I talked to Derek today on the phone, and I must must say he sounds so different. and so far away at that. I dont know why, but it made me so sad, it broke me. I just wish he was back home already, its been 2 months and it feels like a lot longer than that. For the most part he is doing good, hes out to sea right now heading back to Japan, he'll be there for one day then hes off to Korea with his unit. I didnt do much today. did a grip of homework, cleaned and went to the gym. Not too much going on in th life of Bernadette at the moment.
In other news, my sisters are coming to visit me for spring break which I am so ready for. I need some interaction with people!! haha, I'm ready to hit the beach already. :-)
I miss you hubby, not too much to say today. I love you so much..

He got to touch a Liger!?!
Well, I talked to Derek today! He called me a 0400 this morning and it was well worth it.. Lately I been so bothered with him that I havent given him a chance to really tell me how he is doing and whats going on with him. I figure if I stay mad it will get me no where.. ( and I dont even remember what I was mad for!). I went 3 weeks without talking to him on the phone, we had been emailing each other regualarly, but it just wasnt the same to me.. hearing his voice made me more at ease... and I slept better knowing that he is and will be doing well.
The unit just finished the Operation Cobra Gold training in Thailand. Which means the are now headed back to Oki, drop half the battalion off and his unit got picked to go do some training in Korea! which also means, they are no longer on the USS HARPERS FERRY any more! they are now on the USS ESSEX. which sucks cause I bought shirts that said. "USS HARPERS FERRY, DOC GONZO" lol. so I guess that means I get to buy some new shirts!. I didnt even get a chance to wear the ones I ordered because I literally just got it last night!.. haha talk about sucky.
Derek told me that he went to the Thailand zoo, got to pet a Tiger... (I told him it would have been cool if he got to pet a Liger.. lol).. got to play with an Elephant and he got to ride it... which is pretty awesome, the zoo's out there rock... you dont get to do any of that stuff stateside. :-) He's been buying and buying an unbelievable amount of stuff that we technically dont neccesarily need right now.. he bought a muy thai outfit... (yes the whole get up).. says he is going to train when he gets back... ju jitsu too.. we will see about that.. I think its pointless, but I guess its worth it if thats what he wants.
I dont have much to say tonight, I pray that he calls again today.. I know they are loading on the new ship, so I dont think I'll get a call. I miss you babe-o and I love you so much!

I've decided
So, I've decided to give this a try. Something to keep me busy well the hubby is away. Its midnight here and I'm wide awake. I've found myself suffering from Insomnia. Derek is 19 hours ahead of me, and I have come to the conclusion that I should sleep while he sleeps and be awake while he is awake. haha not such a great idea. cause I am loosing my mind. Today marks our 40 day mark. We have about 180 days to go of this madness. Which, in all actuality, time seems to be flying by but I don't like saying that cause out of no where the days will be longer and the nights will be lonelier.
I also found myself doing so much more online shopping. Especially for the wedding. We have been buying and buying for this wedding! and its great and all I just wish it was time already. we have until October 31st. which is so far away, but its kinda good because we have a lot accomplished already. The reception is paid for, food is paid for, invitations are done, wedding dress is bought, bridesmaids dresses picked out, flowers are picked out. so much stuff is done already.. I don't think Derek thought that I would have so much done so soon, haha I need to slow down because I have so many more months alone that I need to keep myself busy!
