we float while we wait...

Today was a day that I just didn't want to be alone. I went to the pool with Courtney Batte, who is Trey's girlfriend. Trey is good friends with Phil and they also have been deployed in Iraq together [for a year!].

We are only a few days away so Courtney and I had to discuss girl things. We talked about our dresses, the way we want to wear our hair, what kind of shoes [flats or wedges?] I think flats. We also had moments that we were just so darn excited about the upcoming days, weeks and months with our guys! We have already made a verbal list of "things to do" when they get back. Several double dates are in the works: concerts, movies, dinners, beach, ....everything! It's nice to have a friend to talk to who completely understands all of the emotions of waiting. So while we waited for the hours to pass by... we floated... in the pool and tried to look like we were relaxed.... but really, we were just two very anxious girls with lots of butterflies.
