Tomorrow seems so far away

...yet I can almost reach out and touch it!


Today Mom and I:

Made peanut butter balls.
(it was at this time that we decided that we should make kiss cookies)
so we went to Wal-mart.
We then got the makings for kiss cookies, peppermint bark, AND dipped pretzels.
And that is how we spent our day. Cooking and enjoying one another's company. It was definitely fun.

After that, I cleaned out my car (it NEEDED it). It looks so nice now and it smells good too! Had dinner and then went to Walmart to get the last bit of Christmas presents for my mom from my dad. He wanted to get her these pjs she wanted, but felt awkward shopping in that section. Anyway, I got out of there as quickly as possible because people are getting CRAZY now that it's almost Christmas. I don't need to be around the crazies.

Washed my car at the carwash after that. Machine wouldn't take my $5, so the guy working just took it and then upgraded my wash. (SWEET)

Picked up my check from work. Glad I'm not working today at all. It's been a nice relaxing day.


Tomorrow will be a day of waiting. I'll wait around for Ben to call and tell me when to leave to make it to where I'm picking him up on time. Gotta drive about 20 minutes into Arkansas to pick Landon up. Hopefully I'll get some gas money for going out of my way.

And then I get to see Ben, and all will be right with the world.
I guess I'm going to have to get used to this...not seeing him for 3 months at a time. I am going to be a military wife, and sometimes these things happen. I don't like it, but I'll have to deal.

This was the last time I saw him. Standing outside the BX in Texas.

Tomorrow, he comes home.
