or ya know, just to see or even talk to him would be really, really nice. we can't talk at all while lance is in ranger school. and it is hard. so hard that i have resorted to emailing random bloggers for advice on how they got through ranger school when their boyfriends/fiances/spouses were going through it. 

molly from carry your heart with me sent me some great advice, including this gem ...

"It is really hard for normal civilians to understand why our lives are so unpredictable. I try to explain that we are just a tiny moving part of a greater organization. Being part of the military, even as a spouse, means that the mission will always come first. I know it can be so hard to feel like what you want is constantly being ignored. However, all of these tiny sacrifices allow the Army to fight America's wars and keep us safe."

how true! i tend to forget that when i feel like i am surrounded by people who look down upon the military and everything that it does. {another reason to be excited to move to georgia!} she also said that she pretends making the time pass quickly is a second full-time job. i like the sounds of that mind game and think i will follow suit. i've been meeting my summer goals, but maybe it's time to take that to the next level ...
