i am back in the states. as ready as i'll ever be to face 8 weeks separated from my love again. it was amazing to be together and i am so thankful beyond words! but, now it's back to work  - only 2 months left in the school year. it's spring, so the weather is improving. and more than anything else, i am so in love. gonna focus on all the positives right now and get through this one last time of being apart. cannot wait to be together always! soon i'll feel home forever.
