Today is a big day..........................HALF WAY THROUGH DEPLOYMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not believe we are this far. And now it is all down hill from here. Also today Matthew and I have been married 10 months. I miss my husband more then ever.
Today I was thinking about how it is a little over 2 months till Matt is home for R & R. Last February was 2 months before Matthew left. Those 8 weeks felt so short. I wish so bad at that moment that time would slow down. Now it is close to being 8 weeks till he is back and now it feels like the longest time ever. I wish time would speed up! This is where the saying, "Glass half full or half empty" really fits. It is weird you can take the same amount of time but have two totally different perspectives. Last February the glass was half empty, I was depressed and sad. Now the glass is half full, I can not even explain to you my excitement for when he is home.
But always, it is how you see it. Trust in God and He can always make you see not so fun situations as half full : )

That Boy Sitting on the Cooler.....
I LOVE this weather! I love when you can wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt and not have to carry a jacket. It's the best.....but it does make me miss Matthew. This weather reminds me of the time I met him and feel in love (sappy, I know).
First semester of my sophomore year of college started off normal. Once the weather changed, we had bon fires about every weekend. One particular night at a bon fire I looked up and saw this boy sitting on a cooler staring at me. My first thought was, "Who is that? He is cute!". I realized I had a class with him, he was a freshmen, and I knew his name was either Case, Brad or Matt. I was dating someone else that first semester of college. But every bon fire "that boy sitting on the cooler" was there staring at me, and I couldn't help but stare back at him : ) One bon fire he was trying to act cool. I was sitting on a tailgate with some girlfriends and he went to sit in a chair right in front of me. One of his friends pulled the chair out from under him and he fell right under my feet. I leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?" hahaha If we only knew! Anyways, second semester rolled around and my relationship at the time ended. I went to workout and the only other person in the gym was "that boy sitting on the cooler". I got home and wrote him an e-mail and it was all over from there. The first time we "talked" in person was a cold night after a basketball game. The first time we kissed was a cold night after a bon fire. The first time he told me he loved me was a cold night sitting outside his house.
So every time it is cold and I smell a fire. I think of "that boy sitting on the cooler" in jeans, boots, a long sleeve shirt with a short sleeve shirt over it and his (BLAH) Alabama hat on. It just makes a huge smile come across my face. It takes me back every time. I can not wait for the day I get to see "that boy sitting on the cooler" again <3

3 Months till R & R
Today is 3 months till Matt comes home for 2 weeks for R & R. At the end of this month he will have been gone 6 months, half way! I can not wait for the day to see him again. Just searching for a picture for my blog made me get butterflies just looking at his pictures : ). It will have been 8 months when we FINALLY see one another, crazy huh?!?!
With him being gone a year, my life has been "on hold". Couples are buying houses, having kids and enjoying being married. Part of me is jealous of all those happy couples. Now I`m not saying we are going to have kids soon. We got about 2 years or so. But the fact that they CAN is what I`m jealous of. I wish more then anything in this world I could lay down in my bed tonight and Matthew be there. I wish when I have a crappy day I could come home and cry about it to him. I wish I could just sit and watch TV with him. I wish we could do "married people activities" (wink wink).
So any happy couples I know or pass by if I: a.) ignore you b.) give you a mean look c.) run away crying......don`t take it personally.
