I can't believe it's October and I haven't written since August...OMG!!! So...let's recap, shall we?
Hmm...
August:
*I had a fantastic trip flying to NC! It's always wonderful to see my love!
*School started back and I'm teaching a 1/2 split class. I absolutely LOVE them!!
*I turned 26! Brandon texted me at midnight the 24th to say that he hoped he was the first to tell me happy birthday :-)
*Brandon came home August 28th for some leave time...this was his last at home visit before deployment :-(
September:
*Went to NC September 12th-17th to see Brandon off. The deployment was delayed another 24 hrs so his family and I had to leave without saying a final goodbye. I'll never forget that day...We texted eachother all day saying how much we were gonna miss eachother and how much we loved eachother :-)
*Sept. 18th-Brandon leaves for Iraq. He called whe he got to Kuwait...I missed his first phone call and BAWLED!!! Lucky for me, he called back within ten minutes...and laughed at me for crying (of course)!!
*I started my deployment journal that Brandon will get when he gets home! It's been wonderful! It's such a stress reliever, and keeps me focused instead of becoming a complete nut job from missing him!!
*Brandon asked my daddy for my hand in marriage!!! OMG...dreams do come true!!
October:
*Brandon sent me flowers! They are gorgeous!...and I got a very adorable teddy bear to go along with them!!
*October 18th-One month since Brandon's deployment, Happy Sweetest Day, 5 year anniversary of Jamie Dale's (Brandon's brother) death :-(
Other than that...I'm beginning my letter of intent for the master's program at Walden University Online! I'm excited but not looking forward to the homework...yuck! I'm keeping busy teaching and hanging out with both my families :-) Well I'm gonna end for tonight...maybe I'll remember to write again before the end of the year LOL!
