Some more summer....

Much as happened in the past couple months!! In the beginning of August I started having the WORST scorpion problem at the apartment Jesse and I were living at off 48th and Chandler. I killed about 6 scorpions in 6 weeks. It was horrible! I decided I didn't want to deal with it anymore and went apartment hunting. My friend Jenna had moved into a complex right next to the one Ashley, Dustin, and Tanya had lived in and I love that area of town. I talked to the complex and they assured me they didn't have any scorpion problems! I WAS SOLD! I gave my old complex a copy of Jesse's orders and I moved out without having to pay any fees! That next weekend my sister, her fiance Mike, and his best friend Adam came over and moved me out in one day! At least all the big furniture! The new apartment is SO much nicer! Its a little smaller but the living area is so much bigger! I have a tiny kitchen, but all who know me, knows that doesn't bother me at all! lol I got all settled in and love it!

At the end of August my Aunt Andi came in town to visit on her vacation. She stayed at West Gate in Glendale. It was a lot of fun! I stayed the whole weekend with her and we just went out and had some drinks, danced, and talked all night! We laughed and had a GREAT time! A good friend of mine got engaged in August as well! CONGRATS JESSICA! :) So a couple of girl friends from high school and I all went out to dinner to celebrate. Ashley and I are trying to start to have dinners more often. Some "girl" time! We went to the Cheesecake Factory and ended up staying there for like 3 hours! :0)

Lots of planning has been going on for my sisters wedding in November! Its going to be a good time! TONS of my family will be in town that I haven't seen in a while! My sister got her dress and we had to bring it to be altered. Nothing exciting, just thought I would share that! LOL

Going into September...

LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!! I got a call from a close friend from school Hannah! She texted "San Diego for Labor Day?" I said "YES OF COURSE!" So that Sautrday night I went and spent the night at her apt and we woke up at 4am and headed to Cali! It was Hannah, her bf Drew, her little brother Ryan, and Me. We brought our bikes with us too! As soon as we got there at like 10am we took our bikes and went for a 3 hour bike ride until our hotel room was ready. We stayed right across from Petco Park where the Padres play! Right next to the Gaslamp District! SO NICE! Our hotel was amazing! After we checked into our hotel we drove over to Coronado Island, parked, got our bikes, and rode them down to the beach! Stayed on the beach for a couple hours and then headed back to San Diego. Got showered and dressed and headed to Dicks Last Resort for drinks and then a Pub for dinner! By 9pm, we were DONE! We passed out! Woke up at 6am, rode our bikes for another 3 hours or so. We rode them down to the airport! SO FAR! It was beautiful outisde! Went back to the hotel, woke up Ryan and we all packed up and headed to Mission Beach! Laid on the beach and went in the ocean! Had some lunch and then went on a bike ride all the way down the boardwalk...another 6 mile bike ride! After that, got our stuff back in the car and headed home. MAN I can't explain how sore I have been for the past two days! SO much bike riding, but it was SO worth it! I didn't want to leave!! I love being on the beach!

Next weekend I am headed back out to hang out with my Aunt Andi. She lives on Redondo Beach! I took the Friday off and am just going to lay by the beach all day, take walks, and have some drinks!! Its going to be my end of the summer trip! It makes me sad I have to wait to go to the beach until February in Florida, but I am REALLY looking forward to that trip! Going home for 5 days!

I have been able to talk to Jesse here and there when he is able to call me. They have him going on every mission. It seems like he never gets a break. I have to admit August was the hardest month for me. It was right in the middle of the deployment and I just miss him like CRAZY! Now that we are in September and he is coming home in December for his leave, we are on the downward end of the first half of the deployment! 3 more months and my love will be home with me! I can't wait to see him! We have MUCH planned for when he gets back! His birthday is September 22nd and I am sending his present to him and its for when he gets home in December! He might read this so I am not going to tell you what it is yet, but I will post it after! :) Its a GREAT surprise! I just can't wait for December!!!

Thats about all that is going on. :)

I LOVE YOU JESSE AND MISS YOU!!!! Always and forever!!!
