Well, That Was a Nice Dream

So, yesterday afternoon I said goodbye to Joshua. Again. I see him again in July for our wedding. Six months of separation. I shed no tears yesterday. Sheri and Brian did, but I did not. I bawled my eyes out a few days after he came home, because I didn't want to say goodbye again. No one ever does.

I think I didn't shed tears because I'm detached from it almost. Like a dream. I dreamt of Joshua being next to me so many times during BMT and Tech School. And then I woke up and he wasn't there, and that saddened me. It felt the same way. I saw him, and woke up without him next to me. Is that a healthy coping mechanism? No. But I did cry, just two weeks prior to the actual goodbye. Perhaps I processed it already?

On a different note, I'm not sure if I've mentioned this in a previous post or not, but Joshua knows where we're heading to after South Korea: England. I am STOKED for England. But at this point, I wouldn't care if his next station was in Texas so long as it meant I was with him. And I can go! To England! Ireland is RIGHT THERE. And London! Paris is a 5 hour drive (I think we have to take a ferry? Or maybe there's a bridge, I don't even know). Oh I am super excited...! This time next year I'll be in England! Or getting ready to go, but nonetheless, 12 more months! WOO!

We'll also be living off base to get the English experience (as well as get extra money for rent and such). The small town we'll be staying at has an old Catholic church that I want to visit. Joshua said they wouldn't like him (he was raised Protestant and isn't too religious now). But it's the historic feel for me. Which is why I want to go to London, Paris and Ireland. And I wouldn't mind going to some 'haunted spots.' I personally believe in ghosts and I would love to experience stuff.

So yeah... I also start school next Monday. I changed majors: psychology. I want to either be a CPS social worker or counselor. I am super excited for that. I need things to do to preoccupy my time besides waiting for a two hour window that Joshua and I will have to talk to each other.

I also need to start my wedding planning. Blah!

Joshua and I got a car! I'm not picky, but he has a dream car: Mitsubishi Eclipse. So we got one! I get it for a year (muhahaha).

So that's been my life the last three weeks: enjoying Joshua's company, bouncing between people's houses, and enjoying our new car together. I also got my license, so yeah, I'm legal!
