i miss this =(
I know I rarely ever write in this thing. It's very sad. Josh took his two weeks leave dec. 18-28. I picked him up at 9:00pm on the 18th. I had a sign and everything. Well that goofy boy comes through the wrong terminal so I had to run across the room so he didn't see the sign before hand. When I first spotted him it was a quick walk, then in went to a fast run once we made eye contact. I almost knocked him over! Everyone in the airport watched us (or so it felt) and the first thing that doofus does is smells my hair. lol leave it to Josh! So we spent every waking moment together. He spent the two weeks at my house sleeping in my purple bed.
He took me on Patrick and we goofed off there. I can't wait to become a military wife, I need to be around girls who know what I am going through. So we really didn't do much on leave. We went to our favorite (and cheepest) resturant China Max. I swear we should get married there. lol and we went to the movies. One by ourselves we saw National Treasure 2 and then we saw Ps. I love You with my parents. We didn't see anyone really, mainly because there is really no one to see. We hung out with Ashley & Boomer, Brittany at china max and Ryan Carver. He drove back to gulfport so now he has a car. Meaning he can come home whenever the Navy allowes him.
So for those who don't know, Joshua proposed on Christmas day. All day long I wanted my present. I bought him a sweater, jacket, two movies, and a video game. So I was hopeing for something big. Well the big surprise? A pair of silencers. lol (they go around the dogtags to make them quiet, mine broke and it sounded like I had a wind chime on my neck) So I was pissed, but I didn't say anything. We had to take his dad and brother home after dinner. So when we came back to my house we went on a walk. We talked about everything. We got back to his car and he went blank. He wouldn't say anything. So I started to wonder if he was going to. So I played it off like I had no clue what was going on. I walked into the garage and he started saying how much he loved me. All I could think was "damn this wouldn't be a romantic story at all!" So I tried to get him to come inside. We took the dogs outside and if you have been to my house, then you know we have these concrete paver things right outside my screen door. So I was into the dogs. He bent down to tell my dog jack how cute he was blah blah blah. I turned away to see what Lillie was doing and turn back and he is on one knee with a ring. I started crying! Then he said the words that I will never forget he goes "can you say yes so i can get off the ground, it's killing my knees!" I laughed so hard!
There you have it journal readers, I am offically engaged. =] I told my mom and she was so excited. We both knew he was going to but he told me the day before he came home that he was broke and he might have to take out a loan even to get down here. I wasn't really expecting the ring to be as big as it is. He always told me he was going to get me a rock that you could see from outerspace. lol I guess he keeps his promises. Speaking of promise, I still wear my promise ring on that finger. It's on the other side of my ring, that way when I get married I will be wearing three rings. lol
and the promise ring with engagement
So needless to say the two weeks with him were great. I love being on break, but I want to go back to school already! School starts tomorrow, which is good because I don't think I can clean anymore. Next weekend I will be down in Ft. Lauderdale for my aunts memorial service. I get to see everyone again and remember the wonderful life she lived. At least I will be with my brother, otherwise I probably wouldn't feel comfortable. We are not close with certain family members so it gets awkward at times.
