Wow--been a while since I've posted!!! Since my last update, I've graduated college, have been offered (and accepted) a full time mental health professional position at the local hospital, and applied to a handful of PhD programs!! I've been quite busy and productive, and am so excited about all these changes and accomplishments!!
Perhaps, however, the biggest and most recent change is currently the most exciting...As everyone knows from my older posts, I'm currently engaged to the most amazing man on the planet (seriously...THE most amaznig) and am currently in the planning stages of our wedding! He makes my dreams come true every single day, and I couldn't thank him enough for that. He believes in me, loves me, and makes me feel like a princess. This "granted wish" however, takes the cake..
As some of you know, my "official" proposal from Dan came when we took our first vacation together at Walt Disney World (the unofficial one (lol) came before that because he couldn't wait any longer <3, but the real, down on one knee, tears in his eyes, sobbing done by me happened there) during my favorite fireworks show "Wishes." As we've been planning the wedding, I've been telling Dan I want to have aspects of Disney there, not only because of the proposal, but because, hands down, without a doubt, it is my favorite place on this whole entire Earth, and the place where so many of my favorite memories with both my family and Dan have happened.
Last night, while looking for ideas for favors, I threw a personalized Cinderella themed candle holder idea off Dan. "Yeah...it's alright, but there's other ways to fit Cinderella into the wedding..." Confused, I asked him to clarify. He asked me to get up from my computer, and go get a drink. Again, confused, I asked him to clarify. "Just do it Jess." Since he used Jess, and not honey or love, I knew he meant business...
As I returned to the office from the kitchen, he promptly asked me to close my eyes. I did, handing him his drink and setting mine down carefully, before he guided me over to my chair. I opened my eyes, and on the screen I saw the website for Disney's Enchanted Weddings, a site I've looked at constantly for years. "I've seen this before babe...hundreds of times," I told Dan as he smiled at me. "We could NEVER afford this."
"Whatever you say!" he replied as he went to sit at his desk. "Make sure you keep August 25th open-I know Cinderella marked it down already."
I called him a jerk, among other things, for teasing me like that, until he began to tell me more confirmation information. "They just need you to call on Monday to tell them details."
I sobbed.
And sobbed.
And sobbed some more.
My BIGGEST dream that I've had since I was a little girl is coming true!! I'm marrying my Prince Charming at the most magical and happiest place on Earth!
BUT...it gets better. Our families are helping to get 10 of our closest friends there as well! We're investigating costs now (plane vs. driving, etc.) and I'm so excited to tell them once we know! Knowing that I'm marrying the man of my dreams, and having my bridesmaids and closest friends there is absolutely amazing!
I can't believe this is happening, even as I type it now...it still hasn't set it! AH!! All I can tell you is, I AM SO EXCITED!

I could use some advice...
Hey all you readers (ok, the 5 of you that religiously follow this HAHA!)
I could use some advice...It's currently 3:15am NY time (thought I would throw that in for all you non-NY readers) and I'm still awake. Why you ask? Nope, it isn't homework, or laundry, or the furry kids or insomia. It's not because a tv show I want to watch is on, or because I have something baking in the oven...
It's because my husband isn't home (ok not husband yet, but close enough). He's currently 9 hours and 15 minutes in to his 12 hour shift, which means I have been missing him for the 9 hours and 45 minutes I've been without him.
And I can't sleep...not without him here. I hate going to bed first, and therefore, act like a total idiot and stay up until 6:30 am when he gets home so we can fall asleep together. Downfall of this plan-10 am class when he gets to sleep all day! lol
Here comes your part: the advice. Pretty soon (with the 'hurry up and wait' mentality of the military I can't give you a date yet) he'll be gone for many multiple 12 hour shifts in a row...12 hour shifts that equal 3 whole months of going to bed first, and even if I stay up until 6:30 am, he won't be coming home.
And I have no idea how to deal with this...
Clearly I can't stay awake for 3 months straight and sleep when he gets home! So readers...what is your advice? I know none of you are military wives, but I'm sure you've had to deal with similar stations at some point or another. So, help me out, because I'm getting wayyy too tired for my own good!

Just a Note.
Dear President Obama,
I hear you would like to freeze pay rates, or worse, eliminate them all together, for soldiers starting next year, and even those currently enlisted. Would you also consider cutting your own pay to save more money for our country? While you're at it, let's cut down all congressman's pay too. If the people who risk their lives don't get an increase in pay, why should we continue raising pay for those who take no risks and reap the benefits? Seems like everyone in Washington is doing alright, and able to walk the streets safely...am I wrong? Didn't think so. What you are doing is unfair! Can't wait until 2012 when someone knew sits in that Oval Office.
Sincerely,
A pissed off military (almost) wife

