missing him



gingerbread haunted house cary and i made before he left

 It has been a challenging week. My guy left for the last phase of OCS (Officer Candidate School) so he is on a military base in the midwest. I miss him terribly already. He left Monday. So I am trying to keep busy. He'll be away until mid-March. We are trying to figure out an affordable option for me to potentially visit him just after Christmas. Not sure if it will work out. But it is only for 4 months so we'll make it.

Today I am feeling like I have a cold coming on so laying low. But will see friends this afternoon and my sister later tonight. Going to do a little studying for my state counseling licensure exam first. Hoping to go and study in the little coffee shop in town that I love.

I will be better about updating here!

Happy Saturday!

knitted gift completed

Traveling Woman Shawl

Finished one knitting Christmas gift this past weekend. This one is for my mom...now I want to finish my sister's socks. This weekend will hopefully be a chance to relax. It is much needed. There have been some stressful things in my world this week that have caused a great deal of worry. There are still some worries until more answers come next week. But I am focusing on staying positive. I have the apartment to myself this weekend so I'm hoping to get some knitting done, cleaning, maybe some baking. And then going to the movies with my family tomorrow. I will be seeing The Town for the second time. Loved that movie filmed in Boston. Nice to see some authentic Boston accents in a movie!

Happy Saturday!
