A Summer Song
By, Chad & Jeremy


Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

They say that all good things must end some day
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you
Wish you didn't have to go
No no no no

And when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you
And dream of you





I heard this song the other day when I was in wal-mart, I remember loving it when I was a kid, and I thought this is the perfect saying good-bye to San Diego song!

Valentine's Day

Okay so this my first Valentine's day by myself, since me and Jeremy got Married. It's some-what sad. I remember feeling this way around Christmas time, just a few months ago. About a month before Christmas, it really hit me. What would it be like waking up Christmas morning, just me and the boys. I would be happy yet lonely. I prayed to God, that I wouldn't be lonely, that I would have someone to spend that time with. He answered my prayers, and my parents offered to send Shelby. It was great having her here. On Christmas morning she was the one to wake me up, and get stuff going. She was just as excited as the kids.

But as for today, I do feel some-what empty. I know that I have Jess, and she is great and a wonderful friend, and I'm glad we have each other to lean on, so for that I am thankful. I just really hope that this time apart is still good, even if he isn't here.

Now for those of you wondering... Our plans haven't changed, as far as moving. We are still moving around the May-June time frame. A few days ago I wasn't sure if Jeremy was going to change his plans, but now he's not going to. It's so funny... I really want time to fly, so I can see him again, but yet I don't, because I feel like this move is coming up so fast, and I feel so rushed, and I almost wish I could stay longer. I feel like Haru in "The Cat Returns" (for those of you who haven't seen this movie, well you should), when she is free falling, and Baron tells her to open her eyes, but she says "I can't I'm too scared!" That is how I feel right now. I know the ground is coming, but I'm to scared to open my eyes and do something about it.

Change is coming...

Hey everyone! Well the time has come... for change. I just got an e-mail from Jeremy a few days ago, and we did it. We got recruiting! So what does that mean? Jeremy has to be back on the east coast by June. It is both happy and sad news for me. I am happy because once he gets back, then no more boat! No more silly submarine! I am also sad, because I will miss San Diego. When I left the east coast I wasn't sad because I knew I would sooner or later I'd come back. I know though it's not the same for the west coast. I may never get a chance to come back. It's going to be a really sad good-bye. Yes from my last post you already know this, so I won't go on and on about it. Okay so I'm still not sure where we are going, but it will be one of the 4 following states... Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, or New Jersey. So please keep us in your prayers, that we will have an easy move, and get the right place. Once I know where I will tell you!

The cross roads

Okay so for those of you who don't already know... We are, soon going to have to move again. We don't know where, but that's really not the point of this post. The point is that for the first time, I'm actually kind of sad about the move. Why, you ask? Because I really like (well love) San Diego, and it wasn't like that all of the other times I had to move.

When I moved from Greensboro, MD to Charleston, SC I was excited. I was ready to be out on my own, just Jeremy, Darien, and Me (or so I thought). Charleston was great and beautiful, but I just missed my family way to much. I learned a lot during my time there, but I just felt so lonely. When it came time to move from Charleston, SC to Norfolk, VA, I was also excited I would only be 4 hours away from my family. They were just up the cost, and I was able to visit them a lot. But after living in Norfolk for a while, I started to hate it. It was dirty, and there were to many tunnels. When they said Virginia was for lovers, they lied. So yeah once again when it came time to move to San Diego, CA I was so ready to get out of there.

So San Diego, wow what can I say. It's beautiful here, and the weather is always perfect (always), and that means I can wear whatever I want any time of the year (yeah I'm a girl so I look at things that way). I think the big thing is I've realized that I'll never have a chance to call Greensboro my home again, so I let that thought go, and when I did that, I was living here at the time, so now I feel like this is my home. Yeah it's crazy.

When we first left home, almost 6 years ago, I remember Jeremy telling me that, "things will never be the same", he was talking about home, and how we may never get to live there again. That living away will change us to much, and we won't belong there anymore. I believe him now. It's so sad to say it, but when I go home (to MD), It's not the same. It's a lot like that Switchfoot song "This is Home". There is a line in the first verse it says "I believe you now, I've come to far, no I can't go back, back to how it was." Yeah, story of my life.

Okay now to the reason we have to move. There are no open spots for shore duty here for Jeremy's job in the Navy. Yes we could stay, but Jeremy would have to extend his time on the boat, and that would be like it is now, with him gone a lot. Submarines are gone a lot. We have lived in San Diego for 21 months, and Jeremy hasn't been here for 10 of those months. His time gone has been off and on, but yes all together it's 10 months. So yes if I could get my husband on shore duty, then he wouldn't have to leave me.

Yes so this is the big thing on the mind lately. I'm excited to start the next chapter in my life, but I know I'm going to miss San Diego.
