Tattoo

So the day is finally around the corner; I'm getting my tattoo tomorrow! I believe I will feel more complete and be more at peace once I have my tattoo. I really would have preferred to have had it done around the anniversary of Wil's death but at least it will be easier to take care of in the summer. I can't believe its already been four and a half years without Wil. I miss him everyday and now I can officially honor his life in a manner that is permanent and will stay with me everywhere I go. I can't even explain how much I think I need this and I'm so excited that its going to happen tomorrow!

I am also so happy that my family is coming with me. I am so lucky that I have a mom that thinks this is wonderful and wants to watch me get it. I really need to make sure I do not take my family for granted and perhaps this tattoo can even symbolize that.

No Longer Long Distance

So as the clock continues to tick and as I begin to get comfortable in my own skin again, my perspectives shifts in a positive direction. Matt is recovering quickly and his positive attitude is coming back. We are doing to much better than I had anticipated. The sooner this knee situation comes to an end the sooner he can get his life back on track and then we can get our life together back on track. I feel so hopeful about this. There are still a few doctor's appointments and physical therapy sessions remaining but in about six weeks he will probably be able to return to work and then in the fall he can go back to school. He amazes me everyday and I am so proud of the man that he is and is still trying to become. It is such a relief to finally, for the first time in my life, be part of a normal short distance relationship. I am grateful for many of the obstacles that we had to go through as a couple to become what we are but it is nice to know that when August hits I do not have to leave him anymore; that I can start to slow down a bit and enjoy each day.

I am also super excited for my Mom and I can't wait until we move in to the house! Secondly, I received my graduation/birthday present from Matt yesterday; yay for Wii!!!! The Wii Fit is also awesome and I hope I can stick with a exercise schedule!

All in all, life is good!
