My boyfriend fights for your freedom, what do you do?

Mr. R called me today at 6:45 pm to tell me that he was boarding the plane heading to Iraq. This was one of my saddest moments. All day long he texted me, telling me things such as don't forget me, and how much he loves me. He told me that he didn't plan to love me as much as he does and that everytime he is with me it is harder for him to let me go. It made me cry more. Only at the end does he understand. Why are men so slow?!?! Or is it better to ask why are they so dense? Perhaps while he is over there he will have several other revelations, and come back with a new perspective. I do love him bunches, and I plan to stand by his side, patiently waiting.
On a better note, Sarah...I loved your blog today. It made me smile to hear about your college experience. I am impressed...actuary classes, german...you are my idol. Please continue to keep us ppl in the loop.
Alyssa- Thank you for your support. As a military wife I know you understand how much this deployment sucks.
God be with you all!!

He's Gone

I just got done spending the weekend with Mr. R. It was wonderful!!! The hardest part of this entire weekend wasn't the loss of sleep or the making arrangements for me to leave town...it was leaving him this morning. I am so going to miss him. I know that so many other women have gone what I am going through. Please everyone pray that God wrap him in His hands and protect him. 351 days and counting.

6 days and counting

Hey all...just 6 days until Mr. R will be home for the weekend it will be my last time to see him before he leaves for Iraq. I ask that everyone continues to pray for our troops over there. I mean we don't have to agree with the President but we should remain supportive of the people who are there or going there. I decided not to continue to work on my Masters in Math this semester. My heart just isn't into it, and what would be the point if I don't have passion for it. I did get selected to present at the State Conference of Adult Educators, so that is kinda special. I would love to tour the country presenting my research to people, helping them to teach mathematics better. Perhaps someday. This is the first time I have presented at a State wide conference so I am going to work my butt off making sure that I have worked all the kinks out of my presentation.
Students start back next week. I don't know if I am ready...but ready or not here they come. Oh crap I just remember that I was supposed to do something with a friend of mine tonight. Damn I suck at being a friend. I really haven't done anything exciting today. I went to the store and bought some veggies because I have decided to start working out and getting in shape. I mean my man will be gone for a year I need something to help me get rid of the stress. Plus, the college let's me go for free, so no more excuses.
hmmmm can't think of anything else....have a good weekend!!

August 11, 2007

School is starting soon and the students will be returning. Where did my summer go?!?!? I think that this summer wasn't as fun because I worked so much, and Mr. R wasn't here. He is getting ready to leave for Iraq, he is set to leave in September. He mentioned that he might get to come home in late August, and I am patiently waiting and praying that he does. I would love to see him before he is gone for a whole 15 months. I am so going to miss him, I already do.
I am trying to decide whether I want to enroll in yet another Graduate level math course this fall. They scare me so, I would like to believe that I am smart but I just do not have well developed logic skills. The only bonus is that I am not adjuncting at Cowley this fall, which I am sad about, but since my class didn't make (it only had 4 students). I can't adjunct in the evening because I am working full time in adult education. I have to remember I can't do everything, even if I try. I started my graduate classes at Kstate, and I am finishing up my other grad classes at SC. Matter of fact I have a 20 page paper due tomorrow. Go ME !! Not really... I am not looking forward to it. But I know it needs to be done. So that is what my whole day tomorrow will be. Ain't nothing better than procastination. ACK!
Little E is looking forward to going to private school this year. I think it was a good decision on my part. But you want to know something sad, his dad and step mom have not called all summer to see him. I mean...what is up with that? I can't imagine not having my son around. But whatever, I am sure Matt will regret it and probably blame me.
Oh I have a surprise for Little E, that I haven't told him. I am going to take him to a UT game this fall. He loves them so much, and I know he will be totally stoked to see them live in person.
