Update
As it's been a while, and Ashley is in the shower I'll take the time to now throw down an update. If you've been under a rock, you have failed to realize that I am FINALLY back on US soil. Though I'm still not home, I am happier then I ever have been. I'm in the hotel with the love of my life, and future wife (11 more days) Ashley. I've been here since Tuesday evening, and have enjoyed every bit of it.
Tuesday was an "us" night, we sat in the hotel, went to Walmart and just enjoyed each other's company. Wednesday we sat around all day and then for the evening went out to her Dad's in Franklin. Both her dad and step mom love(d) me, which made us both super psyched. Keep in mind at this point the didn't know of us getting married and her coming to Arizona with me. Thursday we literally didn't do anything, we sat in the hotel all day till about 7 or so, then went over to Pizza hut.
Friday we left the room around 2, went to David's Bridal to look for dresses, from there went to the Natick Mall and found her dress at Lord and Taylors (just under 200 so we're both happy) Then we went back to Dad's house cuz he was taking us out to dinner (Outback Steakhouse). This is where things kinda went down hill, they found out that we were getting married, well they guessed cuz they asked Ashley when she was coming back from Minnesota and she said she didn't know. I'll just leave it at that.
Then today we drove out to her dads to pick up the jeep then down to the Cape. It was absolutely amazing, not only is it on the ocean but it was just beautiful, reference the pictures for proof. We went down there to see one set of her grandparents, they like me, and I like them too. Her grandma bought us Cape Cod hoodies, so we got something out of it other then just the ocean too. Tomorrow we're going to spend the day in Boston.
If you haven't already figured it out, I love Ashley more then life itself, and can't wait to marry her on the 27th. For all that don't know yet, we'll be back in Minnesota about 330pm next Thursday afternoon. We are going to Grandma's house first, and mom will pick us up from there and bring us home. That's it from here, call if you want my phone is always on. See everyone soon.
