Loads of it

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.

Feel Lovely,

Hello there love

So we are in contact :) I got letters from him and I feel soooo happy. I've gotten five envelopes and a piece of his belt which was a sweet touch. The letters helped a lot but they break my heart because even in his last letter he has yet to get any of my letters to him and he was really saddened by it, I could tell. I'm sending letter like cray I think I'm on my 7th one about to write and send the 8th. I just always want his name to be called at mail call. I've been adding puzzles and mazes and word searches in his letters lol I hope that helps him. I read all of his letters to me almost every day memorizing each word, it's all I have of him right now. Then I lay them all out and stare at it completely floored by the fact that we're actually doing this that we actually together made this decision, it's hard it I know it will be worth it

Trying to stay lovely, Stephanie

WARNING: if you don't want to hear me go on and on about how going through this is hard please feel free to stop reading lol,it's okay no hard feelins. But if you don't mind, well thank you darling! Okay so I started doing this blog in order to get all of my feelings out there and in order to have him be able to come and look at all of this when he comes back. Also I really wanted to be able to connect with others going through whatim going through. Which is hard because not many people are and not many people talk,I get tons of views but no convo, it's okay though. so I also looked for another site that was more specific and had a lot more conversation in it. Which is what i need, to talk to others who have gone through it with their boyfriends or are still going through it. I found this amazing place where I've already Come in contact with a handful of people who are very willing to talk to me and are also recently going through their boyfriend being in bootcamp. If you need that extra support from people who understand take a look: You can talk to me on there too! http://marinefamilynetwork.com/profile/STEPHANIEANNERS

Be lovely, Stephanie

Oh Mr. Sun

I'm blogging like crazy! Sorry! I just have so many thoughts, too many thoughts. 

I cannot wait any longer for Summer to hurry up and get here. I'm dying to get a bathing suit on, sun bathe, jump in some pools, and swim in a few oceans. Am I the only one? Even though I'll be enjoying most of the Summer alone, since Timothy will either be in BC or MOS school, it's okay, I'll make the best of it with some amigas. 

Be lovely,

Stephanie

Some new things

So what's up for today ?

I've been going nuts looking at my laundry basket get bigger and fuller. School and work dominate my life, so when I get home I don't have time to clean in detail, but today is completely committed to just that, cleaning and putting away all my clothes. Oh! Yesterday I went shopping and got this cutesy romper and crazy dramatic ring. what do you think ? 

Be lovely,

Stephanie

Finally Something!

Hi, So I am so exited, last night while finishing up a super important and dreadful essay,my phone rings at 9:18pm. No, it wasn't Timothy, it was his mom. She told me she finally got his address and wanted to give it to me. I was so happy and grateful that she remembered and even thought to tell me. She said

"I know how he thinks, I know that when he sent us the address that he was hoping that we would give it to you, so now when he gets a letter from you hell know we're letting you know as much as we know. Write him a lot so that he feels better"

That made me feel so much better. And she was right, knowing him, he was definitely stressing if I would get the address too. Im also excited because I also got to talk to her about the flights and going to NC, Parris Island to go to his graduation! Super excited for that. Cant wait to fly back home to NY with him. It is far away but at least now I get to write to him, and hear from him. I feel that the time is going to go by faster now. Let's hope ! So Ive already been writing him letters and when I woke up this morning I immediately went straight for the post office, gave them in and bought stamps.

From experience, do the letters really help time go by faster or does it just add on to the waiting game? 

 Be even more lovely darling,
