It's been 1 week and 3 days since I saw Jake...and it feels like forever! I miss him a lot. But I know that he is doing something that is benefitting both of us and it will all be great in the end.
I have stayed busy while he is gone, one of the most important things to do when someone you love and miss is gone, and it has worked out pretty good. I have cleaned out our "second" bedroom and packed up all his stuff for the move we'll have next spring. I've organized all of our movies and CD's (and there are a lot!), and I have organized all of our stuff that is boxed up downstairs so my mom doesnt have a heart attack about the mess. I have realized I am a packrat! I have kept things from a wrapper to a chocolate bar to magazines I have had since I was 15. All because they "meant something". It felt good to throw away stuff (and yes it is all STUFF) to packing things up and realizing one day I will have an apartment, and that one day is not too far away. :)
Mom is trying to keep me busy and happy. Sunday was the worst day for me and she helped me out by just talking to me. She told me to watch out for sundays because they are the hardest. Of course, I already kind of know this because of the mission, I feel like though that my mom and I have yet another thing in common with having our spouses gone for work.
Jake called on tuesday. We talked for about 5 mintues, during which I was rushing through the house trying to find my moms ID card to give him the digits on it and also having my brother in law call on his cell to get my dads while I had my house phone in my other hand calling his parents. Oh the joy of military life and having to have things Right Away. It was so good to hear his voice though, we were able to talk a little between the rushingness. He told me it's so crazy there and insane. I can only imagine. I hope he is doing good. He kept asking me if I was ok, well of course I'm ok. I'm not the one getting yelled at the whole day. After saying I love you about 20 times I heard a man yelling in the background for them to get off the phone. Ah! I hate people yelling so I got all flustered and told Jake to get off the phone before he gets yelled at more. That was how that conversation went..it was pretty nice. It sure did make me miss him so much more when I talked to him.
I'm taking this a day at a time. Today should be a great day because my dad is coming home. So should this weekend because Kyle, Whitney, and Pepper are coming home too. I'm looking forward to having them around for Christmas.
