it's been one month since i dropped this man off to be taken away on a long white bus to a far off place.
this month has been filled with new friends, full nights of sleep (i have a hard time sleeping with jon in our full bed...call me crazy), lots of work out sessions, a new internship, new recipes and phone calls and emails from my husband.
it's actually been a lot easier than i expected, i think we both prepared ourselves really well.
jon loves what he is doing.
he likes not having a toilet.
he likes having supplies get dropped from helicopters because they are in such a remote place.
he likes sleeping on a cot in a tent with dirt floors.
he likes doing the whole camp out thing with the guys.
i like having a house to myself.
i like doing laundry for one.
i like having the same income that we used for two people, only being used for one.
and i like being in a position where i HAVE to make friends.
isn't that funny?
i do miss getting a goodnight kiss and pushing jon off of me in the night then laughing about it in the morning.
i miss being excited during the day for him to get off work.
i miss sitting next to him in church and seeing how cute he is with our primary kids.
i miss cooking together, cuddling together, and laughing together.
i even miss fight cleaning together.
cleaning by yourself with no one to fight with is SO uneventful.
all in all, its been a good month. i'm excited to keep pushing onward for another 6 months until he gets home.
i've been fine without him, but i do love life with my best friend.

This is really great and encouraging to hear, and I am SO glad you're doing so well! :) I understand EXACTLY what you mean about having a full bed! haha. My husband's out in Arizona training right now and since he's been gone I've slept better than I've ever slept!
This is so sweet! I love that photo :) Bittersweet but adorable.
yay, one month down! Love this post...y'all have a great attitude! That will make the time fly. Isn't it funny that the guys actually love all of that stuff? No toilet? no thank you!!
You have the best outlook on life. Sounds like you're happy & enjoying everyday, which is what matters!!
And the "I miss pushing jon off of me in the night then laughing about it in the morning." made me laugh, because I do the same thing to Nick! Haha. Oops? I can't take responsibility for sleepy-Kelly's actions (am I dreaming I'm pushing him, or really doing it? Who knows..) :)
hey i feel like a super creeper but sometimes i look at your blog and just think you are the cutest. the end.
I'm a new follower and I love your blog. I just married my husband who is in the airforce in june and am totally clueless about the military lifestyle. We are both LDS too! Before we got engaged we knew he was going to afghanistan probably 2 weeks after we got married. We were prepared for that. He went to combat skills training and then 3 weeks in his assignment got cancelled! He would have left last month too. Instead, I had to pack up all my stuff in California and have it shipped to his new base in LOUISIANA. We just checked in to base lodging last night. I'm too scared to leave the hotel room lol. I have a best friend who lives in San Diego. If you ever have any questions about he area feel free to email me k:0)
