Mi Media Naranja
What is Media Naranja? Literally Half an Orange or Orange Sock, figuratively it is a Spanish phrase for "my other half."
56 letters. One a day from 9/3 (when I leave UK) -10/28 (anniversary) ❤ (Taken with Instagram)
I got to skype with Sean today (yay!!!!) and he told me a story i just think is great.
His Corporal was talking to him last week about me. They tend to ask him about me a lot, since he is one of the only guys in his platoon that is in a serious relationship. A few others have recently entered a relationship, but they have also cheated, and just have made it evident that there heart isn’t in it. Anyways, his Corporal pulled him aside and said, “Just a word of advice, you need to tie this down and put a ring on her finger soon before you lose her forever.” (They always have a way of twisting something romantic and cute into something tragic like me leaving him haha). But i coudln’t help but smile at that haha.
It definitely makes me feel better hearing those stories over the stories of his battle buddies and platoon guys telling him to cheat and that i won’t ever know, or stuff like that. Also, i prefer this attitude from the corporal over their usual view on marriage- which is don’t do it. I know in Sean’s barracks they have a few posters up with stats about failed marriages in the army- no one needs to read that.
when i can wake up to my own “erotica” emails haha.
And i haven’t caved to read the books yet, but this kind of sex scene intrigues me much more than Christian Grey’s.
TMI is over. haha
i miss it.
Plus Sean made me happy the other night reminding me that the distance doesn’t have to change our communication and bonding. I had a lot on my mind and was struggling to sleep, but it felt stupid emailing Sean about it. He sent me an email with just 1 phrase, but it really made me feel better and reminded me we are on the same page- and i can totally fill his inbox with my stresses and worries at night.
“Well just cuz we can’t lay with each other doesn’t mean we can’t have the pillow talk”
& send me a memory.
These flowers remind of me Portsmouth when i spent 2 weeks with Sean in the UK.
I have never ever ever seen these flowers before, but they were EVERYWHERE- people’s front yards, the street, and in the parks. I think this flower is absolutely beautiful, and i fell inlove with both the white and pink ones and the purple and pink ones.
One morning Sean woke up early to work out while i stayed in bed sleeping for a little longer. When he came home he gave me a soft kiss to wake me up and had one of these in his hand.
Here’s a song i wrote tonight. It’s nothing special or great, but i wanted to share with you guys. I have a music tumblr i would usually post the song to (mandywalz.tumblr.com), but i didn’t want to post this one there until i sit down and record a higher quality version. For now this recording get’s the message across though.
I’m thinking about all you milso’s going through a deployment. I admire your strength, and i hope that when Sean is at that point that i will be as strong as you ladies.
As a side note, i do copyright my songs. :)
Just Incase Letter - Mandy Walz
My love has been in and out of deep sleep lately due to the medicine he’s been taking. One of the moments when he was awake he sent me an email about his dream. He just kept seeing me in a white dress, with a veil, and a little tiara sitting on a bed holding his hand. He said in the dream he could feel butterflies (which probably has more to do with his weak stomach this weekend and not being able to keep any food down).
Regardless, he’s a cutie and a keeper.
On a site note, the family went downtown to see Mamma Mia tonight. It was fun. I do love the Buenos Aires city at night with all the people, lights, cars, and craziness.
Freaking amazing good morning!!!! 23 emails from my love.
edit: the count kept going up- i ended up with at least 30 emails <3
So good and bad news today.
The good- i got to chat for a long time with my love- and i will until Monday morning.
The bad- the only reason we are talking this weekend is because he is in the hospital. :( Nothing serious- but bad enough to keep him off tab and exercise for the weekend.
One day i was shopping at Michaels (craft store) and i found this little $2 disposable camera with flowers on it. I bought it thinking it could be fun for when Sean visits. Well… i was right. We used both the disposable film camera and my digital camera to capture memories, and finally after a month of him being gone, i’ve taken the roll of film to be developed.
I got my pictures back- and i love the vintage look some of them have with the darker lighting and older looks. I scrapbook, so i can’t wait to use these.
