thoughtful tuesday

skype dates with the sweets make me smile. they are never long enough though. yeah, we talk for three hours at a time, but that still isn't long enough. he calculated that in the time that he is gone we will have talked for 90 hours. how cute that he calculated that :) that's a lot of JUST talking. but we are learning quite a bit about each other, that's for darn sure. i can't wait to not talk, and you know, do other things{wink,wink}. two and a half months to go. time is flying by and i couldn't be happier about it. i miss him so much and just want him home safely. we have so many fun things to look forward to this summer and i just want them to happen NOW. i know, i know, i need to be patient. or as he says "be patient my little grasshopper". too cute is what he is. i adore that man beyond words and he truly means the world to me. i'm such a lucky girl.

months: two and a half

weeks: twelve

days: eighty-two

skype dates: twenty. 

not bad 

not bad at all.

i got this,

i can do this,

i can be strong and make it. 

i know i can. 

seeing couples makes me so jealous. like, seriously, i just want to tell people to stop being cute around me because it makes me want to scream because i miss the sweets so much. the only couples that don't make me want to throw a tantrum are older couples. mostly because old couples are so adorable and i can't be mad at them for loving each other so much. 

i ate pretty well yesterday. i'm off to a good start! i can't wait to see the transformation in the next two months. i really also need to work a tan. i'm casper over here and it isn't okay! my boyfriend who is in iraq and covered in his uniform all the time will probably be more tan than i am when he comes home. sad day.

i will leave you with a few snaps from the weekend. sunday was spent with my dad. it was lovely to spend a whole day with just my daddy. it needs to happen more often.

 {nobody should wear those ugly flipper toe sock shoe things. i don't even know their name, but they are ridiculous and should be banned from this earth. immediately if not sooner. thanks. }

i don't have the time to flip the photos the right way, so just tilt your head for the time being. sorry in advance for the neck ache. 

hope everyone is having a lovely tuesday. i am!
