First Skype Date

So the first few days were not nearly as hard as I thought they would be. I was actually able to get some things done like some laundry, and I have already tried something new. I went to kick boxing! How awesome is that? It was a good work out and it got me out of the house. My friends have been great they are texting me everyday asking if I want to do something and it is a relief that I don't have to sit at home all day and watch T.V. by myself.

To those of you that haven't gone through a deployment and might be soon or ever, I suggest you find something to do with your time. A job, working out, trying something new anything so that you are not at home thinking about him (or her) all the time.

I am also re-discovering my independence since college. I feel like a slightly different person and it is nice to know that I can do things on my own.

So on to the date... today was our first Skype date. I was woken up this morning to my good friend Katie calling me to tell me Cody wanted me to get on Skype. I was so confused, but it turns out that she happen to be on Facebook and Cody sent here a message. I was only able to talk to him for a few minutes and he was using his phone so the call was unclear. The moral of the story is that deployment isn't perfect, but you need to make the most of every moment you can share together.

I was able to talk to him again this afternoon, on a much clearer call.

Cody's Update:
He will be working the night shift, which is actually nice since he won't have to deal with the heat much and he will be able to call me during the day here so I won't have to try and talk to him at 3 in the morning.

That's all for now.
