Another day spent at home sick. Today congestion was added onto my cough but at least my throat is not sore.

Brandon and I talked over our plans for August. We are going to be spending as much time together as possible. We plan on going swing dancing, having a bonfire, going to the beach, karate, cooking, and spending time with my family.

Our four month anniversary is next week!

I'm still sick. I stayed home all day relaxing, playing computer games, watching Hulu, and skyping with Brandon. I'm hoping that I'm better tomorrow because, besides skyping Brandon, I do not like staying home sick.

I don't know how married couples can be apart for long periods of time. I have a new appreciation for the women who are apart from their husbands because of work. I don't like being apart from Brandon and we are only dating. I know that it hurts Brandon to be apart especially when I'm sick. I hope I get better soon for his sake as well as mine.

I woke up this morning not feeling too bad so I went into the dojo to teach summer camp. By lunch time I was wiped out and my cough was worse so I stayed home for the rest of the day. Brandon and I skyped for several hours. We talked about all sorts of things and I got some stuff off my chest. I'm glad that I can share anything with him. Sometimes it is hard to let him know how I feel but it's way easier than telling anyone else. When dinner time rolled around everyone was really busy so I ended up cooking dinner. It wiped me out but I'm looking forward to eating it. Dinner should be done in a few minutes. So I have to go.

I decided to take it easy today and spend it resting. I watched movies, read my Bible, and even took a nap. It really helped to talk to Brandon during his lunch break and again tonight. We texted throughout the day as well. I feel well taken care of by him even though he is in another state. The thing I lack is his arms around me and his kiss goodnight. But I won't be lacking that for long.

I woke up this morning with a slight sore throat and a cough. I had an appointment in Brea to get fitted for my bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding. I had thought of spending tonight at my grandparents but decided against it because I was sick. I don't need to be spreading my germs around. I drove about four hours to get down there. The dress fit almost perfectly and needed only slight alterations. It will be ready by the end of the month. I then drove back home. It was a lot of driving but I didn't mind. I listened to the radio the whole way, singing and meditating on songs. I prayed and worshiped like I always do on long car drives by myself. When there were no Christian radio stations, I listened to random stations and popular songs. I enjoy almost any type of music. I thought of Brandon constantly. I thanked God for expressing His love through Brandon as well as in all the other ways He does.

The sky was beautiful today. Some days beautiful things make me cry. Today was one of those days. It was a really good day.

Some days I miss him more than others. The past couple days I have missed him a lot. I'm really looking forward to August.

Brandon went hiking today. I started to wish I was hiking also but then I remembered that he was working while I was having a fun time on the 4th of July. So then I didn't mind working while he was hiking. I know that someday soon we will be hiking together. I'm looking forward to that day.

For some reason I was incredibly hungry today. I ate more than I have been eating. This is a good thing. I have stopped losing weight and may even gain some back if my appetite continues.

I was really missing Brandon today and wishing that he was holding me tight.
