First Deployment Package

Just some stuff to remind J of home.

Lemon slices, Mint Lifesavers, Assorted Flavored Lifesavers, pack of gum, Gummy worms, Orange slices, Twizzlers, Country time Lemonade, and Tropical Starbursts

2 small boxes of liquid gel Advil, Aloe, Kleenex, Giant Tub of Tums Smoothies, Blistex

I love New Jersey Stickers (one says "JERZ" on it),

a Stuffed Snake to remind him of our baby Scar

(who REALY is not a baby. SHE's Huge now)

2 tee shirts; 1 from the American Legion and 1 from the Garden State Parkway that says NEW JERSEY on it.

a whole bunch of cards with notes by a bunch of friends

craziness!!!
finally packed tight and sent with love from New Jersey

Another Fun thing to do when you're at Wal-Mart getting a whole lot of fun stuff to send to your deployed boyfriend:

Get a cute blouse and purse for $16.

All and all, this was a blast and the best part is thinking of his smile when he opens this box and how maybe I will be the opposite of "the worst girlfriend ever!" as he called me last week when I told him I had only sent letters in the mail. He was like a little kid; the one who doesn't want clothes for Christmas. He'd rather a package than letters. I have to laugh.

I love you Baby!! Come home soon!!

What's Worse?

Dunno what's worse... Missed calls or interrupted calls...

I was literally on the line with J a couple minutes ago and the call was completely interrupted... "Baby?!" I questioned with concern...
wondering what that strange noise was... then I thought About it a couple seconds.
"Baby? Hello?" Then the line hung up.

I don't know what's worse!!! Now I'm thinking the interrupted line could be millions of things... but if it was something simple why didn't J just call me back... He knows I'll freak...
I'll just have to tell myself everything is going to be alright and I'll hear his voice in no time. sooner than later I hope.

thoughts on an American ship in Somalian waters

I have to ask;

Why is the country so Shocked that Pirates attacked an American ship in Somalian waters just because it hadn't happened before?
but as American's all do so well, they fought them off, only to be attacked again..
Prayers are with you out there in that water!! Bring their captain back!!

Emotions; is it time to level out now?

Dear emotions,

I've been thinking about how you are effecting me these days...

How I am not so much the same person I have been in the past because of you.

Well, after I have put some thought it to our situation I have come to a decision.

It is time to take myself back from the rolling ball of PMS that I have become (especially this last month)!
Missing J is one thing, but worrying so much about our future is something I can not do until the Future is here, So Emotions... STOP taking over!

If J doesn't call me day 1, you seem to be fine...
When day 2 of lack of J's voice comes... you make me cranky (and maybe that's funny to you, but I am not amused and neither are some of the people around me),
Day 3 and I'm ehhh OK... but then I hear his voice. Emotions... you have got to stop making me bottle you up for MY own good and the sanity of the people around me...

So Can we PLEASE make a deal?
Though I know that dealing with deployment can make a girl crazy, I also know that I am lucky... J will be back in the states in no time... 6 months is nothing compared to the 12 months, or 18 month deployments some wives or girlfriends have to endure. So though this maybe my first deployment endurance... I think that you Emotions, need to settle... relax, stop making me a CRAZY girl!! August or September (whichever it may be) Will NOT come quicker if you do not stop making me nutty Emotions... Please understand the faster these days go the better relationship you and I will have Emotions.

I hope this little talk has helped you understand that I am ready to LEVEL out now!! :-)

All my love,
Jessica

P.S.
Also it would be nice if you stop keeping me up past 2 am every other night. I would like to start sleeping earlier so I can see more sun rises and feel more rested.
Thanks!!

Waiting for Jacob
