In Real Life

Yawn.....

The heat doesn’t stop! 89 degrees and rising! It’s so hot out lately… I wish I could lie out by the pool instead of work! Ha ha! At work the load has finally lightened, which is a relief. I still have my own side projects I’m working on and the Maple Grove Days Art Fair is fast approaching. That is going to be a lot of work for me, but it’s fun and exciting work. Last weekend was pretty boring for me, cleaning, laying out by the pool. Went out with some friends, shopped with my mama and had dinner with the fam on Sunday. Nothing too exciting going on for me though. I can’t believe next week is the Fourth of July! I have no plans figured out yet for next week. Kell was ‘supposed’ to leave Iraq today. I have no idea if he did or not. He said he would call but no word from him, so I’m assuming he didn’t have time to call, unless he calls tonight. My life for the next 4 weeks in UP IN THE AIR! I’m just floating along! I have to take it day by day, until I hear word about what’s going to happen with him. He may come to Wisconsin and even though he’ll be 3 hours from home he thinks they might fly him straight to Mississippi, without a break to come home. He has a 2-week training, which starts on July 13th. It’s really hard make plans. I thought he was for sure coming home in 2 weeks but nothing in the Army is for sure. The Army is this way, I won’t know until the last minute as to when he’ll be home. He may be coming home in 2 weeks or it might be 5 weeks. I may be flying to Mississippi. If he gets a break in Mississippi, he wants to fly me down there. Ah, so many emotions, and so far away… all by myself. I don’t know if I could do it. I’ll have to think about it. Today I’m tired of it all. Tired of waiting, tired of getting my hopes up only for them to be let down again, and again, and again. I was super excited him coming home… but right now I’m kind of feeling disappointed it might not be for awhile.
I started a painting last night… I’ll upload a picture once I finish it… tonight? Tomorrow?

Hi, I'm Mari, I write the Called to Serve blog, I'm sure it's really hard waiting to see someone you love and miss, but sometimes "building ourselves up and then being let down" is just a way for us to grow stronger. My Best Friend is also at Iraq and we miss him a lot, but him being a way is something like a test for our minds and hearts. I'm sure you can do it and I'm sure you'll be fine. Being disappointed a few times makes the reward even better!
