Love Letters

I ran all of my lovely errands yesterday and ended up going to the Astros baseball game with Ryan's mom and T.J. in the evening. We didn't see much baseball, though, due to the rain so we ended up leaving after a couple of innings. I came home to attempt to book my flight to NC next weekend, and in the two days it took for my brother to loan me the money the price has gone up almost $300! I was pretty upset, but thank God for best friends like Kesha. ^_^ She offered to drive me the 8 hours there and 8 hours back. So I'm going to use my flight money to pay for our hotel room and gasoline. It'll be fun to have a little mini-road trip with Kesha anyways so it all worked out. I ♥ you!

Today I woke up to my new Social Security Card and a letter from Ryan in the mail. Haha. Now I am definitely officially Erika Tupps! Ryan wrote the letter the day he called me from the PX. He told me about some of the training and how much he misses me. He said:

I annoy everyone because I talk about you so much. They say that you are really macking on them. (They joke like that.) But I know I am your man and the only one. I can't live without you. I like the letters you've written. I didn't know I would get that call today, but it made every minute of the rest of the day worth it. It felt euphoric to hear your voice. I can't wait to see you! I am so excited. I am so proud to be you husband. I take a lot of harassment from people, but it's all worth it. My ring is indestructible! Not even a scratch or tarnish. I don't know when I will write or call again so I love you and I miss you. Your Hopelessly in Love Husband, Ryan.

I can't wait until next Sunday when I get to see him again! ^_^;; The days are crawling by. Ugh. But soon it will be over, and then I'll be waiting for another month to pass before I see him again while he is at MOS school. But at least there I can call or e-mail him whenever I want within reason. I look forward to having communication back.

Any lucky people who own their own house interested in new bathroom faucets? Unfortunately I will be renting for the foreseeable future...as in years. Haha. No owning of my own home for me for a long while to come.
