I've been consumed with writing since Kelly left. I've got this blog and I've written him almost everyday about the small events in my everday life and the several paged letters are begging to pile up in my notebook. I'm increasingly proud of my ability to describe the insiginificant details of everday things; I just wrote a paragraph in today's letter about the miraculous showerhead my father installed in the bathroom we're using out here. He told me to make the letters as detailed as possible, so I'm just following his orders.
It helps that I'm out here on vacation with everything from the water to the skyscrapers to describe to him. I'm trying to take pictures of everything to add that extra umph to the letters. Of course, I have to wait until I get home to send them; I need to know his unit and a specific color to dot the envelopes with before mailing anything out to him. I already have a plan, too. I researched what and how to mail to your soldier online, and I learned that they get a daily mail call--even in BCT. So I'm going to write a bunch while out here and then, once I get his address, I'm going to mail one letter a day so he'll have at least one good thing happen to him every day. I'm just hoping that I can keep in the swing of writing to him after school really starts up.
I'm also scanning the letters to my laptop and printing out a copy for the book of letters I have been writing to him since March 2010. It's a precautionary method incase he loses them or someone steals them. I don't want any huge gaps in what is essentially the story of our relationship.
