Day Thirteen.

It's officially the LAST day for 2010!!! Wow! What a crazy, eventful year we've had!

Unfortunately I am bringing in the New Year from bed! I am feeling a little sick today and decided to take it easy and stay home. I'm not that disappointed really. I am wore out from all the running around I've done the past couple days. Also, it's just not the same ringing in the new year with other people, and other couples, when your other half is thousands of miles away. There is no one to snuggle up to and watch the ball drop, or to kiss at midnight and bring in the new year with hope and cheers.

This year we just have to say our "Happy New Year!" wishes across the internet... and blow kisses instead of real ones. This time last year me and my honey were toasting our sake!

So anyway...  I video chatted with my honey today, and he didn't have too much going on there. He has to start adjusting his sleep a little so he was going to stay up later and sleep in later, then probably go back to sleep during the day to prepare for starting his shift at midnight Saturday.

It was pouring down rain there today he said. He wasn't really prepared for it, and had on his fleece and no rain gear, so his fleece is soaked. He actually had to wring it out due to how saturated it was!

The only thing he got to do today was work on the infrared thing on the top of the helicopter. They asked for any volunteers to fix it, and no one else said anything, so he volunteered. It's crazy that some of the other guys would rather sit around and do nothing than put their skills to work.. but that is something that I really admire about my soldier. He is a 'get stuff done' kind of guy, especially at work, doing the things he enjoys and was trained to do.

That is all that really happened today. We just chit chatted about random topics, sent our kisses for New Years, and he said he will call me "from the future" tomorrow. It made me laugh! It is actually next year in Iraq now! Weird.

Well I am literally laying down and typing with my head rested on my shoulder...It's time to put in a movie and watch the clock tick down to next year! Happy 2011!!!

P.S. The Post Office closed early today!!! So didn't get to send out my care package to my soldier! I was really bummed because they are closed tomorrow..so I have to wait until Monday!! ugh!
