I've visited my wonderful boyfriend in Florida twice, and he's been home twice. 11 hours driving straight by myself wasn't so fun, but it's totally worth getting to see him. Things between us are good, but I tend to focus too much on the negative aspects of us being in a long distance relationship. I can't wait for him to be home for good, but I wouldn't change this experience for the world. As frustrating as it can be sometimes, I know God is good and everything will be according to his plan.
I also went on a road trip to San Diego, California with my 2 friends to visit my friend Chelsie and her family. It was so much fun! I really miss having her around. I hate to say it, but it's almost like we're only friends when we're together. I know it's my partially my fault, and I don't know if it will ever change. I guess time will tell.
As if seeing 2 beaches wasn't enough, I went on Vacation with my family (dad, mom, brother, uncle, and grandpa) to South Padre Island last month. It was a nice break from everyday life. I got to go parasailing with my brother, which was definitely the highlight.
Aside from trips, I've just been working and hanging out with my friends since school let out in May. (Which, btw, I got through just fine. I just had to suck it up and not complain :))
Only somewhat bad news is I had a right thyroidectomy on Wednesday, Aug 5th. They found two rather large cysts and did a needle biopsy, but it came back inconclusive. After surgery I was happy to find out they found nothing, no cancer, and because they only removed the right side, I shouldn't have to be on any medication or hormone replacements. I have an appointment next Thursday to remove my bandage and make sure it's healing smoothly. Praise Jesus for the results and ask for a speedy recovery.
So, now, I'm just waiting around. I can't drive or work til Friday. I'm not the kind of person who likes to stay down, so I'm already bored. haha.
On a happy ending note. My Marine graduates A school on Aug 25th, which means he'll be home Friday the 28th for 10 days of leave. I'm sooooo excited to see him.
I'll write more soon, Lord knows I have nothing else to do all week. :)
