So pehrson and i have been partying it up in california for the last month and having a blast. working, surfing, sailing, running...just fun things.
the other day pehrson and i went to Lake Mission Viejo, just down the street and rented a sailboat. I have lived here my whole life and i have NEVER been sailing. what was i thinking? it was so fun and so relaxing. I have a feeling we will be doing this a lot this summer! Next time we go though i want pehrson to be wearing his boat shoes and i want to be wearing a white dress.
A couple week ago we went to sano as a family and surfed, it was pretty fun. I am still getting used to my new board...but it sure looks good in that water. And the water is getting warmer! =]
As i'm sure most of you know, my sister jill had her baby and he is seriously the cutest little thing in the world. We were lucky enough to be there the night it all happened and it was one of the most beautiful experiences i have ever had. little dane was laying there just minutes on earth, leaving his Heavenly home. He was perfect! and jill did such a good job, i am so proud of her and all that she did to bring this beautiful creation into our lives. we are SO excited to watch you grow dane. We love you so much already!
Now for the hard part. One month! yes one month till i get to see the love of my life again. one month may seem short to some, but try being married for only 5 months and having to be apart for the 6th month of your life together. Today was his first day away and i truly feel an emptiness in me. My other half is gone and it is not a good feeling. Why is he gone you ask? well, as you may remember he got a scholarship from the air force to pay for dental school and so right now he is in Alabama at COT (commissioned officer training) camp. They teach how to wear a uniform, do obstacle courses, have classes on etiquette and things they need to know. Not really quite sure and its not like an intense boot camp, but there will be workouts everyday, hopefully he doesn't come back with no neck! ha =] but, one thing that he did have to do was CUT his hair. His long beautiful blonde hair. He was a little nervous (and so was I) but i actually really like it. He looks good no matter what, so i wasn't worried.
We just went to Oklahoma this last weekend for pehrson's brother ryan's graduation. Ryan was valedictorian and received like a million other awards, he's smart. But, it was fun to hang out at the Hawkley's house and not just be the "girlfriend" i was a part of the family whether they liked it or not! ha =] monday was hard because i knew that pehrson was leaving. So...after saying good-bye to the family pehrson dropped me off at the airport, of course the tears came and i had to walk through the airport with a big red face. I got some great looks and tissues handed to me. I was a little embarrassed, but i don't care. It is hard! i have been with him everyday for the last year or so and to just have to say good-bye like that is rough. My mom picked me up and when i got home i noticed that she had put Pehrson's skateboard, shoes, wetsuit, helmet and glasses on the bed to make it look like he was there. She wasn't sure if i would cry or laugh, but i laughed and we took a couple pictures. i love my mom, she is so funny!
It really is amazing how much you can love someone so much! i feel like our love for each other continues to grow everyday. He really is the man of my dreams. i am a lucky lucky girl!
Lets hope that june goes by as quick as may!