To whom it may concern:
Let me start by saying the following: No, this isn't about you...or you...or the person you think this is about. This is a collection feelings and emotions, ones I can't speak about anymore because, in many cases, I feel as though I can't talk to those closest to me anymore.
This is me speaking my mind, something that is causing my hands to shake as I write this. This is me being honest, something I should have been with these individuals. This is me, writing to the collective "you," although each and every person reading this can benefit from it's words. This is me poring my heart out, and knowing that could be detrimental, but being so upset about all of this, I don't have the capacity to care anymore...
To whom it may concern:
Hi, how are you? I sincerely hope that you are having an amazing day, as you always seen to be, even if that is a lie. I most certainly, truthfully, am not. Why you ask? Well let's see...I don't lead an amazing lifestyle, and don't fabricate it to sound amazing. Ends aren't meeting this month, and it's really stressing me out. I'm marrying my best friend in 2 weeks, and shortly thereafter saying goodbye to him. He could be going somewhere terrifyingly scary, and the thought of that causes me to be unable to hold it together most moments in the day. School is insane, and I can't wait to graduate-although I'm not sure if I will. Life is crazy, and everything is falling apart. I've never needed support as much as I do now.
I've been turning to you for this, and you haven't been there...not in the slightest. I hate the mini parties I have internally when you say that you want to hang out with me. I get excited when you text me first, as opposed to the other way around. But lately, those parties and exciting times have become few and far between. Countless texts have gone unanswered, or pushed aside for television or another outing. I can't remember the last time I had to state my case for you spending time with me. And, above all else, you questioned my best friend and his position in the United States Military. Just because you think you know it all, doesn't mean you actually do. In this questioning process, you offended not only myself and my to be husband, but his commanding officers and unit as well. Awesome job. I don't care if you hurt me-I'm used to it-but hurting them is not okay in my book.
I'm tired of coming in second place to other friends, the couch, shopping trips and countless other things. I'm not saying you have to be with me or talk to me 110% of the time, but damn it step up! I look to you for guidance and support, and feel like I'm not getting either. I'm embarking into this really terrifying time in my life, and have no idea what to expect or do. I can guarantee you one thing though, I can't do it alone.
I love you...you're one of my closest friends and will always, as cliche as it sounds, have a special place in my heart. With that being said, however, I can't keep hurting. I can't keep crying over this friendship day in and day out. I can't keep feeling the way I do currently. It kills me to feel inadequate, and that is how you make me feel day in and day out...I'm at a loss for what to do about it anymore.
With all the love a friend can give,
Jess

Man up...It's go time.
It's crazy how little things can make a situation real. A friend request on Facebook can make a friendship "real." A final stroke of a key can make a paper complete. A wedding dress and wedding bands can make the fact that I'm getting married real, and a date of when my man is leaving, makes the fact that he will be gone, a reality.
In case you couldn't gather, yes, we know when he's leaving...and it's soon. So soon. Sooner than I would like (although never is too soon for me). In a matter of weeks, I'm going to be Jessica Lyn Munson, he'll be at boot camp, and there's no turning back after that!
I have Dan's wedding band already, and, as I said in a text to my sister today, I keep looking at it and just want it to be on his finger already! It's so crazy to think about...a wife, let alone a military wife!? It literally makes me breathless when I think about it (that's a good thing I promise!).
In other news, only 58 days until I am a college graduate, which means only about 70 days until I am a full time employee. Don't get me wrong, sooo excited to be working full time, but I like the college bubble! Sure, papers and readings totally aren't my favorite things, but all this responsibility is coming so quickly! At least I'm smiling while I say this right?!
Speaking of responsibilities, the puppy needs to go out and this paper needs to be written! Now for a quote...hmm...
“Growing up is never easy. You hold on to things that were. You wonder what's to come. But that night, I think we knew it was time to let go of what had been, and look ahead to what would be. Other days. New days. Days to come."-The Wonder Years
Until later...

Changes...
Hey Everyone!
Ok, ok...I didn't keep up with the one post a day thing! I'm mad enough at myself for it, so don't worry about getting on my case too much! Things like school, a house, 3 new furry kiddos and major life changes (not including those already mentioned) have definitely gotten in the way...I think maybe once a week is a good goal for where I'm at in my life currently. We'll see how that goes!
I guess the biggest life change(s) I seemed to gloss over before was the fact that, in a matter of weeks, I'll be saying goodbye to the most important person in my life. My soon (sooner than planned) husband is going to be off to basic training for the military. I've never felt so many emotions at once before. The military is and has always been a dream of his. While in college, at RIT, Dan (said hubby-to-be) was in the Air Force ROTC program. Upon returning from Basic, he was hit head on by a drunk driver, leaving him in a coma, and thus forcing him to leave his unit. He's (thank God) recovered completely, and and itching for another go at being a soldier. He'll be off to training in either South Carolina or Georgia for 12 long weeks of no civilian contact.
That's where I come in-the civilian. No contact with him for 12 hours seems like the biggest challenge in the world and you want me to not talk to him for 12 weeks?! That sounds like a jail sentence for me. Sure, sending letters is one thing, but no response...I can't even imagine...
I can't really describe how I'm feeling overall. Ask my closest friends and they'll tell you it ranges from extreme pride to fear to anger to nervousness back to pride, which quickly turns to, as one of my friends calls it "happy or sad tears" depending on the emotion that came before them-all of this in a matter of minutes mind you. I'm so happy that my man is able to follow his dreams of being a soldier, and don't get me wrong, I'm so ecstatic to be a military wife, and hold down the home-front while he's gone.
It's just all happening so fast.
One minute it was a phone call, the next it was a checklist of things to make sure we do before he leaves and an appointment card for his medical authorization. I feel like I don't really have anyone to talk to about this, vent to about it, or get answers from. Lack of information scares me, and I think that's what is making me as anxious as I am. I'm sure, as most people are saying, everything will be fine-it's just so much at once. In a matter of weeks I'll be married and living in our new house, alone...
I know that's a somber ending, and far from how I'm feeling (these are happy tears, I swear!), but it's the truth of the situation. Life changes aren't always easy or well understood-that's why we as humans hate change. At this point, I'm rolling with the punches, accepting what is coming day by day, and buying lots of red, white and blue...

The last person who calls you calls again, what's it about?
Probably to let me know he's outside to pick me up so we can have our late night Walmart shopping date =)
