Well, this week has been full of challenges and exhausting trials. I have worked out almost everyday this week. Walking, the eliptical crosstrainer and ab work-outs...sometimes I wanted to quit cause I was so tired...but I kept pushing myself. Thursday and Friday was spent at the hospital getting blood work and exams done, and I have more to do this week. Finding out that my liver was getting weak and my white blood cell count was low, and now have to go see a surgeon to see what else is wrong and what can be done. All I could say is...do whatever it takes, I just want to be healthy and be able to have a baby with my husband. The only thing they could do to carry me over til my other appointments is give me some medications, vitamins, and tell me to eat more...lol. So...I sort of have increased my food intake (just not by much seeing as I am still dieting) and I drink even more water.
I still have the photography class with Andrea every Wednesday, which we love. And at least for the next week I will get to talk to Aaron regularly...but he moves next weekend to a place where I won't be able to hear from him as often. Which just means I am going back to work and back to the tanning bed...since I won't have to be at home like I have been. Aaron has been back in Iraq for over a month now, and I am working on his 3rd package. He loves scuba diving and said that if he was to go to college he would want to go in for marine biology...so I bought him a marine book with lots of awesome pictures. It was the most expensive book I have ever bought that wasn't for college. But I think that he will love it. If anyone else wants to write him or anything his address is:
SSG Golson, Aaron S.
18th ORD Co. (EOD)
FOB SYKES
APO AE 09351
Well, I want to finish scrubbing the house. If I am going back to work here soon, I want to know that the house is in incredible condition so I just have to work hard on the weekends and just tidy up during the week. I hope that everyone is haveing a great week.
Love Ya'
We Are Going To Be Parents

The Weekly Update
154 days til Aaron should be coming home. 5 months and 2 days. It seems like forever, but I keep telling myself that it's not. We have made it through 10 months, what is another 5...right?
Aaron tried to call and instant message me regularly. I am so blessed to have that, there are some who rarely get to hear from their soldiers. I know that I won't always have this luxury, but while I do I am going to savor every second.
I love being able to hear his voice. We talk about everything. Sometime we have those awkward silences where we don't know what to say, but they don't last long. We talk about how we are coming along in our work-outs. Now we have discussed and decided to try to have a baby when he comes home (which we were debating for a while...seeing as we couldn't decide on whether we wanted to wait til we had time alone...or just go for it). I love the way we make plans, not knowing of course whether or not he will even be home to go through with them. Talking about going to the beach for my annual beach family reunion. Drawing up and discussing floor plans for our dream home. I love how we are so open and can talk about anything and everything.
Yesterday I gave him the 5 Languages of Love Quiz. Just to have something fun to talk about. Turns out we both have the same primary and secondary love languages. Which I decided just further proved that we are soul mates.
Something else that I have to pass my time by...photo class. Andrea and I enrolled into a photography fundamentals class. Now we will be able to take great pro-like pics for our scrapbooking. Too bad it is only one night a week.
So, to keep me from going further insane during Aaron's' absence, I have; photo class, scrapbooking, soon subbing again, working-out and anything else that Andrea throws my way...lol. She is already talking about another photo class and we want to take the painting dishes for Christmas class and there are the classes thrown by the scrapbooking stores around here. So with all of this...plus my insane house cleaning kick I have been one...I should be good.
And, on Monday or Tuesday, I should be getting another call from the FRSA to talk about me doing some volunteer work on base and/or in my FRG.
lol...Aaron said yesterday that I have grown a lot since he has left. That may or may not be true, but I sure feel more mature. Just because I have never really had to take care of myself before, and now I have to. I like paying the bills, I like knowing that the house looks good, and I like knowing that my husband is proud of the job that I do.
Well, I guess that is enough blabbing for today.

An Amzazing Week
Aaron has called and imed me everyday this week. Most days we have spent around 5 hours talking. We miss each other so much that time just flies when we are chatting. We have sent pictures and videos of our days via email to each other. We are reading books and discussing them. Now we are drawing up and callaberating on floor plans for our dream home. So far, my floor plans are winning...lol. I think it just that I have the time and patience to draw them. Though I did take some of the beautiful details that he described to me and put them into my drawings. We are officially saving up for the house. It is a slow ambition, especially with us never knowing when we will get a chance to build our home, but it is a goal non-the-less.
We have also broaded our coversation topics. Everything from what we want to do when he comes home, where we would like to be stationed, where we want to be sealed, to just overall learning more about eachother. I never knew where all in the world he has traveled to...though I do now. I am so jealous. I've only been to 49 out of 50 states of the US (I need to hit Hawaii), Mexico and Canada. And I think that I almost have him conviced to go to Alaska. I miss it alot and am secretly praying to get stationed there...lol.
I have a couple of calendars counting down the days til 15 months are technically over for Aarons' unit. I know better than to think it gives any indication of when he and his men will be coming home, but it helps. As of Sunday, September 02, 2007...we are down to...167 days. Aaron never wants me to tell him how much longer. Apparently it makes it harder on him. But for me, it actually gives me something to contimplate. Like by Halloween, we will be down to almost 100. Then it is only 2 digits from there :D Luckily I have a photography class that Andrea and I are planning on signing up for this week. I also think that we are going to be doing a few scrapbooking activities as well as possibly horseback riding lessons. Here is a way I keep myself from going insane...stay busy..and put things in short terms...like: Halloween is just around the corner...a month later is Thanksgiving...a month later is Christmas...then New Years...then Valentines Day and that is about when Aaron should be coming home. So, five holidays and 5 months. Though they are holidays that will make me sad cause we have not had the chance to spend a single holiday together so far....but should keep me busy enough to pass time.
I know that I am just rambling...but I have been in this house all day and am probably going slightly nuts. Heck, I'm still in my pjs that I was wearing this morning..lol. Man, I need a life. Well, guess I should go grab a drink and try to pass out before midnight so I can be well rested for church in the morning.
