Just and Update, I have been getting more letters which of course make me happy. He sounds exactly the same so the Marines hasn't changed him too much, although he seems a lot more serious about life in general. Oh and I cannot get enough of meeting new people (girlies) with Marine boyfriends, or military bf's in general, which I've been meeting a ton of them and they are amazing. Thanks girls!
Today
So yesterday I got a call that I have been dreading. I might sound dramatic to some but hear me out, here's the story. Before Timothy left to boot camp, we decided to do things to enjoy our last days together, one of those things was to go and make our own pottery! This is something I have been dying to do and was so excited to do it. The closest place that we found was in Connecticut, which I didn't mind at all because I would give up my bald headed bird to live in CT (omg just kidding). So the day before we were all scheduled to go to the private pottery lesson, they called and said they had to cancel and if they could reschedule it for next week. Timothy briefly explained that he couldn't next week because he would have already left for Marines boot camp. The conversation quickly ended, and we were both pretty upset, especially because the horseback riding trail ride that we had scheduled for the same day had also canceled on us. Within about 5 minutes we get a call back from the pottery place and they told us there's no way they could turn down a Marine, especially because the owner comes from a Marines family. We were so happy and surprised. The class was amazing, we had a private lesson with the owner herself and literally made bowls out of big chunks of clay, water and a spinning wheel.
There's Timothy working very hard
Here's the outcome
For our first time I think it came out pretty good
Okay, so in order to give it amazing color and a nice glazed look to it, the owner told me she'd call me back in about two weeks so that I can go pick it up. Timothy of course would be in boot camp, so I'd have to go all by myself and go get them, which to me was very depressing and as much as I wanted to see the bowls, I was not looking forward to that. So I brought along an amazing friend of mine, and went. Thank God for friends, I don't know how in the world i would have felt if I had to go alone. Am i being dramatic?
So because we were already there I figured I should take my friend to Crumbs cupcake bakery (Timothy and I went the day that we did the pottery, and he loves it). I love this place, There's one in the city and a few in CT,
so I had to go.

On a last note, I have been feeling very, very, very down lately. The more days that pass the harder it gets. But I have no choice but to suck it up and deal. One thing that has been making me strangely happy is this song, it from Brazil, and it has a cutesy dance to it that I think everyone should try to find on YouTube and learn it, it's fun! My sister and I have been learning it and the words, and since we are Spanish we can understand most of it, if you cant, definitively look up the meaning it helps make the dance a whole lot spicier. :) The girls from Brazil cannot get enough of it, you'll see what I mean.

Love the pottery. My son and I painted pottery (he's a little to young to make his own) and I have been meaning to go pick it up... I hope they still have it because it's been 2 months...
