inside your heart for your whole life

… love is never ending

So now is the time for me to really start worrying. At 4:17am Rob called me and told me that is now officially in Iraq.

It took him about 3 planes to get there he said. The first plane got hit by lightning and they had to go back, the second plane had landing gear malfunction so they had to go back… I think he said it was the third plane that finally got him there. Not that I am thrilled that he is now in Iraq, but shit I am happy that he just got there safely. I got to talk to him for 16 min and that was the longest conversation that we have had since he left. It was a great conversation though… we were both laughing and joking around. It was perfect. I love getting to hear his voice. Now that he is in Iraq I know that we will get to talk less then before so I don’t think that I will hear from him for the next month. I have a whole bunch of letters that I already started writing to him… but I think that I am going to hold off on sending those since I have the project to worry about first. I hope he wrote me a letter on the plane like he was going to originally, but with all the problems I am thinking that he didn’t.

I don’t know what is wrong with me? The first time that Rob told me he was going to Iraq I was a huge mess…. but now… that I know that he is there I feel…. numb. Maybe it just hasn’t hit me yet and I will feel it later, but I guess I should just take this numbness for what it is. When we got off the phone I cried for about half an hour, but then I thought I need to just suck it up and be strong. I don’t want Rob to think that I can’t handle this… I don’t want him to worry about me. I want him to stay focused on him and what he has to do. I am ok… I can handle this…

I took my English Comp II final this morning at 9am. Oh how I love waking up on Saturday morning at 7:30 to go write an essay for an hour. But atleast it is out of the way… one final down.

I am going to be hanging out with Amanda today… we are going to see the Invisible at 4 and I have to leave in about half an hour to go pick her up.

I guess I just have to keep myself busy. The school semester is almost over and then I will begin looking for a job or two. I hope for 2.

The best news that I got last night/early this morning…. Rob said that he is still on for r&r so he WILL be home for my birthday (as of right now, that could always change) and I am so excited! That is the most perfect birthday present that I could ever ask for.

I think that I am running out of things to say… yuppers… all out.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

army love strong forever… HOOAH!!
