until I get to see CHRIS!! I'm so excited! I'm pumped up and ready to go!
I am in Valdosta visiting my very best friends in the world, Leisha and Jon, to celebrate Halloween and it was supposed to be only a stop on my way to Texas, but as it turns out, I've got to go back to Cartersville to pick up some stuff for Chris that I didn't know he needed, but oh well! As long as I get to see him soon I'm OK!
The fall is such a beautiful season, and I've got a bunch of gorgeous pictures! There are pics of myself at the park, some pretty trees, myself in my costumes for our church activities, and Leisha and Jon. So here you are...
And everything is topsy turvy! Chris graduates from Basic Training next Thursday and I'm heading out for a road trip on Tuesday to go and see him! His parents are the only other people that will be there, and they are only staying for a day, so Chris and I will have the whole weekend to ourselves! WOO HOO! And then I'm leaving that Monday to come back home D: I know I'll be sad to come home, but I think it will be so much better having seen him, and getting to talk to him on a daily basis, instead of hardly getting to hear from him at all like it is now. It really stinks, and I really feel alone at times, but I know that this will be a blessing to us in the future. I know that we're made for each other, and that there could never be any two more perfect for each other...
I finally got to talk to Chris! Since I missed that last call, my phone has not left my side, and it finally paid off!! He called last night while I was in Biology. I got to talk to him for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately, what he had to say was not as exciting. He's got Bronchitis, and they say it is turning into Pneumonia. He said they only give each person ONE MINUTE to eat their entire meal, and that they all get treated like dogs D; How depressing is that? He also said that church is really impersonal. He said that after being treated like a robot all week long he wants to be able to feel the personal message that church should bring. But he also said that he reads and prays constantly, and that is what gets him through. And getting letters from home. He says he's made one really good friend that he can lean on, so that's great. And more good news...he gets to call again THIS Saturday, as in TOMORROW!! YEAH! I'm so excited.
Still no new pictures, but just had to share the good news!
At least that's how it seems. It has rained almost every day since Chris left(except today, oddly enough) and it has been a direct reflection of my mood. I'm not exactly happy when he's away, and not being able to talk to him makes it even worse! I have been getting my hopes up lately that a letter has been on its way, but I have yet to get one. I got something yesterday that he'd sent, but it was only information on his graduation and plane tickets. I was so disapointed! And I really got my hopes up today(i think it had something to do with the sunshine...)that I would have a letter waiting for me in the mailbox, but alas there was only a 'Kids Eat Free' coupon for Cici's Pizza. And it's incredibly depressing to talk about, but Chris got to call home on Sunday night, but my phone was on vibrate and I missed the call. Well actually I missed all 3 calls. He had 3 chances to call and I missed them all! It was absolutely depressing and I cried for hours. And the weather has only added to it. The rain has been unforgiving, and I've mainly stayed indoors. Ont he upside, the school was flooded(temporarily) so I did get to miss a few classes.
According to the information that Chris sent me, his graduation and the events that go with it are scheduled for November 5th through the 8th. I've been keeping a kind countdown in my head, and it's only about 44 days until I get to see him again. That's not entirely comforting, but I guess it's better than 45 days, and it sounds better than when I say it's 6 weeks! I keep writing to him. I usually write once, sometimes twice a day. I can not wait until I get to see him again!!!
I guess that's all for now. I don't really have any new pictures to post, so maybe next time!!
is AWESOME! We are having a blast...or at least we were. Chris left for Air Force basic training this past Monday, so I'm all alone D: But the wedding was amazing, and beautiful and wonderful, and the most wonderful day of my life. I'll post some pictures and then start in a little more on day-to-day life.
One of my favorites! <3
The BEAUTIFUL Nashville, TN Temple where we were SO Blessed to be married for time and all eternity!!
Katherine just LOVES getting married! lol
Another one of my favorites!
Brothers-in-Law! That's Fabian Zender (Kyrie's Husband), my hub, and my oldest brother Khris!
My Family, Kyrie, Fabian, Khris, Fran, Me, Chris, and my mom Pam!
My Extended Family(The Jensens) with soem of our ward family, the Flemings, and my actual family! This is everyone that came to the temple to see us be married!
I love that bouquet! I made it all by myself...OK OK Kyrie helped me a little ;D
But enough with wedding pictures!
Chris is in Lackland AFB, TX for basic training for the Air Force. He signed up in April and left this past Monday for 2 months! And then after he is finished we will be moving out to Texas. First we will be in San Antonio for 2 months and then we will be moving to Witchita Falls for the next 6 or 7 months I think! But I am so excited to be starting this new chapter in our lives where we are on our own, working and getting things done to support ourselves and live a happy and full life!
That's all I'm going to post for now, it's late! But I promise they will be more frequent than they have been!
and as they do, I seem to feel more peace and comfort than the day before. I'm less stressed with the wedding approaching than I have been since I started planning and getting everything together. I don't know why, but I feel like everything is going to work out perfectly!
There isn't much I have left to do. There are just a few more things for the reception, like food and such, but other than that, I need to get my dress altered ASAP, and find shoes, because I haven't been able to find any that I really really love yet. So Kyrie is going with me to get my dress fixed on Thursday, and hopefully I'll be able to find some shoes soon, so I can cross that off my list! And then there is also the matter of renting a tux for Chris, so I'll have to look into that also. I might have him do the tux with the matching vest and tie, or maybe just the tux and I'm going to look into finding him a really nice tie that matches our colors.
As far as school and where we are going to live, well, we've looked at some apartments in Rome, GA and also some here in Cartersville. I'm going to be going to school the whole summer, yes you read right, the WHOLE SUMMER! So I have one class in June in Cartersville, and one in July in Rome, because hopefully this apartment in Rome that we love will work out, and I will only have to commute for a week or so. And then, once Chris gets out of Basic Training, it looks like we are headed to TEXAS!! And I am pretty excited about that! Nothing is 100% yet, but I am hoping that that is how things will turn out.
Well, some pretty big news to start off...Chris and I are getting married! We're getting married July 10, in the Nashville, TN Temple! I'm so excited. Time is flying by and everything is coming together with our plans. Chris also joined the Air Force, so he will be going to boot camp/basic training at the beginning of August, so that's kind of stinky, actually really stinky, but everything is working together. And we are being blessed so much for making the right decisions we've made.
since we updated! Life is going as usual lately. I'm at work and school almost everyday and Chris is working full time. With our schedules being as hectic as they are, it's hard to spend a lot of time together, but we spend every moment together that we can, even if it's only for an hour or two a day. Also some big news is that our best friends Leisha and Jon are getting married! How exciting. I'll try to update with some pictures of everything soon!
