Day 28 & A Birthday

So the countup is at 28 days now.If you calculate from the exact hour he left. If you calculate from actual date he left, it's day 29. My countup goes by the time he left though. It seems like it's been forever and I haven't even hit a month yet. I hate this. What I hate more is that he normally gets online 2 times a day to talk to me. That's amazing right? I should feel lucky, and I do. But he doesn't always get on, things happen (working late, sleeping longer, etc) that keep him from getting online so I don't get to talk to him. That's fine, I have no problem with it. I totally understand. The sucky part is that, I don't get any notice if he's not going to get on. I wake up at 5am every morning to talk to him (when I could be sleeping late since Shayli sleeps late) but instead I'm awake. And I sit, and I wait... and if he doesn't get online, then I've wasted time I could have devoted to sleep. And it sucks. It's irritating... yet somehow it's worth it just to see his name pop up when he does sign on.

It's my sister's 18th birthday. It seems like only yesterday I was 7 years old watching her after school while we waited for my mom to get off work. I would make her Ramen noodles. With two ice cubes in the bowl after it was made because the soup was too hot... And now, she's 18 years old and the time just flew. Here is a girl I've known my whole life, and now she's legally an adult. She'll never realize how much I love her and how proud I am of her. My 18 year old sister. The scholarship earning college cheerleader. She got a full ride scholarship to go to school and cheer with one of the best competitive cheerleading squads in the US. And she did it on her own. :) She makes me so happy.

Shayli is 7 months old as of the 30th. It's so hard to believe. She's over halfway to a year. It's like someone hit fast forward and my baby is growing up and I'm missing it. Someone build me a time machine, I just want to keep her like this a little longer!

Other than that, everything is pretty much okay. I miss my family. I can't wait to get down to AL. I love my sister. And I can't wait to see her. And my hubby, wherever he is, whatever he's doing, I hope he knows I'm thinking of him.
