
By the way, Chris flew home Friday night and surprised me! It was so special having him here for my graduation, and being able to see him one last time before he left. And...... I didn't cry when we said goodbye!! Maybe because he wasn't suppose to be home anyways, or just because I had already gone through 4 different goodbyes, which at the time I thought were the last one and balled my eyes out. You'd think after 2 years it gets easier, but don't let anyone fool you, it doesn't! It's always going to be hard, especially knowing you won't see them for so long. Chris will be gone until Christmas, which seems like a lifetime away right now. To some people 2 weeks apart from their boyfriends is a long time... I wish I had that. It's funny, I always joke with Chris that when he signed up for the Marines, he signed me up too. My life is consumed by the Military and sometimes I just can't wait to get out of it. But it's taught me a lot about all of the men and women fighting for our country, and I've grown to appreciate life so much more. Plus I've met some really great people who I know will always have my back.
Lately I've gotten to spend time with a lot of wonderful people and I think this summer is going to be good, despite Chris being gone. I've made a lot of friends and they've shown me that I can be my own person without him here and I am happy I've gotten to know them :) And Mikey came home a few weeks ago, so I've been able to see him and it's been great catching up! I missed that boy! It's great having my other Marine back, but now the other one is gone. Damn military! But I am so happy because last weekend Chris was able to see Mike before he left, which I know was so good for both of them.
And I hope everyone has a nice Mother's Day this weekend. This is my first one without my mom. I plan on going up to the cemetery to bring her flowers. It's going to be a hard day, but I'll get through it.
♥ I love you mama ♥
