I'm so glad DBF has a phone that works now. I've really missed getting to text him while he's at work or I'm at work. I enjoy getting nice texts every once in a while just reminding me that he loves me or misses me. Him not having a phone was just not fun.

It seems like every time I wanted to ask DBF to do something or I needed to tell him something, it was when we were apart and he had no phone. I hated not being able to get in contact with him and I'm sure everyone from work was feeling the same thing.

DBF works Security Forces and a cell is definitely a must have to do that kind of work. It's police work most nights for him and it has the potential to be a dangerous job. Also they may need to contact him about something that can't be said over a radio. Or if he happens to get into a situation where something happens to his radio, he needs a way to contact someone. It made me a little nervous with him going out on patrol alone without a cell.

Also, I'm forgetful. Like it's really bad. I can't ever remember to do little things like pick up milk on the way home or wash DBF's gym clothes. For some reason even texting DBF to remind me to do things helps me remember to do them and usually the reminder isn't necessary. Or if DBF was home and I needed to pick up milk  on the way home because he just had the last of it there was no way to tell me. It was all getting to be a little bit annoying.

I never really realized how dependent I was on people having a cell. Having instantaneous contact with someone has become such a big part of daily life these days. It seems so strange to think that people didn't used to be able to just call someone wherever they were. I'm young enough that cell phones were pretty popular when I was at an appropriate age to have one and just got more popular to the point that almost everyone has one. I can't even imagine life without my iPhone and all it's various ways to contact people and entertain me.

I'm just glad he has it back and I get to hear from him a little more when we're apart now.
