a week in cali...
so, i've lived here for a week so far and its been really great.
everyone here is really nice, i've only met 2 other people without kids...they are either pregnant or already have kids.
i have this really strong desire to watch finding nemo, even though i hated that movie because i've seen it 1,000 times with ronny and matt, and i can still remember before they could really talk how they'd walk around sayin emo. aw i saw a picture advertising the movie and i wanted to cry. now i really want to watch it. i miss them so much. saying bye to them was the hardest because i knew i was going to miss so much in such a short but long amount of time. i spent a lot of my last weeks with my dad and kerry and the boys, Ian was really supportive and stayed with me because he had said goodbye before and he knew how hard it was going to be for me.
my brother met up with his very first girlfriend, a girl we call sticky vicky. she was like the sweetest girl he ever had and she kept him out of trouble for as long as he was with her. its crazy they got back together..i remember her coming on family vacations with us and stuff when i was younger, and she was the first person who ever had me listen to sublime.
i miss my family so much, i try and talk to them everyday, my mom and my dad call a lot, eric always beeps ian (i dont know why, he has my dc number) all he ever wants him for is to talk to me, or they sit there and be stupid telling each other how much they love each other and miss eachother. anyway...he turned himself back in so he has 20 days to finish up.
i miss my friends too. me and ian are gonna be god parents:) well i was deff. gonna be the godmother, ian just kinda invited himself and asked if he could be the godfather haha. <3 but i cant wait!
the last night i was here i was with my mom for a while, then nikole and kev came over and we comvinced jm 2let us have a huge bon fire in the back yard so we went around collecting sticks and bricks and shit, then alex ricky and john came over and brought smores...then we all lit teakee tourches it was fun but buggy. it was nice hanging out with the group, then ian came over, and we all went to the super 24 hour walmart in NH at like 2 in the morning.
the wedding was so amazing. i cant even explain how perfect everything was. i had so much fun and i'm so glad everyone went and made it such a better time, just having so much fun and being there for us and shit it was awsome. it was the perfect way to say goodbye to family and friends, sooo many people came that i wasnt expecting, like my older grandparents from newbury port.
at the end it was my moms drunk friends, who are like family to me, we always went on vacations together and stuff, ians cousins who were soooo drunk it was sooooo funny, ashley and paul, i was so excited ashley was dancing with me and we were just going crazy having such a good time, my dad and kerry pretty much stayed until the end too. then after the dj left, me and ians cousin kristen and my mom and her friends gina were talking all kinds of different shots...oh ya and my neighbours on 11th street were there too, everyone at the end was soooo drunkit was greeat, me and kristen were talking mind erasers one right after the other, then i took jagerbombs with jim, more mind erasers with my mom and butter rum shots <3 with lisa my next door neighbour...then gina kept iving me malibu drinks which i was sucking down because they are sooo good..
...speaking of malibu, the other night ian took me for a drive down the coast of mailbu it was sooooooooooooooo beautiful, i cant wait until he buys the truck so we can go out to eat there, the restrants look really nice. then we went to santa barbara to go down all the little beach shops. it was everything you would picture...a million different shops, some cool beach shops and some known stores like victoria secret and pier1 a whole bunch of shops all down the coast on a boardwalk. So far i've found 2 big malls close by Thousand Oaks Mall (very nice) we went out to eat at the cheesecake factory there it was awsome, we had such a nice time, and the pacific coast mall.
we've had people over for BBQ twice so far. last night ian and the other guy got pretty drunk and me and his wife just talked, shes the first person i met here that i could actually see myself hanging out with. actually shes a lot like me, i went to her place and she had like a lot of the same stuff i did, same tea pot, same napkins, same placemats, same couch me and ian want, same bedspread, we were even wearing the same jeans. crazy. i told her about santa barbara and she was wicked excited to go. and the people down stairs are bargin shoppers, the girls like 8 months pregg, but she said she take me to LA to go shop because shes on leave, shes originally from LA as long as i help her with her baby because i told her i had twin brothers that were 3 and she said its her first baby.
over all this week has been very different, but really cool and it was much easier to adjust then i thought it would be.
i just cant wait to come home and see my family already. and i cant wait until people start commin to visit. ashley and paul said they'd come right before ian gets deployed and stay with me for like 2 weeks while hes gone, and my cousin lindsay is going to be here in like 2 weeks and allison comes in august and hopefully kyla comes out soon because imiss her.. i had to say good bye to her, i went to pick something up from her and i gave her a quick hug and a kiss goodbye i didnt really think about it, then i went to the car and destianys child girl was playing and i remembered at the wedding me nikole ashley cormier and ashley, and kyla and allison anna haley and krystal b were all dancing screaming it to eachother and i just started crying, i cried the whole way up to the beach. ian was driving my dads sabb so we had the top down and he couldnt tell. thank god if he saw me cry i would have had to tell him why then i would cry all over agian and look wicked dumb. i notice everytime i say wicked out here.
i miss nikole rick and alex. i really home you guys come out here.
if not, we still have vagas, october 2005. i cant fucking wait. but you guys should come see me this summer anyway. :) so ian started working so now my days suck, he wakes me up in the moring at like 6 to say bye and kiss me and so i cna take a shower with him, then i go back to sleep, i wait until like 11-12 for him to come homw and eat lunch, then i usually go walk around base trying to meet people or go shopping or something and he gets home at like 4-5 then we make supper and watch a movie or go out somewhere, the other day we went to down town ventura it was a lot like ebore city, it was awsome.
ok i have to go because people are waiting to get on.
i love ya guys and i miss you...
