It's only the begining

         Hello all I'm Mandie and I am absolutely head over heels in love with my boyfriend Charles, who is in fact an oilfield man. First let me say I am a 22 year old Florida girl born and raised. Charles is a 28 year old Louisiana native. We met back in 2011 in my hometown of Jacksonville and you could say it was love at first sight....Except it took him moving back to New Orleans, Louisiana and many conversations till January 12th 2013 for us finally begin  dating which at  first had to start out long distance, to Orlando . But as one thing lead to another as I will explain in detail another time I left the state I knew my entire life in June to move to New Orleans to be with my love which leads to the reason for my post today. Today is July 12th 2013 which marks the half year anniversary of our relationship and I couldn't be happier. The only thing about today is that Charles couldn't spend it with me . Why you ask ???? Because my boyfriend is an oilman meaning he works for the oil company Halliburton. His job is an incredibly important and he is just at the beginning of his career in the oilfield.So much so that he just finished a few weeks of training which brings me to why he wasn't able to be with me today...because *drumroll please * He was sent off on his first hitch early this morning. Yes I was disappointed not just because of us not getting to spend our half year anniversary together but because my "dads" (YES I have two daddies as I'll explain later) came into town from Kansas City to meet him and they don't get to....But despite shedding a few tears because my love has gone offshore for the first time I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Proud of him. We are building our future together, and he should be back home to me in about two weeks. We can keep in touch via email and special quick little phone calls when he's gone and I know he'll always return to me. I can feel his love even though he's a good many miles away but we are together in heart and spirit and he will be back to me each and every time he goes offshore.Our love is one for the ages ....written in the stars. I am an "Oilman's Girl" and welcome to my blog about my life and my love with my Oilman Charles!
