' In The Navyyyy'

My bestie Paul has sadly (for me) been traveling and relocating allover the US as a helicopter pilot in the Navy for the past 3+ years & has just relocated (until June--yes, as in 6 months from now) to his 5 ft wide of a bedroom/ hole and beast of a home at SEA. I am so fascinated by this as he cant communicate to anyone unless they are docked at port for like, all of the 6 months he's at sea. We can email, etc but I cant just call him at all odd hours of the day any longer! He's been living in Hawaii for awhile now so I've been accustomed to our odd hour chats. I hate it. I absolutely hate that he's a pilot. I've never told him this and I probs shouldn't mention it as he's told me a time or two before that he enjoys reading my blogs. Lets hope his Internet isn't working from whatever foreign island he's stopping through. Otherwise, sorry babe I love you mucho but I hate having to worry about where you're at, and if you're safe and if your very uber dangerous helicopter that you're flying is going to be able to lift off of the boat landing strip (I'm imagining you're practicing off of it like Pearl Harbor so if you're not, ignore my dramatics). In all seriousness, I'm so proud of him for doing something that scares him everyday and fascinates him everyday as I know that this has always been a goal of his (next to being a dentist way back when we were in college). But I selfishly want him closer than he is way across the world literally floating on the water in a ridiculously claustrophobic 3 bunk bedroom on a massive 400 person boat. Below are the pics he sent me last week as he was unpacking his 'room'--aka shithole that makes a prison cell look enticing--and super excited about the adventure ahead. Paul, if you're reading this I miss you & love you and hope you enjoyed reading your shout out. If you're lonely & homesick just remember ' we'll all float on anyway'--- literally in your case now :) Oh, and call me as soon as you can to fill me in on how much fun you're having! xo.


Paul has the bottom bed of 3...seriously? Yikes.

Peace Be With You ;)
