3 more months!!!

3 more months until I see this boy

 As of now, we will reunite in this place...Chicago!! We planned on going anyway, but since Ben would have to retrack, fly to Detroit and then back to Chicago, we figured it would be easier for me to meet him there. So we will be meeting in Chicago, spending a long weekend together and then taking the train back to Detroit! We already have lots of ideas in mind and I'm soooo excited!!! I will probably use this as an excuse to go shopping and buy some cute clothes. Can't wait!!

You'd think that these deployments would get easier...but I think they get harder. It's so frustrating when you want to talk to them and you can't. You have to wait until they contact you. It definitely puts strain on the relationship, but in the end you hope things are stronger because of it. There's no way we're perfect, but I think we're doing a pretty good job of it.

On a happier note, I'm planning my next trip to Seattle. It'll be amazing as always, and this time there will be a military ball involved. Feeling like a princess for the night will be so fun, it's not often we get to dress up!! Because of my amazing work schedule, I'll be able to stay for 12 days! AHHHH!!! It'll be more laid back this time since Ben will have to work, but at least we'll be able to do some fun stuff. And I'll get to make him dinner when he gets home hehe! Gotta show him my mad skills.

I need to take more pictures. And  blog more. It makes me feel better to get it all out!!
