First phone call!

Today was a good day.. okay well to be honest it was kind of a blah day. Was missing Russell a lot, it was starting to sink it as my day went by that I haven't heard from him since he had gotten there. First thing I did was grab my devotional book specifically for military spouses, faith deployed. I had never read a devotional from that book so I thought why not? I read it and it spoke about trusting in God when we feel lonely.

So throughout my day I put on my smiles and my happy face and went about my day. Went to work, and there are pictures of Russell and I in my office. So of course I miss him so I tear up... but then instantly thought of God. Listening to the Christian radio this morning it was talking about how God takes away from us so we can become closer to him. If Russell was here all my focus would be on him, not God. I need to remember to TRUST in God. A song came on and it said "my heart breaking but I am still in your hand." No matter WHAT we are going through or where we are, God is with us. To me that makes me feel close with Russell while he is gone, as we are both in Gods hands together.

Anyway =] then I came home for an hour then off to class till 930, Caught up on some 30 rock, AND The office, but during the office my phone rang!!! It was Russell!! We spoke for 35 mins and 22 seconds! He just got out of the shower and hasn't had one in 3 days! It was so nice to hear his voice, I reminded him sweetest day is saturday, we will see if he remembers ;] I feel a little at ease knowing he misses me too. Hanging up is the hard part. I have such fuzzies in my tummy when we talk but when we hang up I feel sick to my tummy. Just missing him I suppose.

Just finished up a little German homework now I'm off to bed! I have to throw the string for Remington a bit as he thinks hes a dog, and blow out the candles.. if they could only learn how to do that.. =]
