every time i see your avatar i think of this shirt i had in middle school that was EXACTLY what your avatar is. exact same print and design

I have never been to Jacksonville but DB and I are planning on getting married, we are not officially engaged yet but I think it is coming very soon. I am transferring to school down there in the fall. But anyway I really hope I will be there when he leaves, I know his family is going down and I would like to go with them but it will be midterm week for me and I am already missing a week to go to Chicago when my brother graduates boot camp in Feb. He will get leave but it will only be a few days and he wants to spend some of it with his family and I will be in school so I won't even see him the entire time!! I'm sorry for writing a book haha!

Jacksonville was where DB's station was and where he deployed from. Not really a fun place to visit, so we just went out to eat and wondered around base and stayed in the hotel most of the time. Are you going to go there for the departure? If you do, the Candle Wood Inn is a good hotel and I think it's right next to the Holiday Inn and that one is good too. There's a lot of hotels that aren't that nice there so you have to watch where you stay if your not at the onbase hotel.
I'm sorry your so stressed out. I hate that they send them to schools and training right before deployment so we don't get to be with them. Are they giving him leave before he goes?

Hey just wanted to message you and say HI. I'm here if you want to talk. I found its helps to have people around that know what your going through; to vent, talk about deployment and LDR, or just talk about random stuff with to keep you mind busy so you don't freak out and get overwhelmed. Do you know when and where your DB is deploying to?
