He's gone again

More army stuff. Is is bad that I'm not as sad as I used to get when he left? Maybe I'm just used to it. Should I feel bad? It's not like I don't miss him. I miss him like crazy. Maybe it's because I know he won't be gone that long. And I really do miss him. Once he goes active, his "gone" periods are going to be a lot longer so maybe it's a good thing that I'm starting to get used to it now.

I made him take this with me before he took me to work before he left. This has quickly become one of my favorite pictures of us. (Maybe I can even put them with our wedding invitations!) I've only had it for a day and a half and I find myself constantly looking at it. We even match. Sorta.

I'm currently at work, trying to find ways to stay awake. I have no idea what it is about this day shift I work on the weekends but it kills me. It feels like time is moving slower, no matter how much fun I'm having. And then I'm always tired, no matter how much sleep I get the night before. When I work night shifts time seems to go by so much faster. I feel like these shifts suck away my soul.

I was trying to take a break from wedding planning until I got my reception hall figured out and booked. I already know where I want to have it but a bunch of people have brought up that they're unsure about where it's located. And that it's "prostitute central" over there. Maybe that should bug me. But prostitutes are something that just comes with being in Vegas. Maybe I'm just used to seeing them too. Russell wanted to go check the place out and get a look at the area before we booked it and I was all for it but we never had time before he left and I wanted to have everything sorted out by the 15th so I could start working on the invitations. (I'm trying to figure out when I decided that doing everything myself would be a good idea.)
But now I keep remembering small little details that I need to start working on (Dj, limo, etc.) because those things need to be booked in advanced so that you're not stuck with some horrible, inexperienced DJ and you're not riding a cab around town. So I started working on those things and they started asking where I was having the reception, times of the reception, etc. and I don't know any of that just yet because nothing has been finalized. Now I'm back to being super stressed out about this reception hall and I was just starting to feel normal again.

If I'm not bald by the end of all this planning from ripping my hair out it will be a miracle.

Russell is making me send him a picture of me every day while he's gone and I started playing with a photo editing app I have on my phone before I left for work.
