Sean did get to come back for Christmas for 10 days. During this time we did get married and the parents threw us a small party with some of the family. I almost cried saying my vows staring into his eyes. It was just a trip to the JP's office but we plan on having a formal one sometime at the end of summer for everyone to attend and renew our vows or have a reception or something then. It was the so wonderful and I am just so happy and blessed. I was having an allergic reaction to something so I looked red and puffy and he still couldn't have been happier to marry me. I felt like the prettiest girl on earth in spite of it thanks to him. I like being able to say my husband... My lil sisters seemed just all too thrilled at having a brother to bother now and took great joy in calling me old and Mrs. Jay...now that will take some getting used to. A new last name....lol least it is short.
Today was a very sad day for me though. Today I had to help sean pack up and take him to PIT int. airport this afternoon and say goodbye for the next 7-8 months till i get to join him after I fininsh up basic and my own tech school. We will make it though. I have no doubt of that. I made sure that we both kept laughing until I left and it was the hardest thing I think I have ever done. When every fiber of your being just wants to break down and crumble into a pile and cry in his arms and beg him not to go even when you know he has too and yet keep a smile on your face and do everything to keep one on his. I did it though. I did it. I left drove the 1.5 hours home and didn't break down till I walked into the house and saw his picture. I cried for about an hour. We will be fine though.
Well today has been stressful and I am getting tired so I am going to turn in now.

Rachel! It's been a REALLY long time! I tried e-mailing you, and I don't know if you got it or not, cuz from your posts it sounds like you've been very, VERY busy! First, let me just wish you a (late) Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, AND a MAJOR Congratulations!!! I wish I could just give you a big hug right now! I'm SO happy for you, and I aslo feel for ya...I'm sure it was REALLY hard letting him get on that airplane---being a Navy Brat, I know how it is not seeing loved ones for a loooong time-- But you two'll make it, and let me just say that you both are DEFINITELY in my prayers! I love you Rachel, and even though we haven't gotten to talk in a looong time, I just wanted to let you know I'm thinking and praying for you. PLEASE if you ever have some time, I would LOVE it if you'd e-mail me (my adress is still the same (elf_gal06@yahoo ) I would just LOVE to hear from you!
