Hello!
Well it's has been almost 10 days since my last post and I must say a lot has happened since my last entry. Ok so I went this past Monday to Chattanooga with my brother, Josh, to take back two pet carriers that I no longer need. Let me explain... So I had intended to put Ellie in the cargo area of the plane but I learned that Delta will not take pets in the cargo area until after sometime in September. This means that I will have to take her on the plane with me and put her under my seat. Poo... This is gonna cost me a good two hundred bucks... which is worth having her along. So after I took the two back I had to get one that would fit under my seat so I went to PetCo and got the kind she needed.
Then on Tuesday my PaPa, Josh, and I went to Redstone to get my visa and to make my flight! I was very nervous about what kind of flight they would give me but when she handed me the ticket she said "Here is your nonstop flight to Venice." Holy Cow! So I really got lucky! None of the other wives that I knew of had gotten a nonstop flight... But I got to talk to Richard that day and tell him the good news and he was very excited to hear that!
Ok so then on Wednesday I went back to Chattanooga but this time I went with my (step) dad's family. Well it was just all the girls... but we had a blast! We went to Fuji to eat lunch and it was delish! Then we went to the mall to shop and boy did we shop till we dropped. We were so give out when we left. Then we went back to my house to say our goodbyes. That was the first time I had to say goodbye and it was really sad... That night I went to McDonalds for one last time to hang out with some really good friends. But luckily we had made plans to see each other the next day so no goodbyes! Yet...
Yesterday I ran around like a chicken with it's head cut off!
I got up early to meet Kayla for breakfast at Bonnies in Menlo. Oh yea Samantha told me I had two different shoes on too... It was a long morning! Then I went to get a body wave put in my hair to give me some volume to my fine hair. After that I took my Granny and two brothers to Fort Payne and we ate lunch at the best chinese place ever! YUM! Then we went back to my mom's work where this little baby deer came running out of a bush to Josh and I! It was so tiny! Maybe like 2-3 weeks old! It was so sweet and was not scared of us at all. It was as if it was a pet. Joshua took it to the vet clinic so they could take good care of it. After that I went to Ms. Shelly's house to see her and Mr. Gary one last time. After I left there house I went to mine and met up with my two besties, Kayla and Amber. We got refreshed and then we headed to Rome! We ate a yummy dinner at Santa Fe and then went to Broadstreet to take pictures. We saw a beaver in the river! Haha. After that we went to Jandy's for some frozen yogurt! YUM!
After that we started home and the whole time I tried to get the thought of me saying goodbye to them out of my head.... I tried to change the subject and talk about anything else. But when that time came to tell my two very best friends goodbye the tears came. I dont remember how many times we hugged. That was the hardest thing I have EVER had to do. I balled like a baby. Us 3 and Richard made up what we called the Crazy Man Crew in high school and to this day thats who we are! : ) But it is so hard to say our goodbyes... We kept saying "see you soon then..." instead. It's a BITTERSWEET kinda thing. It really is. Im so ready and excited to see my husband after 4 months of not seeing him but at the same time I am so sad that I will be leaving all of my family and friends behind. What will I miss out on while I am gone?? Weddings? Births of babies? Graduations? It's so sad and not of this really hit me until last night. I cried myself to sleep. I leave in 3 days... That is all I have left here in the states. Bittersweet is all I can call it.
Finally this morning my family headed out on our last family vacation to the great smokey mountains. We went horseback riding today! It was fun! My bottom is really feeling it now though! Im not sure what else we will do tomorrow but I am about to fall asleep for sure!
