Overdoing it leads to being sick :(

I have been doing great on avoiding the dreaded "sick." Sadly, with all of my rehearsals and late nights--see tonight--I have managed to get a cold. I have been taking cold medicine and drinking so much water I am always going to the bathroom! I suppose that's a good thing though.


The concert went surprsingly well! I managed not to make a complete fool of myself and it was rather enjoyable. I am glad that it's over though. The wind is howling like crazy so I don't really want to be driving back and forth over the pass.


I just talked to Alan for a good amount of time on IM. It's great having the best husband ever! I have found that all of my friends have "The Best Husband Ever." I feel so great knowing that me and the ones that I love dearly have great spouses too. We are very blessed to have amazing men in our lives! This deployment has helped our relationship in more ways than one. Yes it's hard sometimes, but where our relationship needed the most work it seems to be helping.


Communication had never been our strong point. I mean we could talk, but that was after a disagreement over when to cook dinner. We were never entirely open about our feelings and would argue over petty things a lot. Now, being away, we can't wait to share everything with each other! I feel our openess with our feelings has jumped so much since we've been apart. I guess since that's about the only way we know how to stay super close...be 110 percent honest with each other. Overall, it seems to be working out great! I love him so much and am thankful EVERY DAY for all that he does.


I got together with Erika tonight and we did our theory homework at Denny's. Call me crazy, but it was kinda cool! I felt like a real college student...studying and doing homework! It was great :) Luckily we both understand 7th chords really well so figuring out the inversions wasn't hard at all. Although, we will know for sure how well we understand it once we get the assignments back...ahh! I don't know , I have just been trying to not second guess myself.


Okay, the wind is REALLY howling and it's kind of scary. I used to be terrified of the wind when I was younger, I'd always end up in my parent's room scared to death! Now I'm just totally freaked and cold. Well i really should get some rest since I have a very busy week ahead of me still! Anyway, good night everyone! Love you all and am definitely thinking about you! Ahh I have the greatest friends ever! Love to my Virginia ladies whom I miss very much! And of course lots of love to my Heather and Maegs, both who know me better than anyone else. Ooo, almost forgot, the most important person of all, my Alan!! I love you soooo much babe and I can't WAIT for you to come home on vaca!!! Good night : )
