Highs
I finally heard from my boyfriend in Missouri. I hadn't gotten a letter in 2 weeks, [which was odd, going from 3/week to none/week] THen again the kids just got there, so i completely understand... it's just hard though. Anyway, he called on Friday, they were coming back from taking the kids camping [and the cell phone had been out of range]. We chatted for about 20 min, and I informed him that it was HARD to keep being up-beat and happy and encouraging in the letters, when I don't hear from him. He was like, i'm so sorry, but these kids are a 24/7 job.. but you know how much you mean to me. yay. SO that's cool. I was like, i dont care if you send 3 letters a week, how about one... it only has to be 4 lines:
Hi stevie,
I'm alive and well.
your boyfriend,
dave
Lol, is that too much to ask for?
- also went on saturday with FCA [fellowship of christian athletes] to feed the homeless in Atlanta... that was an experience. Definitely opened my eyes, and I'm thankful for that.
Lows
VERY low... I found out on Friday that my ex-boyfriend's mom died of breast cancer. My ex-boyfriend from home... prom date, dated off and on through high school, still keep in touch. He's in the marines and was overseas and came home early to... well, pretty much... wait for his mom to pass on. Can you imagine coming home for THAT reason?! I'm so sad taht I wasn't there... however I AM going home onthe 4th of july weekend, so I can see him then. I sent a card already... it took me about an hour to write it out. One of the sad things [for me] is that he saw my best friend a week ago [or more] at the mall, and he was like, 'hey where's my girl?' and she goes, 'huh?' and he goes, 'you know who im talking about', and she goes, 'oh, stevie' is'nt coming home this summer' [that was before she knew]... and he was like... 'oh well, tell her i said hi when you talk to her next'.
It's been a rough 2 weeks back home in Jersey... two mothers die in two weeks of breast cancer!! And add that to not hearing from my boyfriend in the same 2 weeks... I was pretty sad.

But I'm ok now, I'm just waiting to go home!
