...fonder, of course, but what the saying leaves out is impatient. Sometimes it feels like November can't come soon enough, however this year is proving to be full of fun and excitement even before the wedding. I'm proud to say I think I'm thriving while John is away on deployment, which is a huge victory considering the incredible "meltdown potential" this situation has. Naturally he deserves most of the credit since he often calls more than once a day and we're able to communicate quite a bit via email and instant messaging as well. I was thinking that John's distance, while unfortunate, would give me the chance to catch up on sleep considering I've slept about 6 hours a night for the past few years, but true to form I'm keeping rather busy with work, wedding planning, preparing for all of the changes that our upcoming nuptials will bring about (more info to come as the year progresses), trip planning, preparing my condo for rental, etc. The pictures below highlight a few recent happenings, although I realize that I really haven't been putting my camera to much use so far this year.
