So Nigel left yesterday for Camp Pendleton. I got to talk to him on the phone when he was waiting for a bus to take him there from San Diego. There was a little excitement before his flight; 20 minutes before his flight was supposed to leave my cell phone rings and it's his best friend Scott, (who got recruiter's assistance so he's going to Pendleton a week after Nigel)... So Scott says that he has Nigel's dental records somehow. I guess another guy who just got out of boot camp has his records and Nigel's and he just happened to be going to the same recruiting office as Scott that day... So Scott is on his cell telling me he's on the way to the airport. Nigel tries to get on a later flight but the next one that isn't full is leaves at 1 pm and he has to report in at 3 so it's too close. So Nigel heads off to the gate about 10 mintues to departure and Scott shows up with 5 minutes so spare, so Nigel's mom and I are calling Nigel, the clerk before the security check point is calling the gate, and security lets Scott run through and he catches Nigel who is running back from the gate, and then Nigel has to run his ass back to the gate and get on the plane. So it kept me from getting too sentimental and kept me from crying, and it sure as hell got Nigel's heart racing. But it's all okay now.
Anyway, it was so good to be with him for those 10 days. That was the best. We spent the weekend after he graduated in San Diego and we drove back Sunday afternoon. We stayed at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn until Saturday and there was a mistake so his mom, uncle, his uncle's wife, their two daughters, and I got the Presidential suite right off the water... it was like an apartment. It was so nice. And when Nigel got to leave after graduation we all went out to lunch and his cousin, dad, step mom, two sisters, brother, and all of us who actually had the room hung out for a while in the room. It was HUGE... And then Saturday we stayed at the Bahia resort. And his mom's boss who stays there a lot sent Nigel two bottles of wine, a fruit and cheese plate, and some cookies through room service. So we got back from Sea World to that. It was so nice.
And when we were back here we ran around constantly, and we only had one date night, and one day where we mostly relaxed. On our date night he gave me a proper proposal and a half carat solitaire engagement ring! He took me to one of my favorite places and asked me after dinner. We haven't told anyone but his uncle yet, and he's keeping his mouth closed. I don't want to announce it until after he finishes MCT, and we might just wait a while and have a big wedding after I finish college and can move to be with him. And then Monday was our one and only lazy day where we spent half the day having sex all over his mom's house. I have never had sex THAT freaking crazy before, we did so many things that day I can't hardly keep track. I mean we got to do it every night except the night after his gradaution, but it was usually at night and in the morning when his mom was asleep since I lived with them while he was home. So Monday was a good day.
And every other day we were home there was some family thing we had to go to all the time, and if it wasn't that he was washing his cammies, pressing his uniforms, cleaning his shoes, taking this or that to the tailor to have his ranks put on, or getting his dress blues ready for Scott's wedding this last Sunday. And there were a few times where we were at the mall and he took off to make arrangements for my ring, and I knew he was up to something but I just shopped for my dress for the wedding.
Oh and at Scott's wedding he was one of the groomsmen and by the time he did his speech at the reception he was so unbeliveably drunk and he didn't mess up too much. When he took the microphone I was pretty scared because I'd seen him throw back at least 3 whiskey sours and 3 beers in like half an hour. There were a couple strange pauses, but all he said wrong was "Anyway, I wish you both the breast." And there was a pause from everyone in the room, and then the 150 people there started laughing their asses off.
Anyway all in all it was awesome to be with him. He's so hot now! I didn't think he had 45 lbs to lose, and he's pretty thin, but really REALLY toned now. And he is so confident in himself now, which is sexy too. He's kind of cocky sometimes, but I figure he earned it, and if he gets out of line I'll let him know.
So after that long ass post...

With his best friend who joined with him. They have the same MOS, but Scott got recruiter's assistance and Nigel had to report in for MCT yesterday so Scott will be a week behind.
