Red

I know that it has been a long time since I have posted anything, but to say that I have been busy is an extreme understatement. Being in DC has been an AMAZING experience, but I have been SO busy ever since I arrived here. I have been going to school, working full-time and volunteering as a tutor at a bilingual school. The only down time I really get is during the weekends and at that time, I see it more appropriate to rest and talk to my soldier. The countdown has begun, and all I can say is that it has been harder than I thought it would be, but due to being busy all the time, the days have been going by faster than I expected. I miss him every single second of every single moment of every single day. I miss seeing his smiling face infront of me without a computer screen seperating us. I miss holding his hand. I miss his hugs...I miss him. But I am thankful that I get to talk to him and see his smile, even if there is a computer screen seperating us. :) On another note, I got something in the mail that made me very happy. I ordered a Red Friday Paracord Bracelet from a site called My Hero's Keepsake (http://www.myheroskeepsakes.com/) and  it was in my mailbox yesterday. Now, I can always wear red on Red Fridays! :D Seeing it on my wrist is comforting. It lets me know that no matter what, my soldier is always here with me, because he is in my heart. :) Because every time I look at that bracelet, I think of his smile and of the day he is finally going to be home. And that is going to be a glorious and amazing day. Until then, I'll just continue loving my soldier and praying for him, his (and my) friends that are with him, and every other soldier out there.
