Well so much for that.
I told you last week that I was planning to see my sailor in about a month. I said I was flying down to Goose Creek to see him and staying with his married friends. Not anymore. Anthony couldn't get that many days in a row of special liberty so the whole thing is called off. I'm super bummed about it. I really need some time with my sailor. Just me and him and no one else. By some time I mean like 3 days of just us together. I guess that just isn't one of God's plans. It was hard enough as it was to find flights and come to grips with the hundreds I would spend just to get down there, now I have to grasp that I can't have him all to myself. I know it sounds selfish to butt out his family. I don't really want to, either. I like his family and I miss seeing them. I just want a few days. I'll take a couple, but I have to have one. At least one with just us.
Why am I sharing him with his family you ask? Well, my dear readers, there is a new plan. Anthony decided to take leave and head home as soon as the semester is over. He didn't put in for it yet and hopefully there won't be any problems. We came to the consensus that it would be more cost effective for him to come up here. He would take the long drive on Thursday and get here sometime Friday afternoon. Perfect timing, since I get off work at three pm on Fridays. Then the plan is to steal him away on Saturday and head to the shore. It'll be car show weekend on the boardwalk! We'll stay over one night and head back Sunday. It's just under two hours to get there so we'll be home in no time. Then we'll see our moms for Mother's Day. I told him I would take off on Monday so we could hang out but I can't take off anymore days this time, especially if we're planning to go to Maine in July. Depending on how much leave he has he will stay through the week, but I have a feeling he'll be leaving on Thursday to be back in Goose Creek for Friday. Whatever happens I'll be happy that he'll be home where I can get to him in twenty minutes or less.
It's been particularly difficult being away from Anthony lately. I think it's because my best bud left for the Navy (and is probably getting his butt kicked at RTC as we speak). Now I'm pretty much alone. No one else I talk to knows Anthony and me like my buddy did. He could always make me feel better. Even though he thought it unattractive when I cried he would still let me lean on him when I needed to. I am adjusting rather quickly, though, thank God. How many times can a girl see off her good friends before she looses her marbles?
As for what Anthony is up to the situation remains the same. Oh, and remember when I said he moved again? He only got another room because the air conditioning broke in his other one. He liked it being broken, though. He's like me in that neither of us really like air conditioning. Its always too cold when its on. Anyway, Anthony has just been getting frustrated that he is still just floating at NNPTC. He has said before he either wants to be deployed or go home. This busy work and duty to fill up his time is getting old fast.
I just miss him. Like. A lot. Hopefully I'll see him in 3 weeks!
On a side note, I was recently informed that some people don't appreciate me posting on the Navy FB groups about my blog. I also learned that some people have a problem with what I write about my sailor. One person even called it "offensive". I was so caught off guard by that. I can't imagine what could be that bad. If anyone would like to fill me in or leave opinions, please help me out by commenting or messaging. Thank you everyone.
I've been keeping up with your blog and nothing you've said about your sailor has been "offensive". I'm sorry you couldn't see your sailor but just think that everything happens for a reason. Keep your head up things will get better!
