civil war.

My best friend, my other half, is still in another country. Luckily, we've been able to talk online for about an hour a day. I've managed to not cry at all. Nights are still super hard though. I miss him so much. I can't wait to see and hear him again. The sound of his voice in the morning and night will be a welcome returning presence in my life. :)

Yesterday, we got to attend a civil war reenactment after church. The reenactment was actually well done, although we made fun of a few characters for having a seemingly endless number of lives. The food was amazing-- I had some of the best chicken strips ever. Made from fresh, real, chicken breast, hand breaded as I ordered. There were deep fried Oreos and Snickers, which we have been unable to find for a few years. Those were also fantastic! Then we stopped off at Wal-Mart on our way home. Mom bought me a couple shirts, some nail polish (although I rarely use it) and Glenn Beck's new thriller, The Overton Window I highly recommend it! :D Also, Mom and Dad decided to pay me $150.00 for my old Canon Powershot, which means I now have enough money for a 75-300mm lens that I've been wanting. However, I'm now wondering if I should wait and save up for an 18-200mm lens, or possibly a 55-200mm. It's only about another hundred dollars. Then again, I should really be saving for college, since Mom and Dad have nothing saved for me at all, and I want to attend college with my husband.

Opinions, even though no one reads this? :P

P.S. Pictures from the reenactment are coming, as are a few from the barn. :)
