Ft. Campbell

This week consisted mainly of me trying to get someone to drive and hour and a half to Fort Campbell Kentucky to visit Pvt. 1st class Benson. Aka Billy.
Well, on Wednesday i actually found someone willing to drive down with me. Renee and Trish said they would go. So Wednesday evening we got in my car and drove down. We get to the base and I tried to get a pass to get in. The guard said he needed our drivers liscenses, insurance and registration on my car. I don't have my registration on my car like actually with me for some reason and they wouldn't let me in. I serioulsy felt retarded. and the guard was actually laughing at me. Awesome. Thank God Trish's friend, whom we were also going to meet up with, had a car. He met us in a parking lot near base, we pile in his car and he gets us on base.
When we finally find Billy's barracs we go back to my car and Billy and I get into mine and we just drove around and talked. For once in my life of dating, he did not just want to get in my pants so to speak. He actually listened to me when i was talking, he wanted to know about me.. blah blah blah.. We eventually held hands and made out. One thing led to another and we're dating now.. but NO all I did was make out with him. I'm not a whore.
He promised me he will take me to do all the things i've never done like four wheeling, mudding, riding a horse, milking a cow, hunting, fishing etc. He said he is going to take me to do all these things, which is awesome. But I've gotta wait 15 months to two years to get to do them.

Why? Because he's going to Iraq in the middle of October and will be over there for up to two years. Which blows. Am I stupid for agreeing to date him? I'm willing to wait, I don't cheat on the people I date, because it's happened to me before, it's not right. I like him alot, he treats me right and is a sweetheart. I just don't know. In a way my life won't be as stressful.. I don't have to care about guys now.. not that I have lately anyway... and I can just focus on school work... but on the other hand.. it could be a lot more stressful.. I don't know anyone that's over seas anymore... and now I will.. and it'll be worse because it'll be my boyfriend. I just don't know.. do ya'll think i'm stupid? Is this a bad decision?
