Okay, so yesterday I told you guys I was going over to Cookies house after the house visitor left, right? Well it turns out that it was the best time I had over there. He was sweet and romantic and caring and considerate and most defiantly goofy. For the past month and a half him and his mom who I've been calling mom, have been working on a garden in their HUGE back yard. Well I was so tired of hearing "Cookie has to till" or "Cookie needs to design the chicken coop", so I put my foot down and said "I want to help." Well this is what got done, remember her yard is HUGE... We got the mowing done, the tilling done, the veggies picked and harvested (she planted a few months early), we got the yard weeded and we got that stupid chicken coop designed out on paper... Now I didn't go over there to help, I went to spend time with Cookie, it just turned out me helping because I got tired of hearing he need to do so much in such a short amount of time.
Now I know I have been talking about Cookie a lot and him leaving and this is why. In September, on our 7 or 8 month anniversary, he will be leaving for basics. It will be on the anniversary date itself which is a bummer but hey, he's gotta do what he's gotta do. I love him, and for once I can look you in the eyes and say I love him. He's my knight in shining armor. He is my Marines and I am so proud to call him mine. Cookie is 2 years older than me grade wise.. but only a year and a half in age. I was born in July of 95 and he was born in January of 94. I'm gonna miss him dearly but when I went over to his house talked about how things are gonna work and how we are gonna make it through because I'M not the only one that wants to make it work while he is gone. He sat me down and told me that we could Skype or IMO. We could text each other when he could, or call when he had his down time and he swore that every night he would write to me, and that made me start to cry, so he held me and told me everything was gonna work out and fall into place. I just pray he is right. Its hard to come by a guy like that. He's my Cookie and I'm his Little Butterfly.
Okay so you guys heard my mom talk about how we stay up late watching Army Wives or the Secret Life, and how we stay up till 1 in the morning playing card games or Yahtzee. Well this might be a fact but I am still the greatest. She will leave me in the dust when it comes to Yahtzee or Rummy but when it comes to UNO... I win 89% of the time. Don't get me wrong I'm good at the other games but my all time favorite is UNO. My mom is amazing and intelligent and always know how to make me smile. When we play cards, we're not competetive. We mainly like to spend as much time together because here in a year I will be graduating and 2 months after that I will be a legal adult. We talk about my future and we talk about Daddy and the boys and finding jobs and the latest episode of Army Wives, which he got me addicted to. I owe everything to her, and one of these days, I'll prove it to her that I can be the best daughter she has ever had because sometimes I don't feel like it, I don't feel like I can do anything right. That's another reason why our late night games are special to me.
Now I know I just started this an all and am trying to be like my mom who to me is the best blogger out there so far, but as an American Teenager who lives at home and like to be locked away in her cubbyhole of a room with ear buds attacked to her ears at all times, its hard to live an exciting life. Its hard to say, hey I went there or yeah we did that, but I'm NOT picky. I take what I can get and be happy with it no matter what it is. I love my family very much and I love Cookie and my other mom very much and all of them make me very happy. This is just a catch up blog on how I roll and who everyone is and such.... sigh now I have to find something to do for the rest of the day... If anyone has some ideas, leave them in the comments
Until Next time,
Best Wishes, ML-MG
