Finally A Frog

So it's been quite a busy week with getting packed and ready to move in to my dorm. It's been hard because I haven't had a lot of time to think about Michael but it's worse when I am all alone because everything is quiet and the solitude makes me miss him even more. I can't wait until he's in AIT and we can talk more frequently! So my dorm looks really cute! I'll have some pics on here later this week. My roommate moves in tomorrow and I'm excited to put the finishing touches on our room! :) All of the freshman that live close to Funkytown Fort Worth went home for the night! :) I got to sleep in. Next week will be crazy busy between Band and Freshman Stuff. I have all kinds of Social Events too :) This afternoon I'm going to get fit for my uniform and then I have flute section bonding (Pizza and Movies) hopefully I'll get to know the upper classmen a little better. I heard the TCU drumline yesterday and it upset me. The last two years of HS I was almost considered a part of the drumline. All my friends and my boy were on there and now it's strange because I have no reason to run up and see them anymore. College so far has been weird, although I wouldn't really call it college yet since I haven't really started full force. I'm sure it'll be more fun once I get to know more people and there are more things to do around campus. Being at college really makes me miss Michael but I'm going to start counting down the days until I see him soon! I'll be updating this when I can, but I have to adjust to the lifestyle change first. This next week is going to be nuts..but I'll try and post once.

Practically Finished!!!

So as of today, I'm pretty much done with buying stuff for my dorm! :) Finally, I'm so excited to set up my room! I went shopping today with my roommate Emily and her Mom with my Mom as well! It was lots of fun! We went to Charleston's for lunch and then to Target, Garden Ridge and Wal-Mart! Our bathroom is gonna be ZEBRA!!! :) Then my mom, sister, her boyfriend and I went to El Paseo for dinner! :)

No word from the boyfriend in 2 weeks, except for a letter I received on Thursday that he sent probably last Friday. I'm starting to get concerned. Wishing I knew how he was doing.

Aside from that, I leave for college on Friday and I'll be 18 on Saturday!!!!

Wait

Well, it's been since Friday since I've heard something from Michael. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard to not hate on the postal service or Fort Jackson for sending his stuff so slow. It's coming, I just need to be patient. I've been kept pretty busy at work, except for yesterday afternoon when I was to sit back in Rebecca's cubical and we talked for the last for hours. Rebecca was working on a scrapbook for her fiance and I was drawing Michael pictures for his letter :) Today I had to man the front lobby and wait for this guy to finish a ten question test for his interview while Lori and Boyd went to lunch. It took him over an hour to do which caused me to have to scarf down lunch so someone could be at the front when the 1 o'clock interview arrived in case Shane wasn't back from flying the helicopter for employees so he could work up front while I worked in the back for Rebecca and did some stuff at Jennifer's desk.

The best thing about today was, I GOT MY CAR BACK! She has a new butt! :) Back at the beginning of July I got rear ended so she went in the shop to get her ass replaced last Monday and she finally came out of the shop today! Can't wait to drive my own, little car again. I also am half way through reading my TCU Common Reading, not that it was a lot, because it's really short, but I'm working and relaxing so I'm doing it slowly. :) That's the way to roll in life.

I'm pretty tired, thinking of going to bed soon.

I think I'm going to pop by Michael's house tomorrow to catch up with his Mom, Niki, Rick and Adrian. I Love Them! This has become a once a week thing that I hope to continue even in college. I just need to keep close to his family as they're going to be in my life for a longgggggggggggg time and I feel much better updating them on how he is and getting updates from them as well. Plus, his family makes me feel at home because they're the only piece of him that I have here at home except for pictures.

My body is telling me it's time for bed, I didn't even feel like updating, but it's been two days and I felt the need to not procrastinate.

Goodnight.

2 Year Anniversary!

Wow! Michael and I started the beginning of the rest of our lives 2 years ago on August 3, 2007! I cannot believe how fast time has flown and even faster now. He's been gone for 5 weeks as of today and will begin his 5th week of training on Wednesday! It was kind of a sad anniversary not having him here, but this is our life now, but whenever I see him next he says we're having a "Emily's Birthday and Our Anniversary Extravaganza." It'll probably be more like Thanksgiving together but I'd enjoy spending it with the one I'm most thankful for which will make it even more special. Plus the gold dog tag I received from him the other day to me was an anniversary present. This day gets me excited about our future together as I know in my heart we'll always be in each other's hearts and lives forever. :) I wont bore you with my love story. hahaha although if you're bored, you're probably jealous!

So today was a monday, again. I never knew why teacher's were like "oh today is such a monday," until I actually started working. They can be quite entertaining and aggravating. I don't think I'll recall the events of the day so I won't risk throwing stress upon myself thinking about how lovely it was at work today!

This weekend was productive to say the least. I've almost completely thrown out anything I won't need once I'm married and moved out. I was thinking to myself "Emily, Will you really need this four years from now once you're married?" "Nahhhh! I don't wont to mess with that, especially if we move around a lot!"

I made myself upset Friday! I convinced myself that Michael's mom was so offended by him talking to me way more that she would actually take out the fact that her son hadn't called her and written me like a novel and a sequel on the innocent girlfriend who has no control over who the boy makes his communication to. A sigh of relief yesterday when she accepted the invitation to come swimming and bring Niki over to swim and have his mom's sister, Tammy, come over and swim with us. We talked about the boy and how all he thinks about is me and food, the kid must be so deprived. It's always comforting to share an afternoon or evening with the future in-laws. :)

I need to go finish a letter to my sweet boy! I feel like these letters are becoming a competition and I can't compete with his 36 (front and back) page letter. :)
