Ever had one of those powerful, intense dreams? The ones that feel soooo real that when you wake up, it takes a minute or two for you to realize you were only dreaming? I had one. It was a major let down to my morning. 19 more days of waiting to be in his arms... These next couple of months, the time is going to fly by, even as I desperately attempt to slow it down. I keep thinking to myself, this month was awful. It still continues to take its precious time on moving past. Once I have to say good-bye to him for a year, how is it going to work then? A 30 day countdown is one thing, but a year? (I know -- I must sound like a broken record...)

At the same time, though, as much as I don't want that dreaded date to make its mark, I'm ready for it to just get here. I'll never be ready to say good-bye or see ya later. But the sooner it gets here, the sooner he will be coming home. At least that is the way I'm trying to look at it. I'll have a bit more to occupy my time. Once school is done and over with, my little lovebug will be making his/her appearance & if that doesn't occupy all of my time, then nothing will!! I'll have my own place & my own vehicle again. As much as I appreciate my bestie for taking me in this month, I miss my own home -- doing my own grocery shopping, my own bed, & not having to depend on anyone to take me anywhere. Although, I will miss having somebody to stay up until 3 in the morning with on my routinely sleepless nights.

Finally, after 2 weeks of a very persistant infection taking residence in my sinuses, I'm feeling sooo much better. I forgot completely how wonderful it is to be able to breath out of my nose. However, I just don't feel like I can get caught up on my rest. Hopefully that'll change soon.

Anywho...

Day 4

A Picture Of Someone You Have Been The Closest To The Longest

My Dad. He has been my rock, my best friend for as long as I can remember. The two of us has been through a lot... As father and daughter, as individuals... But we always have had each other to fall back on. I am so lucky to have a person like him in my life, let alone, to know him as my father.
