Waiting sucks!!!!

John has been busy over the past 2 weekends and this makes the waiting just worse :(

Since I gave up my job, the only thing I do is waiting for every minute, that I can talk to him.

OK in the morning I'll go over to my mom and have breakfast with her, but after that...I am sitting home, watching TV and wait for him to come online...lol...sounds boring??? It actually isn't!!! I LIVE for every word we share and usualy at the weekends, we talk more :( But as I said, he has been very busy over the past 2 weekends and I miss him *sigh*

I am waiting for any word of him and I am waiting for the time to fly by, so I can be in his arms.....I guess I'll have to be patient huh :unsure:

Just needed to ramble a bit :blush: ....because I have nothing better to do, since I am WAITIIIIIIIIIIIIIING hehehe

Awww, hugs Diana! Hang in there! The waiting sucks, but it will be over soon and then you won't ever have to go through this again. And at least now you have a date to look forward to in knowing when the waiting will be finished and you will be going home to your love.

Here's to time going faster!!!

Well my baby went to the embassy in Managua this morning to pick up his packet for the interview. If all goes well they should tell him the interview date. He was really nervous last night about going to the emabassy alone. I've tired to call him but he must still be inside 'cause I just get his voicemail...the waiting is killing me...will let y'all know when I hear something... :blink:

Good luck, Eli! I'm sure he'll walk out of there with that interview date. Hang in there, and try to do something that will keep your mind occupied until you hear from him (I know, I know easier said than done ;) )

Oh yes....going HOME....that is right :)

Since I am back from Florida, Germany doesn't feel like home anymore....home is where my baby is....and he is not here...so take a guess!!! :P

Soon you will be with Paul...I hope you still keep us posted when he is there?!?! JAJAJAJA

Diana

Of course I'll keep you posted. How could I let down my VJ friends? :) Paul said the same thing about being here with me being his home. As soon as he got back to Germany things just didn't feel right anymore; there was something missing (me, i guess ;) )

Soon, yes...1 week, wow. I bought a new outfit this weekend to wear when I meet him at the airport, hehe. And he has had his bags packed for a month! No joke, he's been living out of his suitcase for like a month. That really showed me he is ready to come home :P Ah and I'm so ready to have him here.

So are you ready for the weather change when you move to Florida? Paul thought it was hot here in Texas in October and November, so I'm a bit worried how he's going to feel about the summer around July and August! Yikes. I just moved back to the South from Indiana less than a year ago (I grew up here though), but I'm not sure if I am even readjusted to the hot weather yet. The plus side is that it has been warm enough to go swimming for about a month now, and I've been living at our pool all weekend. :D

Uh oh, think I might be rambling again (shocking coming from me, I know ;) )

Is it tomorrow yet? ;)
