I dislike the taste of bitter -sweet

Well for the past two months we have been waiting and my boyfriend has been working hard to obtain a great opportunity/assignment that was delivered to him. He had to go through a lot of paper work,calls and favors but he got the orders, he will be leaving for 75 days!!!  this is the longest we will not be able to see each other thus far. The time keeps going through my mind 75 days, 75 days all summer long, all summer long...

The sweet part- the pay will be very helpful and the opportunities and networking he will be able to do is beyond amazing. He will be with Officers the entire time as they go through a training. This will be good for him to be able to network with officers see what they have gone through to get there and get advise, possibly help from them to move along quicker in that direction. In the Army this is possibly the easiest and best way to move up, by the people you know and the favors they can do.

Hes been so nervous waiting and waiting for his orders. He could not breathe until he saw his orders. He would check his email on a minute to minute basis-seriously! I on the other hand was like if he doesn't go whew I can see him but then the possibilities this event can take him will be lost. So I had to suck it up and pray with him to get these orders...and he did and my reaction was exactly bitter sweet! but he is excited and cant wait. He leaves sooner than we thought. I will miss him greatly!I miss him just thinking about it.

Wait, who's is going to cut my grass?
