so i know it’s been a while since i’ve posted. it’s hard to say anything when not much of anything is going on around me. which makes being here so hard. Forth of July was yesterday. i was so miserable all day long. i wanted to be with my family so bad. i couldn’t stop think of what downtown Charleston was like with the fireworks and all the people. if i was in Charleston i would have gone with my parents to the battery and watched them. instead i am in california and i didn’t go anywhere. i just wanted the day to be over. i knew i wouldn’t take this very well but it’s good to have a husband who is so supportive. he held me over and over again yesterday.
i had the strangest nightmare last night. i dreamed that Jeremy (my brother) was getting married again and we were at the rehearsal dinner and i couldn’t sit next to him. i was so upset i just started crying and crying. then when i woke up it reminded me of my own rehearsal dinner when Arron and i got married. the restaurant sat us all at circular tables that could only seat about 4 people at a time max. i was so angry but i didn’t say anything. i wanted my family and Arron’s family to be together and we weren’t. i wanted to be able to talk to our parents, get advice, make the next day easier. i so regret that dinner. oh well, i’m just being negative because i miss my family. it was a wonderful wedding!
it’s hard to meet people here. but today was a good day. we found a place on base called “The Peak”. it’s basically just a free coffee shop where all the airmen come and they have free wifi and everyone is close to our age and very friendly. we met a few people tonight and we intend to come back often. i could even come here sometimes by myself. lol, Arron could drop me off while he’s at work and i could stay at daycare all day 
. they sometimes stay open until midnight. i’m here right now and it’s 10:30. we just ordered pizza and he’s going to pick it up.
so i suppose i’m getting the hang of this airforce wife thing. it’s just hard to leave home. but once i get past that and make some friends, i’m sure i’ll just blossom. sort of. things will be nice in Japan.
Hey you! I am so glad to see another post! Glad you met some people too, and that Arron is being the supportive husband i knew he would be! we missed you July 4th! if you had been here we certainly would have gone and found some fireworks…but it just didnt seem the same without y’all. but that’s okay, cause i will be seeing you in 5 1/2 months, right
love ya!
Sweetie, you’re blossoming already. But yes, once you’re in Japan and have some friends, it will be much easier. Leaving home is hard. I remember when I left home. It was hard for me too and I fought with my dad almost non stop. It didn’t matter. Leaving was still hard.
We miss you so much. I’ve been checking flights and prices to Japan. We’re definitely going to have to plan. The cheapest flights I’ve found so far are around $1200 per person round trip. But we’ll find a way.
