Hey! Im M-A-R-L-I-S-A. (MAR-LEESA if you want to impress me by saying it right the first time) I'm so loving life right now! Except for the whole homework part of life everything is starting to look up..finally! Its been 11 days and 1 letter since my boy left me for his mission. The first week was so so hard I couldn't believe how people actually go 2 whole years but now I'm starting to get the hang of things. Here's my findings...Monday=mail day=the best day of the week! Tuesday=Send a letter back. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday=wait as patiently as possible for the next letter, wondering what he'll write next.

My mind is always drifting to the future, imagining all the things we talked about. It makes me so excited and will help me so much to get through the 2 years. But I have so much to do before he gets back! I need to get as much school done cuz someone is going to have to support him when he gets home.

Im so loving two girls right now who help me so much through this! Stephanie...her's left a month before mine and has helped me through, telling me how everything goes and being there! The other is Ali. She doesn't even know she's helping me and I haven't even seen her for such a long time but she's a little further into this waiting thing. I secretly go look at her blog and read about her experiences and things and it makes me excited to get to where she is! Thanks guys!!
