after an hour of trying to sleep i just thought "screw it"
jeremy and i spent a long time watching operation kitten calendar.
"what the hell is this?!"
"it's winter solstice!"
"more like winter bullshit!"
sigh, i <3 the fun times i have with that boy. i also <3 my lad who is off defending the world from the forces of evil (or something like that). when he comes home we are going to spend lots of time together! yay! it feels good to be happy! even though it took 5 years for us to get together, it is so so worth it. argh, hurry up and come back so i can shower you with love and kisses!!!
oh, i don't know if i mentioned it, but i got a care package from iraq. vince sent me some money so i could see what it looked like, a gold chain for the pendant he got me last year, an airforce shirt to sleep in and a really pretty jewelry box. it has a fairy lying on the top of it, i need to think of a name for her. i can't wait for when he gets back, he is going to stay with me for a week, i am excited to have him sleep in my bed (this is the first time i've ever had a bed big enough for two) because we've always stayed at his house or his ranch before. i'm super excited that we will be going to his beach house now that the weather is hot enough...which means i get to go bikini shopping! yaaaay! i really really need one! and i'm also excited for new years, we're going to spend it together in europe. hooray!
i am really looking forward to seeing vince get a new tattoo. to me watching something be permanantly etched onto another person is special, because if something happened and you didn't talk to them for years and years you could count on that still being there. not that i expect us to not talk for years and years, but you see what i mean. i'm not really the kind of person to get a tattoo, but if i were to get one i'd get the taurus symbol. vince jokes saying that he is going to get nachos tattooed on his butt and "plaidy mc-plaidster" on his inner thigh. i would have to beat him senseless and drag him out of the shop if he were actually serious!
i think a lot about me meeting him off the plane. i want to look my best, which will be hard after an 8 hour drive but what can you do? i think about what i will wear and say and what i will bring him. i have a feeling though that i'm just going to cry and hug him really really hard.
