the little things in life that make me smile

Hello! Its been a while since I have update.  I have been super busy with family, friends and work.  The last week I have been laid up on the couch with ice. I subbed in for Mike and Meg's soccer league on Friday nights. Little did I know it was going to be my last for a little while. I rolled my ankle pretty good and left me with swelling and bruising. I did take pictures but they don't do it justice. Lets just keep that for your mind to wonder. It was huge, gross and not pleasant looking.  I am wearing a cam walker boot and hobbling around.

Since I haven't been on in a while, I have Skyped with Jesse quite a few times. The little things that he does and says makes me smile.  I have learned that the poems and things that say girls wait by their phone or computer. Yup, its true. The days I know he is going to try to call, I am patiently awaiting in sweats and a t-shirt. I block the entire day off since I am not sure when he is going to call. The days I have missed him I was super bummed and not a pleasant girl to be around.  He is doing great and loving his job.  He says some days are longer than others with paperwork and things to get organized for his guys.

I learned some things about the military, some of which I should of known but didn't realize it until he told me.  I felt like a blonde, not smart person when I saw a gentleman wearing a sweatshirt with OEF and Afghanistan.  I asked Jesse want OEF stands for and he looked at me like I was dumb. I should of known, and as soon as he told me I realized it. Operation Enduring Freedom.  I felt so stupid.  I related the movie Ground Hogs day to Iraq and read more about bunkers and what they are used for.  Simple things that I should of known, but I wasn't putting two and two together. But don't worry, Jesse gave me my fair share of jokes about it. I can always count on him.

I am going to Florida in June and I am so excited to have a tripped planned.  Work is work, stinks but pays the bills.   I did have one bad day last week at work where I wasn't thinking straight and just wanted to cuddle with him and forget everything. Funny how things work out because that night I got a message from Jesse and I was all smiles!

ITS THE LITTLE THINGS HE DOES TO MAKE ME SMILE! :-)
