it's the final countdown!!!

6 days to go and I will be on my way to see George :) I have been a busy beaver getting all my ducks in a row before I head off. I try not to think about it to much as I get excited and can't sleep at night and I  already have a hard enough time going to sleep as it is. The hamster is constantly running on its wheel and I can't seem to get him off and go to sleep.  I will admit I am a little stressed about leaving. I know everything will be just fine. Thane and Mitsou will be in great hands and well taken care of. I just need to relax. Easier said then done though.
Being apart from the one you love can be very hard at times. For George and I though it has brought us even closer. We talk and share things with each other that we would never say to each other when were together. I am so happy to have found someone who completes me :)
This is our first "real" vacation since we have been together. Like 15 years.WOW!!  I can't wait to share it with him. George is doing good counting down the days though. He needs a break from the heat, sand, everyday feeling like Monday and the amazing food at the DFAC's :) LOL
A good breath of fresh air will do him some good. Maybe some pasta or pizza in Rome will go down nicely as well. Tide him over till he's done and can come home.
Well time to sign off George should be on skype soon. The best part of my day is talking to him and I don't want to miss that. Bye for now. Really hoping the hamster gets off his wheel tonight :P

Fall is in the air :)

What did one Autumn leaf say to the other???    I'm falling for you.   I know lame hahahah :D

Fall has got to be my favorite season. Still sunny and warm with a crisp breeze in the background. The smell of the leaves in the air puts a spring in your step and you find yourself smiling.We cannot forget the trees that transform into any photographer's dream.We also have to remember my favorite holiday.. Halloween :) A time to dress up and be something your not for one day. Where nobody even looks twice for having purple hair and fangs. The carving of the pumpkins. Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. A time to give thanks. I love fall!! It makes me sad when I hear others complain that summer is over. I wish they could see the beauty in fall and not think about winter  and what that brings. Just to enjoy the few short months fall has to offer us.
The smells of apple cider and pumpkin pie and turkey mmmmmmm can't wait. I will be enjoying most of these by myself this year. Cause someone had to run off and find himself somewhere hot and sandy to play. lol Well I shouldn't say by myself but with friends :) I am blessed to have such great friends in my life.You know who you are :) Oh ya and how could I forget I was born in Autumn :) This year I will get to spend my birthday with George unlike last year which I spent with great friends in Afghanistan. A birthday I will never forget :) This year's birthday is looking promising though. Spending it with the love of my life :) I can't believe I will be turning 26 this year.......oh ya right I mean cough cough 38 hahaha. I do not feel 38 at all. My lovely co workers tell me all the time that they think I am in my late 20's. How kind of them I must say it does make me feel good. Not that aging is a bad thing at all.
So enjoy the sights and sounds and smells that Fall has to offer I know I will be :)
