Another Taste of the Corps

It seems FI and I are getting another taste of the Marines lately. I posted a few days ago how in 2 weeks I'm supposed to fly out to visit him for the Marine Corps ball and we were also scheduled to get our engagement pictures taken. We've had this planned for months lol But we all know that being able to plan things is not normally how it goes in the military. Well last night we find out that now he's going into the field for training while I'm supposed to be out there. No ball and no pictures. I'm not sure whether I should shorten my trip while I'm out there, or just save my vacation time for when we can actually spend some time together. I'm not upset and I'm fully aware that things like this happen and that I just have to get over it. It's just a bummer when you have all these special things to look forward to with each other and then it all changes with one phone call. Grrrrr. I'm eating pizza tonight.

    Not upset?
    I would be upset.
    Yeah, I get it. It's part of the military, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck. Let yourself be upset over it, just make sure you're not upset with FI over it.
    I'm sorry.. That totally blows. Eat pizza and crack a bottle of wine.

    I am with FTL here.  I would be upset/annoyed but of course not with FI.  I would try to make the best out of it.  I would get that pizza, open some wine and put in a chick flick that FI would never want to watch.  Oh and put on a mud mask or something and make it your own little spa weekend.

    This exactly! Oh and I'd probably be super bad - and have some ice cream - out of the container.

    You girls are right. Most definitely not upset with FI by any means. Just very frustrated since we've had this planned for months now. We were both so excited and looking forward to all of it. I know it's part of the military lifestyle, but they don't have to suck all the fun and excitement out of everything. Sheesh. I guess I'll just have to save my dress for next year's ball, and now at least I have my outfits for when we can actually get engagement pictures taken. I think I will do a mud mask too and make myself feel pretty. And the ice cream out of the container doesn't sound like a bad idea either. I might even sit on the couch in nothing but my underwear and drink wine out of a pretty glass while watching whatever I want on tv.

    When I made them, I didn't add the chocochips though, because I dunked the dough in chocolate.

    I'm going to attempt to make that tonight :) Looks like I'll be having a fatty weekend too lol Oh well, I'm giving myself a free pass. I just discovered Pinterest, and let's just say, I'm addicted. I couldn't stop myself last night. It's pretty much the shiznit. But hey, just one more thing to add to my list of things to do to pass the time while we're apart!
