Times Flies (Really?)

I found, that while Bear was away at boot camp, it was easier to stay busy than think about when he was coming home. The time just seemed to slip away and days blurred together. Now, while he's away at MOS (that's job training for all of you who don't know military lingo. I still haven't gotten a hold on it yet. =) ) he's allowed to talk to me every weekend. And we chat like crazy. When we're not talking on the phone, I'm texting him. And it seems to make the time go by slow. I guess it's because I'm waiting for the weekend arrive instead of taking each day as it comes. I don't think I'll ever get my old routine back.

Another thing. Something I miss more than everything else about Bear. It's the little things that he does. I realized this when I was texting him last weekend and I asked if his buddies asked what he was doing yet (They were on liberty). His answer? "Yeah and I told them I'm talkin to my girl." Say it with me. Aw. I loved that so much. for those of you who are wrinkling your brow and wondering how i can liked be called "his girl" as if I'm some kind of possession, I'll explain. When Bear says "his girl" or "his baby", he's saying it in such a way that he's implying that it's a part of him. i just loved it when he does that. =)

The funniest thing he does? And doesn't want his buddies to know about? He gives Eskimo kisses! You know the kiss where you rub your nose against the other person's? Yeah, that one. And he does it all on his own. I think that's right up there with kissing your cheek and top of you head along with planning a night out all on their own. It's funny because anytime I'm "mad", I just tell him that I'll tell all his buddies that he likes Eskimo kisses. He makes the cutest sad face! Like a puppy not wanting to get scolded. This, of course, is all in good fun. I'd never tell if he didn't want me to (at least to his buddies). Then he'd probably stop. That right up there with biting the hand that feeds you.
