Love Thursday/Funny Fhoto Friday....The Circus...

A few weeks ago, Grandma and Grandpa Bowman took Liam (and I) to our first circus. Liam and I had been a little under the weather earlier in the week and was so excited about the circus that he didn't get much of a nap, so its no suprise that he crashed 3/4 of the way through.

He loved the circus, though. I had a good time too!

Love is getting a great picture like the one below...and hoping that next year daddy can come with us.

Love Thursday...The First Anniversary Post....

On Sunday, David and I will celebrate our first anniversary...even if we are roughly 6656 miles apart (give or take a mile).

It's interesting/ironic how the song we chose for our first dance fits our current situation. We chose 311's (cover of The Cure's) "Love Song".

The lyrics read:

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

This song has come true in so many ways. Basically, David has been gone since March. It's been a rough year, for all of us.

In July, when Dave had 4 days of leave and Liam and I visited him, in the night, when all was quiet, Dave turned to me and said, "It's weird. Even though I know I'm in a hotel, I feel like we're back at our apartment."

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again

And it did.

And of course, this will always be true. Even if we're 6,600+ miles apart.

However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you

Happy First Anniversary, David. Even though we can't hold each other on our first anniversary, it will make our second anniversary that much sweeter.

What?? An update??

Yes. I'm updating. I've been so busy with weddings, family events, trying to get our room in order...I haven't had a chance to update!!

Another reason I've been slacking is because, while I have been online, it hasn't been with you guys. MY HUSBAND HAS THE INTERNET!!!!!! It's SO great being able to IM and Skype with him. Being able to see my husband for the first time in two months was so bittersweet. I cried the first time I talked to him online. If you would like his e-mail address, just e-mail me and I'll send it to you. It's sure costing us a pretty penny for him to have his own internet connection, but its worth it. It'd be nice if it was something the military would pay for, but oh well.

I've been reminded that our first anniversary is on Sunday. *deep breath* I'm not going to lie to you, this is really hard. Everytime I think about it, I get tears in my eyes. What I wouldn't give to be able to give him just a hug on our first anniversary. I'm trying not to think about it and I've decided that the only thing I want for our anniversary (I mean, OTHER than my husband) is for the Cubbies to win--that's assuming they don't win all of the first three games, which would be sweet too. :) Goats, you're on notice. I'll be watching the game (again, keeping my mind off of what DATE it actually is) and once that's over (and the Cubs win) I'll be watching football.

I should be able to talk to David that day, so that will be nice. I've already sent him his anniversary cards and gift (he wanted Superman bedsheets).

Rest assured, I'll be back tomorrow for Love Thursday. It'll be a sappy wedding post. :)
