Let's Start This Thing

Day one. First blog. I can safely assure you that I have never done this before, you know write a blog. Well I guess a good way to kick this off is to introduce myself. My name is Kaily and I am a member of the U.S. Air Force. That pretty much sums up a lot  of who I am currently. I used to be a musician of the vocal sort. I gave that up to join the Air Force and am not quite sure that it was worth it, but I've got to see my four year commitment through at least. My boyfriend, Nick, is also in the Air Force and is currently deployed to the Middle East. He should be coming back in the middle of February! That is pretty much the most exciting thing on the horizon of my life. I also should be going home to Los Angeles in the beginning of February. It will be a much needed break from being on Okinawa, Japan, and my job. I have never been away from my family for as long as I have been now and it's only been 6 months! I miss them like crazy but thinking about my homecoming gets me through everyday. Well, that and Nick getting back. I feel like my life has been on hold since he left. It's crazy waking up and not having him here next to me. I continuously dream about what it will be like when he comes home. It is a struggle some days with him gone. Not being able to talk to him when I want to is a pain and just the fact that we are apart and a fairly new couple is stressful. It's a little rough but I'm hoping we will find the strength to make it through this rocky sea. I view it as a challenge for us and if we can make it past this then we are golden. I'm actually waiting for him to get on skype and talk to him right now so I should probably wrap this up. I guess we will see where this blog goes, because as of now, there really isn't a direction!
