A post for Greg...

{Greg mentioned that he misses reading my writing while he's away, but lately, I've just been in a slump. So in honor of my hard-working man...this post is a love letter to him}

Gregory Brian-

Hi Baby! :) Well, I hope you're happy mister..this post is for YOU! You really must be something special if I write a blog post for you. ;) First off, (yes, I have to say it everytime I talk to you & I include blogging for you as talking to you) I MISS YOU! Goodness gracious, I went to pick up our plane tickets for Jamaica today and I cried the whole way home because I miss you so much! haha. I would give anything for you to be back home with me again and running all of our errands together. I don't think we cherished those moments enough. However, our sweet travel agent, Pam, did ask how you were doing and how Oklahoma is treating you! :) My life is just not the same without you in it every single day...one would think by now (5 months) that I would be somewhat used to you being gone, but I'm not. Not even close. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a bad dream and you really will be coming to pick me up for date night on Fridays...then reality sets in and my Skype starts ringing. ;)

But in happier news...today marks exactly ONE MONTH! Can you believe that?!? One month until I will walk down the ailse and become your WIFE! That is such an awesome word to me! You have on clue how much I want to be a great loving and supportive wife for you. It's my #1 goal right now! I seriously hope you love everything I have done for our wedding while you have been away. I think it will be so much *fun* and be very personal. I've worked hard on it baby..and not because I want to impress everyone, but because I want it to be memorable for us! It is going to be the happiest day of our lives! :) I just cannot WAIT!

Know what else I cannot wait for?!? My VISIT to OK! Thank you sooo much for allowing me to come spend 4th of July with you! We are going to have so much fun..and it's going to be wonderful to spend some time together. Even if it is my first plane ride...I wish it were here tomorrow! I'm not very sure if you are gonna be able to get me back on that plane to NC... Then, guess what? The next time I see you will be at the REHEARSAL!! You got the invite, right? ;)

I know we haven't had much time to talk this week Greg, but know that I think of you constantly and pray for you! You are doing SO well in your training and I am SO proud of you for that!! I knew you would stand out from the crowd...you always have! It is such an honor and joy to get to hear about your experiences and stories...I love being your refuge! It is so awesome to be marrying my hero! Thank you, baby for your hard-work. You provide for me and for our country far more than we could ever ask of you...

I love you today..tomorrow..and for always! {and for certain in 30 DAYS!} I hope you are doing ok out in the field training baby...please eat your mashed potatoes, add the gravy. We can't afford a 3rd suit for the wedding ;) And pretttyyy, pretttyyyyy please ring my Skype # soon so I can make sure your hair is growing properly for the wedding ;) hahaha...

All my love...
