My weekend

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. It has been a long/fun/crazy weekend. Friday started off with me going to the beach with my mom sister best friend and nephew. It was a beautiful day out and I am really working on my tan. I need to be tanned and in shape when Justin gets home. I came home and fell asleep for a quick cat nap. I woke up and got a call from Dani. I met her and her maid of honor sue in the city for a drink. Me and Dani, being the married old ladies that we are sat in a quiet booth and talked haha. It was a really good time and I was soo happy to see her. Hanging out with someone from 1/2 felt great. After that I headed back to my car in the parking garage where I got lost. The security guard had to help me and drive me to find my car. In my defense it was a 9 story garage that was very confusing. Another kid and his girlfriend also got into the security car. The kid said he had walked around all 9 floors and couldnt find his car and said that the garage was like a rubix cube. But I did finally find my car after a long drive and pressing the alarm. Saturday morning I woke up early to head to South Boston for the Marine Corps Honor Run. Justin ran the run 3 years ago so I was so excited to participate. I met Dani and Sue and there were Marines all over the place. I wore my shirt that I made for Justin. Sadly, it was raining out. I kept hoping it would pass....but didnt. Instead it got much worse, much much worse. It downpoured on us and I mean downpourned. We were soaked and my feet were completely immeresed in water. I was laughing because it really was funny but absolutely miserable. I came home from the run and fell asleep again. I had work at 4 and was hoping to meet up with Dani again after but I got out later than excpected. Instead I went out with some work friends for a drink down at the bar we hang out about 2 minutes away from my work. Today consisted of mothers day an absolutely crazy double at my work and now blogging. I need to write Justin a nice long motomail next because I wrote one saturday night but the internet messed up and it got erased. I hope everyone has a fun safe week!

Memorial Day




Above is a picture I wanted to share with everyone on here. This was taken a street over from where I live. Every year for Memorial Day a man in my town takes the time out to decorate his lawn like this. Every cross represents a Massachusetts soldier KIA in either Iraq or Afghanistan. He was one side dedicated to Iraq and the other to Afghanistan. He puts the cross a small angel, a ribbon and a picture, nametag and ribbon of the fallen heros. He is constantly upadated on new people to add. I think this is such an amazing thing. Also every telephone pole on his street gets an American flag and a yellow ribbon. It is an incredible sight and I am so grateful to have him in town.

Miss you

So I havent updated my blog in a while. Part of me has been busy but part of me just hasnt been in a great mood. I didnt hear from Justin for 19 days so it just made me not want to post. But he thankfully called so I should be good for about a week. Anyways, leading up to this deployment I kept telling myself how much easier it would be than the last one because it would be over the summer and summers fly but, but I never realized how much harder the summer would make it. The weather has been in the 80's and 90's the last week and it just makes me miss Justin so much more. We always have so much fun in the summers and have so many memories. I decided to dedicate this post to all the fun things we love doing together in the summer and look back on it next summer and do them all to make up for this one.
Going to the beach, falling asleep in the backseat of the car at the beach til 5am, camping, going to NC and being so nervous to see you after weeks apart, Roadtrips to and from NC, Swimming for hours, going to the driving range, going to the shooting range, watching the red sox and drinking cheap beer, going to the sox games, Taking day trips into boston and walking around for hours doing tourist things even though we live here, going to the beach at night and racing eachother to crush sandcastles that were left in the day time, watching you freeze in the New England ocean and not being used to it, Going fishing for hours listening to music bringing drinks and candles to keep the mosquitos away while we sit on the blanket for hours and talk, you cooking on the grille, having 4th of july parties and birthday parties for you, watching you start a fire, camping, making you take the fish off the hooks for me, going for walks after dinner, having you lead me down random paths at ames nowell, hanging out all day doing nothing and just being in love with eachother, lazy days in bed watching movies and eating all day, fireworks, sitting on the back of your truck eating icecream, walking around boston and having you give me a history lesson, driving aimlessly in NC and finding new places, and so many more little things you do that make me smile. I love you Justin come home soon and safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
