I just got back form Chicago! I love going there. Reasons being 1. Josh is there. 2. I love the Lake Michigan beach. 3. Josh is there! 4. I get to travel. I have been to Chicago a total of 3 times in the last 9 months! I know, it sounds like a lot but to be honest I wish the number was 9 in 9. I went out the first time in March for Joshs boot camp graduation with His parents and Hayden. The second time was April 30th - May 4th for Joshs birthday, and this time, I went out for our anniversary! (which was last month) I left Hayden home. This time we did a lot more sight seeing ( dont think I spelled that right?) we went to the Willis tower (sears tower) and to the beach twice, the Gurnee mall, twice, and to every good food place we could think of. which is why I gained 3 pounds! We took lots of Pic and had lots of fun and enjoyed each others company. I miss him a lot! This time was really hard to say good bye. I had to force myself out of the room to check out and my foot didnt want to push on the gas to get to the air port. I even found myself wishing that the air port had been blown up (before I got there) and they had to call me and say you have to stay and extra couple days till we get everything sorted out! I WOULD HAVE PAID THE EXTRA MONEY! I cried as the plane took off and I cried when it touched down. Yes I'm a boob! Its not like I've never had to say good bye before but for some weird reason this time was especially hard. Maybe because I know it could take longer than we think for him to come home again or because we have been apart for so long. seeing your spouse 4 times in 9 months SUCKS just so you know!
But dispite the fact that I wanted to live in his closet.... we had a good time and made some memories we wont ever (or at least soon) forget! I hope time goes by quickly and that my patience and strength maintain. I hope that this time next month Im getting ready for Josh to come home and to move! I dont care where as long as we can live together! I look forward to the phone call from Josh that tells us where we are going and WHEN. Im a planner and the military, They dont let you plan squat! I look forward to saying goodbye to my house and moving again. I look forward to making new friends. But most of all I look forward to having all the pieces of my heard under one roof!
