The Dreaded "D" word...

This deployment (the dreaded D word) is kicking my ass this time. I am here, in Hawaii, THOUSANDS of miles away from my family and friends back home and I feel STUCK. I am so thankful to have Cameron as my husband and I'm happy when he's here but I tell you what...right now I'm stuck in Paradise WITHOUT my Marine. AHHH....That makes it NOT Paradise any longer, seriously. :( Thank God for great friends, great food and great wine... :) Just kidding. Just kidding. Seriously though, thank God for my friend Melissa being here with me. If she weren't here I could very well loose my mind.

I am now on a new schedule, yay for a schedule. I am up at 7 a.m. (most morning) and I go to bed by 11:30 (most nights) and it has made me feel much better...when I can do it. It's so hard for me to be on a schedule because I have NEVER been on one. I've always jsut gone gone and gone until I was sick, literallly, and HAD to stop. I tell you what though I am hoping I can stick to it because it will help me! :)

I got to talk to my absolutely WoNdErFuL husband today! YaY! We got to actually have a short conversation, for the second time since he deployed to Afghanistan. I'm telling you what it was AMAZING!!! :) I'm so thankful for the times that I get to hear from him. I wish that he was somewhere with more computer access so that we could Skype each other but it's just not possible. He doesn't even get to go to the FOB (Forward Operating Base) except like every other week, if that. You know what though? I'm just ecstatic to have gotten to talk to him because it makes my day AMAZING to hear his voice! :)

I got a new ice cream maker that my Mommy sent me in the mail and I put it to use making some Strawberry Daiquries. Yummyyyyy! :) Except they weren't this time but I'm hoping they will be once I get the recipe right...Any suggestions?
