Let's Get Physical

It has been FOREVER since I've posted something worthwhile for people to read so here are a few things that have been going on and/or about to start happening. 

First off, time is so weird with John being gone. I've told so many people this and I truly believe it: "I can't tell if my days are getting better or worse" I've heard so many times that your days gradually get worse when a soldier leaves but about mid-deployment is when you buck up and they start getting better because you're use to not having him there day-to-day. Well, in our situation as soon as he left our home- so did I. I went straight to Virginia, crying the whole 5 hours, and spent the next 4 days with my two best friends in the world then we headed back to Texas. So, its almost like I haven't had time to sulk. I feel like I've been "moving" for two weeks now. On Friday I am finally getting to final destination of this move and will be there for the next 9 months until I graduate! To help me through this has been everyone, I want to give a BIG shout out to my friend Courtney, whose fiance is in Marine Boot camp/SOI. We've been talking all military and it helps to have someone who is use to their other half being gone. 

I've recently discovered an amazing book to help me through these times, thanks to my cousin Lindsey: 

I think every military wife should definitely get this book, its based around a Marine officer wife living in California. I think its awesome and really helpful with every feeling you may be scared of. I really love it!

Secondly, school has been amazing this semester. Its been the most stress free I've ever felt in a semester and  where I don't have to play catch-up every week. I just need to keep up all my hard work over the next 8 weeks of this semester. Next week I will sign up for my last semester at Sam Houston, and I am so beyond excited. Ever since I was about to understand the concept of college I was told not to do anything until I finish (I didn't really obey this rule, but I'm almost finished!) so I am so excited to be done with college and start making a career for myself. :)

Lastly, I am in desperate need to start taking better care of myself. I eat a lot of junk food and I never realize it until I see myself in pictures or right before I get in the shower. So during John's deployment I plan to make a change that I stick to for basically the rest of my life. I have this bad habit about saying a lot of things about being healthy/weight loss, but I don't back it up. So its time to put my money where my mouth is! Ok..done with that rant for the day.

I think that just about sums up what I feel for the moment. If you're a military wife-get the book! :)
