I'm in my 3 hour night class (now an hour and fifteen minutes in) and it's break time. Literally 5 minutes before class started at 6, his ringer went off on my phone. I could barely contain myself! I missed the first 10 minutes of class because talking to him finally was so much better. I was holding back tears and sniffles I was so happy. And to hear how much he missed me, too, made these last 13 days just disappear. I could hear the excitement in his voice, which felt great. He even let me know that he "ran there" as soon as he could, even before he played with his new phone (He finally got my package). I thanked him for loving me more than the phone ;) All I can say is, the gift of a phone call, of the sound of someone's voice, is a gift from God. I feel so much better now.
I just got home after an hour and a half drive down a single long, dark highway. Thankfully there were no deer frolicking in the road this time. I'm writing the rest of this a few hours later. I'm exhausted but I can never sleep at night. I have a pinched nerve in my neck which doesn't help. I can thank stress for that one. They also happen to people who sit at computers and/or read a lot, which is the story of my life. Looks like I better get used to it. It's weird because the back of my neck is actually numb to the touch. It freaked me out at first, but it's a common symptom.
I hadn't seen my puppies in two weeks, so they were soo excited when I walked in the front door. I love that feeling! When we have kids in the next few years, I can't wait for those huge smiles they have when you get them from their nap time. They're so happy to see you. Everyone always asks us why we haven't had kids yet. If it wasn't for our unique situation, we probably would have started. However, we never got that fun, carefree time together that most couples get during their dating and engagement. We've spent, let's see, 3 months actually physically together out of the year and five months we've been together. So needless to say, we want our 15 months in Hawaii to be spent just us two, finally getting that time to be adventurous and live on a whim. Once we get back to VA and find jobs, then mission mini-Hirn will commence. So hopefully that clears the air on that subject.
It's after 11:30, which is well past my bedtime, so I'm going to try and clear my head of all the homework, finance, house-shopping, car-shopping stuff that constantly runs through it...Right...
And just an added bonus. He called me around 5:30 this morning. He had been on Facebook beforehand and wrote me a nice, long message about the last 13 days. Apparently two men died; the second one was a flight medic who I'm guessing wasn't in his unit. At the end of his message, he wrote:
"But as you know I'm safe and back so I can tell you how much I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I can't even begin to say how much I missed you over the last week but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. :) Well you're probably sleeping but as soon as I get off here I will call you. I love you so much. -your husband ♥"
Who couldn't love him? :)
