oh lovely day


So just because my husband is not here to celebrate Valentines day with me, does that mean I can't celebrate? I think not. Instead of wallowing in self-pity and the fact that my husband isn't here to share such a lovely day with, I decided that I can still celebrate the meaning of valentines day, which is love,although it would be nice to have my valentine here. I decided I would be crafty and work on a project to keep me busy. I started out this morning cleaning, doing errands and then shopping for a crafty project that I could work on in the evening. I watched girlie movies that I would never make Collin watch with me and bought some chocolate and worked on my stuff. It was acutally quite enjoyable! Collins younger sis, Haylee, made me a v-day sugar cookie too which was sweet. I did get to talk to Collin though. Hes in Oklahoma finishing his second portion of training, but its so much more leinent there. He has interent now, so we both set up a webcam so we can talk and see each other pretty much everyday! I met some of his military buddies tonight who are missing their wives too. I also made another side project with items from our wedding that Ive been wanting to put together: engagement pic, invite and wedding day pic. I think it turned out nice.





The "H" didnt turn out like I imagined it, so I think Im going to change the background paper color. It's black but its looks purple agaisnt the frame, so that will be my next objective this week. I'm glad Collin lets me make this kinda stuff, he defenitly is the greatest man in my life and I love him so much! He makes me so incrediably happy and being away from him makes me realize how much I love him. I am going to make him a military office for him though...just to even things out, he deserves it. I love you honey! Hope everyone had a great Valentines Day! Also, shoutout to Holly who accidently text messag'd me that was suppose to go to her husband! yowzers!
