june gloom...

well, i knew since october that i would dread the month of june! the weather at the beginning has been pretty gloomy and the love of my life is 2,000 miles away. BUT, the end is near...only one more week and i feel like i am even more excited than my wedding day. (if that's even possible) I have been staying super busy, which is making things better. But, whenever i have some free time and time to think that's when i really really miss him and may even shed some tears. We are both ready to get this week over with. 

Yesterday was our 6 month anniversary! I can't believe we are have way to a year...time really does fly

Luckily we get to talk to each other on the phone...i don't know what i would be like if we couldn't talk. 

Funny stories:

1) the other day i went to my friend Heather Willardson's bridal shower in Huntington Beach 0 and got to see some of my favorite people, which is always a treat. After the shower was over all my girls wanted to go to this dance party. Me, feeling a little awkward going to a dance without my eternal dance partner. told these girls to stick to me like glue. I figured we could just go a dance for a little bit and then leave. We walk in and you could just feel the singleness of these people, everyone checking out everyone, pick up lines being thrown left and right, all the girls dancing for attention, the guys standing against the wall giving those girls attention. I can't believe i used to be one of the girls. HA it made me SOOOO thankful to not have to deal with that scene anymore. Some people were there that i knew and kept saying, "what are you doing here?" "you're married!" yes, yes i am thanks for telling me. We got a couple good dance moves in, but i didn't recognize half the songs they were playing. Maybe i need to listen to the radio more. but we were there for about 15 minutes and that was 15 minutes too long. Thanks jessi, heather and melissa for helping me out that night! 

2) last week i was driving in my car, windows down, radio on because i forgot my ipod. And that song by the black eyed peas, "boom, boom, boom..." i don't really know the words, but i know the chorus and i pulled up to a stop sign and the girl next to me had the same song playing, we both looked over at each other and started dancing and singing OUT LOUD! haha it was so awesome, i have no idea who this girl was. i'll just call her my dance car girl. it made my day!

And lastly its Fathers Day...

we don't have any news...i promise! thanks Luke and Raegan for being the baby models. i just wanted to wish all the dads in the world a happy father's day. To Pehrson...someday in the future. And especially to my dad

I love you "G" thanks for all that you do for our family! And i know that today is Father's Day, but i realized that i never wrote anything about my amazing mom on mother's day. So mom thanks for being the best listener a girl could ask for. I love you too!

that about wraps it up. I miss you annie, i feel like i haven't seen you forever! can't wait till august comes and we can play. Hope everyone is happy and loving life, cause there are a lot of things to be happy about!

Pehrson in his gear, read his message below! so cute...i love him SO much.

So far from home

Well, I finally got a break to say hi to everyone. Things in Alabama are going good. The Air Force is trying to break me down, but I won't let them! They try and keep us as busy as they possibly can. It has its days, but there are definitly some fun times and a lot to learn that pertains to a lot outside of the Air Force. It is acctually really similar to the church or serving a mission. We always have to be with a "wingman"(companion), we have an "Air Force Honor Code", our hair has to be short..., they use a ton of acronyms (ex. LDS, MTC, and AFB, OTS(Officer Training School), etc... Its been pretty mindblowing seeing all of the relationships. So far we have been having a lot of leadership classes and they are constantly evaluating us. As annoying as it can be, I'm acctaully learning a lot and there are a good group of guys here to keep me company.

Also, thanks to everyone for keeping Kate company while Im gone. This is the first time that we have been apart from eachother since we got married, and its preeeeetty lame. I love her so much and I love knowing that she is being taken care of and having fun with friends and family.

Have a good day everyone, only 2 more weeks till I get back!

So i have been doing bikram yoga for the last week and loving it! For those that may not know, it is where you do yoga in a 105 degree room. You are literally sweating from every single pore! its awesome. But not so awesome when you leave cause it looks like you have jumped in a pool of sweat. its gross and since pehrson is still gone =[ he doesn't have to see my nastiness even though i know he would love me just the same. I found this on a website and i just want Pehrson to know that even though i might smell and be all slimy i would still LOVE LOVE LOVE to give you a big hug and kiss. i miss you and can't wait for this month to end! =]

I feel like disney hasn't made a lot of movies lately, that i've seen. But this one was worth the wait. i saw it last night and it was so good. I highly recommend it and will probably see it again. I'm so behind on movies these days and usually don't know what or who people are talking about when it comes to media. But, this is on of the best movies i've seen in a long time. It brought me to tears. 

one WHOLE month

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. 

I have the best job ever. I hate calling it a job cause it is so fun. I hang out with two blondies all day in san clemente, their names Ezra-(4) and Dax-(almost 2). Dax looks like a little pehrson with his brown eyes! gets me excited to see what our kids will look like someday. They have some great personalities, it makes my days fun! Pehrson also works in san clemente, which works out perfect cause we share a car. so sometimes when he gets off before me and the waves aren't good, he'll come party with us. I love this picture of him and the two boys! he is gonna be such a good dad someday... 

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! 

So i have lots of projects and things i want to do while he's gone to keep me busy and make the time go by fast and if you are bored and want to give me a call someday, PLEASE do!  

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!

love, sand, sun, waves, and a tandem bike is all you really need in life!
