How far do I have to go to get to you?
It’s about time I updated, I know. But, I haven’t really had anything new to blog about. I’ve been working more and talking to Sebert less, and it’s just not something that I’ve wanted to relive every day by writing down, to be completely honest.
I’m dealing with things better, I think. Well, I’m doing a better job of keeping everything inside. Things just keep getting more complicated. Luke and Sebert aren’t talking anymore, so that’s making things kind of tense between me and Ashley. We’d never admit to each other; we still talk like we’re fine with it, but we don’t talk as often, and there’s just something there. I’m hating it… I had really started getting close to Ashley, and it’s nice to have someone to talk to who understands exactly what I’m going through. We’re still pretty close though. I hope the guys being idiots doesn’t ruin that.
Sebert bought an Iraqi cell phone, so that’s how I’ve been talking to him for the past couple of weeks. Their phones and internet have been down. I love the fact that I’ve still gotten to talk to him every day… But, it almost seems like the 2 minute phone calls make it harder than no call at all. I can put up with hard, though. I wouldn’t trade hearing his voice for the world. In fact, that’s what I’m waiting for right now - that two minute phone call where he says he just wanted to say that he misses and loves me, but he has to go because he’s outside the wire.
Amber has been making me mix CDs for me to listen to in my car [my radio doesn’t work], and I love her for it right now. I think I’m going to ask her if she can just burn me a copy of the Sara Bareilles album, though, because she’s given me three of her songs, and I love them all. Amber has all kinds of fantastic music on her iPod. It’s great. And she loves me, so I get to share in the wealth. =]
Britt and I took her boys swimming at her aunt’s house the other day… That was really fun. She and I have gotten really close since I moved back up here, and I’m incredibly grateful for that. It’s nice to have someone to hug when I have a bad day. Maybe she doesn’t completely understand, but she still listens and tries to lift my spirits.
In other news, Sebert’s cousin Teri and her three kids just moved into town. It’s been nice hanging out with them a bit. I took Chris, Kaitlin, and Gwen all to see The Happening the other day, and I think they had a good time. I hope so; they deserve it. They’ve been through a lot. And I think Teri really appreciates me spending time with them. But, I’m glad to… They’re fun. And they’re family, and I love them all. I wish there was more I could do for them.
Oh, and I got a new cell phone! I guess the phone I got is super popular now, but I don’t care. I love it. It’s so much better than the last one I had. Plus, I’ve been downloading all kinds of ringtones. Annnd, it has a mini SD card, so I can actually keep the pictures that I take from my phone without having to upload them. I’m pretty excited about it. That was my biggest irritation with my old phone. That, and it was a POS. But, you know.
Anyway, I’m off to watch Friends until 0100 when the latest episode of Army Wives repeats…
