I'm trying to update this on a weekly basis, but life has been crazy.(Shocking, I know)
I --finally-- have a job! I'm working part-time at Babies R Us starting hopefully next week. I have a decent pay rate and they're okay with my availability, which is even better.
C has leave in a few weeks, and I'm very excited!! He's so sweet to me, and apologizes and makes up for things that aren't even that big of a deal to me, but he feels bad because they hurt my feelings a little bit.
One thing that I absolutely love about our relationship is how committed we both are to making sure that it's happy and healthy. For us to be married by my church, we have to read two books: Fit to be Tied(Bill and Lynne Hybels) and the famed Five Love Languages. I've read them both, and C is working on it now. We've committed to each other to have 2 date nights a month(You know, once we even live in the same STATE as each other), and we've both agreed that divorce is absolutely not an option for us unless there's abuse, or if we have exhausted every other option. We've promised to be open with each other with how we're feeling or if one or the other of us is feeling unappreciated. I honestly have the utmost faith in our relationship, and I'm along for this crazy ride the Military will put us on.
All that said, the planning is chugging along. I have a friend designing our invites and related papergoods, and she's got really fantastic ideas. I love that I can give her a few ideas, and she'll run with them in a way that I'm comfortable with. :) I have an idea on favors, but we'll see how C feels about him, since I suppose he's supposed to have a say in all this. ;)
T-17 months and counting,
J.
