So far this summer....

Well Jesse left the beginning of June for Kuwait. :( Its been a long two months so far. I have been trying to make the time go by faster by keeping my schedule completely booked. I was able to go to Colorado June 19-20! I have family friends that moved up there. I have known this family forever! My friend Samantha and I have been friends since we were about 6 or 7 I think. SO a long time! I flew up to Denver and she picked me up from the airport. Her and I headed back to her place and talked for like 5 hours! I haven't seen her in about 11 years, since I moved to Arizona from Florida. It was SO MUCH FUN catching up with her! Saturday we drove around and she showed me Colorado Springs; I am going to live there one day! Then I decided I was going to get my nose pierced! haha There was a place up there that is known for their tattoos I guess and their promotion is "any piercing for $10." So I figured, why not? :) I have always wanted to get it done. LOL So I, of course, talked to Jesse to make sure he didn't care. I didn't want him coming home and hating it, plus I tell him everything. SOOOOO I did it and it hurt REALLY BAD! But I love it! I finally got to change it out so that I have a small stud in there instead of the MASSIVE one they pierced it with! SO then her and I went and saw "The Proposal" and it was hilarious! I loved it! I thinking I laughed the whole way through. Saturday night her and I went to a country bar and played some pool. Then walked back to her house. Sunday we went to her parents house! It was good to catch up!!! I love that family!! Then Sunday night she took me to the airport and I headed home.


I have just been hanging out with Hannah and Jenna pretty much the rest of the time. Hannah is my 9-5 wife and we hang out all day at work. Without her, not sure how I could manage my days! haha We keep each other company and its pretty cool that you can work with your best friend! I love her! And I have Jenna. Her and I are always together. We chill at each others house and watch tv and drink wine! Its has been pretty much a weekly ritual! She has been there a lot for me over the past couple months too! I have been talking to Ashley more and more lately too!!! I am so thankful for great friends!!!


Speaking of Ashley and Dustin, THEY GOT MARRIED!!! They asked me to stand in Jesse spot on the grooms side making me the groomsmaid! hehe It was a lot of fun! It was over the 4th of July so that was a nice break to get out of the heat and hang out with Jesse's family all weekend. I had a lot of fun! The wedding went perfect! Ashley looked beautiful! :) Good times and memories all around!
My mom and little sister came up the weekend of the July 11th. My mom, older sister Kristna, Emily and I went to the Broadway Palm Theater and saw High School Musical! It was AWESOME! Emily and I had a BLAST!! I love musicals and dinner shows like that! My mom and Kristina were laughing at us singing all the songs. :)
So last weekend I headed to California. Thank God for having family that lives out there! Its a great escape!!! I have one aunt who lives RIGHT on Redondo Beach. Then my other uncle live right down the road from her! So me and my Aunt Karen drove to Redondo and hung out with my Aunt Andi on the beach! It was SO nice! They were complaining because there were some clouds in the sky, but I was loving it being from Arizona! Its hotter then HELL here! SO I was loving it! Then we went home and went to my Uncle Howies for dinner. My family all came over and some of my cousins were there. We all had dinner, drank a bit, and then headed home. I had to get up early Sunday morning for the motorcycle ride with my Uncle Howie. :) He picked me up at 8am and we headed out. He took me to a small town call Solvang. Its a small Danish town in the middle of nowhere! It was HOT on the ride through the mountains, but as soon as we got back on the 101 and drove down the coast, it was beautiful!!! Just seeing the ocean puts me in a happy place! When I got back to my aunts we just headed to the pool for a bit, went to dinner, and then headed back to the airport! It was a quick, but very eventful weekend! I had SO much fun! I love my family!


SO thats about it till now for vacations. Jesse and I have been able to talk here and there depending if he is out on a mission or not. The past couple days have been nice! We have been talking over Skype for more than 3 hours a day! I LOVE HIM! I miss him so much. But with the stress of scorpions in my apartment, breaking the lease to move, my truck breaking down, his truck battery dying, and getting into our new apartment, talking to him makes all that stress go away. Its weird, when I am talking to him, I am completely relaxed! Its kind of nice! So I really look forward and treasure our converstaions we get to have. If he is on missions, I usually get a phone call once a day. If not, then I get one every other day or every two days. It just really depepnds. I am a very impatient person so when I don't hear from him, I start to get anxious. I am getting better at it, but still really do have my bad moments! I tend to cry at work a lot. LOL my poor co-workers! But he is worth the wait!! He gets to come home for Christmas this year! I am very excited about that! It will be our first Christmas together! SO far each year we just go our seperate ways, but this year its about HIM AND I! My boss told me I could take the two weeks off to be with him everyday! I think we are going ot celebrate our 1 year while he is home too considering he is going to be away for it. Which is fine. Regardless if he is here or not, its still goingto be a special day! :) OH and we are getting a new car for me!! YEEEEESSS!!!! SO EXCITED! I think that his leave is going to be a lot of fun!!! Then I have 4 more months until he comes home for good! I am looking forward to that more than anything! Then we are goign to figure out whats going to happen and then MOVE! OUT OF AZ!! I am pushing for Colorado Springs! hehe So we will see!!!


Well thats about it for now! I have to head out and go meet up with the apartments to figure out what and when things are going to happen! Can't wait to get out of my scorpion infested apartment! Its been insane! 6 scorpions within 2 weeks of each other! You have got to be kidding me! AND the apartment complex says "oh we don't treat for them" HA! I AM OUT OF THERE! lol


Until next time...JESSE I LOVE YOU MORE THAN THE PLANETS!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!
