Day 10

I've made it 10 days! 

A lot of that has to do with the fact that I have been packing up my life and moving across the country. 

Today I am in Utah.

My mom flew in on Tuesday the 15th, and Wednesday we spent the day packing everything else into my storage unit. 

Thursday came and the inspector showed up and after saying goodbye to some of the most AMAZING people I have ever met, my mom and I were off. 

The first night we were able to make it to Ohio. We probably could have gone further if we hadn't gone to bed at 3:30 AM the night before. 

The second day we made it to Iowa. That wasn't a bad drive either. Just a lot of trees. 

The third day came and we drove through Nebraska. We wanted to stop at the temple there and do a session, but the session we would have made was at 4:00 and we weren't in church clothes, so we will do that when we drive back to DC this October. So we drove all the way to Wyoming instead. Nebraska was horrible though. It felt as if we were going through a tornado with how fast the wind was blowing and how hard the rain was coming down. I thought that I was going to witness yet another natural disaster. 

Today we drove through Wyoming to home. Wyoming is the most boring state in the whole USA and I can say this because I have been in 80% of the states and I'm pretty sure the ones I haven't been in are bare and brown. Wow, it is so boring.

Today we got here around 4:00 PM and I have yet to unpack all my stuff. Instead I have looked at my Paparazzi inventory and sat around watching Glee. This is what happens when you get home and realize that your other half isn't with you. 

Jake is doing really well. Things are starting to get busier in his training and he will soon be leaving the USA for the desert. Im nervous, but I know he will be ok. Right now we can text and talk on his cell phone because he is still in training, but as soon as that stops I know life is going to get a heck of a lot worse. My phone consists of him. Him calling me, texting me, and pretty much everything else you can do on a phone with me. :( 

I miss my best friend so much. He is always there no matter what for me and he is always protecting me. I miss him joking around about everything and then getting really serious about other things. He is my everything and I really do miss him. I love him and I am so proud of him. He makes me so happy with who he is. He didn't join because of the college or the benefits, he joined because he has wanted to be in the military since he was 5 years old. He joined because he wanted to protect what has already been given to him. And for that I couldn't be prouder. 

Tomorrow starts a new day, and hopefully I can get myself on a schedule where the time flies by because that is what I need it to do.
