Just Rambling

I sit at my desk for lunch usually and try to catch up on anything new going on here and on myspace. I am really happy that I found cafemom when I did because I have so much going on right now and really just need a place to express it (and get advice when I can). So the current thing on my mind is that Andy is leaving Saturday to go to school, I don't know much about all of it because he talks to me like I have been in the NG for 13 years too and most of it goes over my head. This is the longest that he will be gone since he got home in December from the mission he was on in DC, so neither of us are very excited about it (although I am excited for him that he gets to go do this and be done with it). Currently we are just over 7 weeks away from our wedding though and we still have alot left to do. There are other things that he will miss while he is gone too, like meet the teacher night at my daughters school (and although he is not her BIOLOGICAL father, he has been very involved with her at school since we started dating), and probably the biggest thing is....I will be going to the beach while he is gone with my photographer to make some final decisions on the wedding. I guess we are both just a little down hearted about the timing, and about being apart for the first time (even though its just 2 weeks). I know that I will get through this, and get use to the whole NG way of life...but I could sure use all the prayers that I could get right now for the wedding and for strength and for life in general.

 

Thanks,

Kelly

My thoughts and prayers are definitely with you girl. Timing is never on our side it seems, I know that first hand. Having your partner not around is one of the hardest things ever to deal with I can sympathise mine is away for fifteen months and everyone says oh its not that long it will go by quick, I'm not trying to compare but just saying I understand no matter how long the time is apart to you it feels life forever and you will get it. Just try not to focus on him being gone but about what all you have to do.

     The wedding I know that one too don't get to stressed about it, I know that is so much easier said than done but just remember this is you guys's big day the day that seals it that through all of the bullshit and hard times your a team. You are each-others strength and no matter how far away you two are you have that connection, always.

    Hang in there, you will get through this and if you need anything at all even just to talk I am hear.

Aug. 6, 2007 at 11:35 AM Ugh, I hate when my hubby is away.  Its hard...plus the wedding planning?  I am in the middle of that myself.  My husband and I never had a wedding...just a courthouse thing, so we've been planning one and it makes me crazy with all the details!  Hang in there ok!  I'll keep you in my prayers!
