Black Licrorice

Seth Skyped me this morning, and I was not expecting to hear from him that early.  Of course, my hair was tangled, I had no makeup on, and I was wearing sweats.  Since I am finding out what we are having tomorrow, I asked him to think of some girl names. (Our boy name is set.)  He told me he would look some up and call me back.  Now, when he said "call" me back, I assumed Skype.  I rushed to put on some makeup and a nice top to redeem myself. Over an hour later he facebooked me and said he would Skype me tomorrow.  (Seriously?!) I told him I got dressed and put on makeup, and his response? He apologized for making me "get ready" before 11am.

Now I "LMAO"ed for real, and thinking about it now I am laughing. Although, it kinda hurt my feelings he didn't want to skype me, I'm kinda flattered he never noticed that I quit putting on make up to just sit around the house.  When we first got together, I would climb out of bed early to put makeup on and look pretty. For over a year now, make up has been for going out somewhere, and I don't mean the grocery store.

Oh, I am still Laughing at the thought. "Hold on Briley, Mommy has to put makeup on!" " Let me fix my hair so I can play with the dog!"

Then, he told me he received his small box. SMALL BOX. I really only sent it because he broke one of his banjo strings, so I added some goodies in with some new strings. This was his 2nd box in 10 days time. He COMPLAINED about what I sent!!! 

It reminds me of my first deployment with him.  He asked for black licorice. I sent it. Then he calls and tells me how much he hates black licorice.  What is wrong with this man? Someday, somehow, he will learn to be grateful. And until then, I will continue to laugh at him and send him black licorice.

And seriously, all complaining and joking aside, I truly love him.  Being separated brings back all the feelings of our previous separations, and falling in love.  When he messages me I get butterflies. I wait by the phone like a teenage girl. I try to look pretty for him on our skype "dates."

Seth is the only person in the world I can fall in love with over and over again.

Today, 5 weeks are over.
