WEEK 5

Today marks the beginning of week 6. I really thought things would get easier as his graduation approached. I was wrong. Things have gotten harder and harder! 6 weeks without your husband is extremely hard. Yesterday was the first day I finally broke down crying. I have held in my tears because I feel crying or being sad will not really do me any good. I still write Cody a letter everyday, which does help.

Cody is doing really well. He received his dog tags and his name on his Camo uniforms this past week. He also has received his dress blues. Last week when I talked to him he was pretty sick, but now he is doing a lot better. Going to Texas from Ohio was tuff on his sinuses! He says everyone is sick. Besides being homesick {missing me} he seems to be doing well! Which really helps keep me going. I plan to make him a photo album of pictures of us from the 7 years we have been together. This week I did hang out with some friends which helped lift my spirits. BUT at the end of the day, I just want my husband. So, a word of advise: Do not take the people in your life for granted. Tell them you love them everyday! It is so easy to get wrapped up in our daily routines that we don't stop and take a moment to think about what really matters. {The people we LOVE} I started a scrapbook this week for old black and white family photos. I also spent a lot of time picking out things to wear to Cody's graduation! Any excuse to buy new clothes sounds good to me! LOL

Outfits for Cody's Graduation

With Cody's graduation ceremony approaching quickly, I have been buying a few cute things to wear. I don't want to be overly dressy but want to look nice. Considering that he will probably be wearing his dress blues everyday and there will be tons of pictures of us taken together, I kinda wanted to match him.
I bought the navy blue dress yesterday. I plan to purchase a white shrug to wear over it to make the outfit more conservative looking. I think the navy & white striped wedges would look perfect and would match all the other things I have bought to wear! I love the little simple heart necklace from Forever 21. Here are two of the tops I purchased.

The red top is really cute with jeans. The striped top is really light weight and comfortable. Can you tell I am ready to see Cody? Can you tell I am excited to go to his graduation? For now I just continue to daydream and plan.

FLICKR GROUP

I joined this Flickr group yesterday because I thought it was adorable and funny. I love looking at cute photos of Chihuahuas! Here is a cute picture of Chloe that I posted in the group pool. I love her black whiskers!
Chloe hates sweaters! Somehow she always gets out of them. I did manage to snap this cute photo of her in this sweater...
Chloe loves to JUMP...

4 Movies

1. The Painted Veil - I really like Edward Norton and I really enjoyed Naomi Watts in this movie. It was a romantic movie but it was also very sad. 3 Stars

2. Revolutionary Road - I hated this movie. The acting for really good, but the story itself made you feel like you were on a emotional Roller Coaster while you watched it! It ended bad also! 1 Star

3. After.Life - Very strange movie with Christina Ricci in it. I like her, but she was naked the whole time! I didn't really understand the story either. It was a movie about death and it was very morbid. 2.5 Stars

4. Someone Like You - Very cute and funny movie. Again it was a love story but this movie actually had a happy ending! 3 Stars

WEEK 4

The end of week 4 means Cody is now half way done! Yes, it is exciting. I did get to talk to him this past Saturday. Sadly this time we were both pretty stressed. He is sick and was really tired. He sounded really down and all I wanted was to be able to give him a big hug. That is what is making this so hard. I did mail him a picture last week and he had already gotten it. I was pretty happy about that and so was he!!

I am trying really hard to keep my spirits up. I have been spending a lot of time with my parents. The photos above are Mario Sunshine for Game Cube. I tried to play it but got really bored with it. Mail from Disney, "They miss us" apparently! LOL Well, they are just going to have to wait to see us! We may or may not be able to go this year. I bought some cute Camo slippers! I started playing Sim City on Super Nintendo. I enjoy playing the old school video games. I would say overall this week has been the hardest. Work has me stressed out and I am missing my husband like crazy. I finally cleaned my sterling heart necklace that Cody bought me years ago. I am wearing it everyday. Cody also informed me that he is going to school in California. That means he will be even further away!!! Hopefully I can get some cheap flights!
