Doesn't time fly?

It's that time.. AGAIN!

Waiting to hear if chaps has been given his leave, can't believe he's been in for 7 weeks now and thursday is his passing in parade and he gets his beret!

I'm so excited to spend 4 days with him and not have to worry about going to work the next day and losing special time!

The last weeks been real tough, the 7 weeks have flown past but this last week has dragged so much, we've both had a shit week and I'm determined to keep positive this week and exclude all negativity. I'm keeping busy when I'm not working and trying to spend as much time with family as I can. Alfie bums teething, Tyler's starting pre-school and there's another baby coming into the family (no, not us!) 

I've had a fair few inches cut off my hair, and I love it! Ready for a new season and a new look and most importantly no more hair in the face for the boy! 

I'm having my bridesmaid dress fitted at the weekend for my beautiful cousins wedding, I'm so excited I could burst! Little does Mike know a day of his leave is going to be spent looking for shoes.. I can't wait for him to see me in my dress.

I haven't got much more to blog about today, just that I'm blessed to have so many people that care about both Mike & I, and mostly to him for picking me up when ive fallen! 

Thank god for snapchat! 

I love leave...

ITS BEEN A WHILE!

My boys already had one set of leave at his week 3 and boy was it was hard. I spent most of the Saturday night and Sunday morning in tears but after lots of reassurance from my him I managed to enjoy what little time we had together.

Parents day up in Catterick was brilliant, I got to see what he's doing, where he's staying and talk to his corporals and seargant. I wasn't surprised to be told that he's settled in well.

I still live for my texts and phone calls every night. He's been in almost 5 weeks now and my hearts finally settling and the time we have together is so so precious.

In those 5 weeks I've truly learnt who my friends are, and they have been utterly amazing. And to some of those who I thought were friends have just faded into the background.

It's so difficult to try and fit everything in over 2 days and to see everyone but I'm hoping in time it will be easier.

After being told he may not be able to come home this weekend I recieved good news of a picture of mikes train tickets ready for Friday! Still haven't quite grasped in my head at how unorganised and last minute the army is.

Tomorrow will again be spent cleaning and washing ready for his lordships return! 

I'm so excited that I could burst, ready for some well deserved time together and to have a good chat about the future!

I'm so proud of you mikey boy each and every day x 

It's safe to say our wardrobe definitely doesn't look like this!

Last lonely blog...

As I lay in bed and look at the state of our bedroom (sorry babs) I have realised this will probably be the last blog before my boys home and then my left leg will be back with me where he belongs..

Where do I start?

He's had snow, rain, sunshine and frost but he's still smiling as always and giving it 110%. Slowly getting fed up of other people's mistakes and being punished for them however.

Gradually planning my journey Saturday with my 2 pals and I have to admit my first day off in a while and I need to leave the house by half 4 latest :-( but I'm sure when I see him in uniform it will be so worth it in my sleep deprived state.

Work is CRAZY I feel like I haven't stopped but it's made time flash Infront of me. Just 2 more day left at work and there nice days which makes it even nicer to wake up in the morning and look forward to getting up.

Sleeping alone has slowly grown on me and soon enough there's going to be a man in my bed.. But I think I'll like it!

I sometimes think oh he can't miss me he's a bloke they don't do all the soppy bollocks but I have to admit after the endless phone calls and text messages it's kept my morale high and realised that he does miss me and maybe sometimes I am too hard on both myself and him.

At the moment I'm hidden on the inside of his locker (no priveledges until week 7) but I'm happy knowing every day he sees us. 

I got sent this today and I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.. I love you pickle x

I'm already looking forward to my next blog, it will be a happy one for sure!!
