Day Five.

I think I will start using the abbreviation "SBF" for "soldier boyfriend" so I don't have to type it out all the time!

So had a nice time last night with my SBF's family. We went to a Dinner Theater Christmas program. It was pretty good, nice songs and costumes, dancing and silly jokes by the announcer.

There was a portion of the program that was dedicated to the soldiers and veterans that were there and those serving overseas. It was very moving. I was actually doing okay until they had a singer dressed as a soldier singing "I'll be home for Christmas" and then I had a moment.. I had to excuse myself from the theater for a minute to regain my composure. But I was able to pull it together and rejoin the group.

I was trying really hard not to let my emotions get to me. I had to just try and focus on the moment and enjoy the show!  It ended pretty late and we had some wine afterward, but I just could not fall asleep!
I don't know if it was because I was sleeping somewhere different, or just the anticipation of knowing that SBF was going to be calling "early" in the morning.

So far we haven't heard anything. It's about noon here. I think he was going to try and call earlier but I know he had some things to do today.

Honestly, I think the worst part today is the waiting... not knowing when or if he will get a chance to call.. but since there is a good possibility, I don't want to wander too far from the phone. I would like to jump in the shower, but he's sure to call just as soon as I do!!

Not much else planned for today. As soon as I hear from him I'll take a shower and probably pick up a last minute Christmas gift, and that's about it!

I may post again later if I do get word from my SBF! :)
