So it's Erika's Birthday today..So HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIKA..Love you!...

I have pictures!!!

Let's go back to last Wednesday 1/5/05. What a fun day. Well I went to school as usual...It went by Super fast..Then when it ended I went and got Erika..We didn't have time to say goodbyes to anyone. But we headed over to my car...Then we drove to my Grandma's to pick her and Uncle Don up. Then we drove to the airport. Our flight left at 4:45..So that was good. Well Erika and I got on the plane with my mom dad and Grandma and Uncle Don. Then this guy who was sick/hungover sat next to Erika and I..He was cool. He brought his laptop and was watching Dodgeball..so we got to watch too! Then we landed..went to dinner..and slept to get up REAL early.
Thursday..got to MCRD San Diego around 7:30/8 in the morning..Hella early. We got to see all the recruits practicing there Graduation..It was awesome..and who was first to spot Brian's platoon AND Brian? Yup thats right..ME! lol I am good! So then was his motovational run. It made me cry cause that was the actuall first time I'd seen him in 3 months. We got to motivate them..it was fun! Then we got some food. I think? and went to see his EGA ( Eagle Globe Anchor ) ceremony. That was pretty damn cool. All the recruits in their uniforms. 571 recruits I believe..That's a lot. Then we got to hang out with Brian from 12-4:30ish, I had tons of fun. We walked around the base and man is that thing huge. And when we were by the barracks, we saw this one recruit getting yelled at. I think yelled at is an understatment. Holy crap. I woulda cried. It was scary lol. Then we sent Brian back and left to go to Old Town and we ate there and shopped a little.
Friday..Another early day. We got to the base around 7:30 and watched them practice graduation. Then we went to eat breakfast. Erika likes ice cream and coke for breakfast..cool. haha. We then went to sit on the bleachers and wait for the graduation..and it started raining..They didn't do anything about it til it actually started pouring. Then they announced Graduation would be inside. So cool..They make Erika and I sprint to the place to get good seats. And we didn't even get to save them cause the D.I's were being mean. But his graduation only lasted like 15 mins. Shortest Grad I've ever been to. After that we left the base and headed for DISNEYLAND. But of course Brian needed to stop and In n Out..Hasn't had it since October lol. He eats so much now..It's crazy. Then we left there and headed to Disneyland! I slept most the time. we got there around 3/4 or so..I loved our hotel room. It was nice and cozy lol. Then we got all ready and walked to Downtown Disney..We ate at the ESPN zone and shopped..Lots of fun. Erika and I watched The Notebook later that night..I freaking love that movie!!
Saturday..I had no problem at waking up at 7 because we were going to DISNEYLAND! So we ate breakfast and all that good stuff and headed over to Disneyland..First it was just Nick Brian Erika and I and we went on Indiana Jones and then we called Will and Danielle and they were at California Adventure so we went there. Over all at Disneyland I had a blast. There was like no crowds at all and it barely rained. The lines were so short..and I loved it! Oh but around dinner time we went to this really good Italian resturaunt. It was funny cause Erika went to the bathroom and my dad told the waitress that it was her birthday. So they bring out candles and ice cream and make her get up and dance while we sang to her..Halerious.
Sunday..Flew home..Worst flight ever..first I thought our plane was gonna crash..Then when we were going to land, the presure from the elevation killed my teeth and ears. Freaking cried. So we drive home and when we get here theres hella people..My aunt planned a surprise welcome home party for my brother..I wasn't complaining..I got food haha.. Then we FINALLY got to open christmas presents..I got some pretty neat stuff..anyways I know your all waiting for the pictures...so here they come!
