Paradise Found

Well I've been putting this off for a few hours because I don't know honestly how to start. Becky has already written about the weekend we had and has put it in the most perfect words that I feel anything I'll write will be inadequate. But I have to consolidate thoughts onto some medium and this is it. If you're not into the sugar I'm going to write then turn away. It may be too sappy for you haha. Oh well.

So it started off by me going to pick her up from the airport on Friday. After some nice traffic and other setbacks I picked her up a half hour late or so haha. And seeing her was enough to make my weekend beautiful but that's just the least of it. After making some dinner we left to shop and look at stars and spent the evening enjoying each other's company and talking through the night.

We spent the next day being SUPER productive and managing to have a great time as well. I played some Gears of War while she was getting her nails done and we went to a tasting of our reception food. And it was amazing. I had three slices of the prime rib haha. And I tried and failed to help Becky out with the decisions that everyone asked her to make. We all know that the bride's opinion is the one that matters of course but after so many your head does want to explode. I forgot what we did after that. I think just went and gathered some stuff together and talked to my family for a bit. Then we went and took our pictures! And it was surprisingly an amazing time. I thought that it was going to be a lot of just standing there with a fake smile while someone told me what to do. But Bonnie was pretty good about just following us around with a camera and telling us when we looked ugly ;) Thank you so much by the way! They turned out amazing. Most of our pictures were taken while we weren't paying attention and were just talking and laughing on the beach. For some reason even after an hour or two I was still surprised that they were taking pictures when I wasn't paying attention haha. Of course I do get distracted easily. Moreso when my beautiful fiancee is there. They were great. Then I was privelaged to eat at this place called Anthony's which was incredible. And this chocolate cake dessert was orgasmic. Wow. Good good stuff.

Sunday was spent in church a lot. Went to both wards and we saw people who still hadn't put two and two together haha. It was a nice time. Read scriptures, listened to speakers, tried and failed to take a nap. You know, the usual church routine haha. Afterwards we went and found this cool nature walk haha. Little kid pictures on stones that have info about wetlands and animals. It was a beautiful day and a nice little walk. Ate dinner at my house, watched a movie, the usual.

Monday was so fun! I didn't know what to expect but we left and registered at Target and Crate and Barrel and had a lot of fun with that scanner haha. At first it was slightly weird walking around, not sure what to get and all. But later on we just started having fun. We found the perfect couch at Crate and Barrel! We scanned it for fun. Are we going to get it? Heck no. But it's a nice dream. We shopped around a bit more and then headed to a barbecue at my house with both families and visited and ate and left and played cards with her family. I even got a cute nickname. Good times.

She left this morning. I drove her to the airport and we, uh, chatted for a while. She's now back in Idaho and I'm still here, waiting to see her again. And things couldn't be better. Obviously a few things would be great to change, but everything is working out how it should and it's for the best. Best memory? Driving her home one evening and feeling just this very different feeling. We both felt it. And it was like the cord that held us together was changed to a chain. It was very sudden and almost electrifying but very calm at the same time. One of the most amazing feelings I have ever had and will remember it forever. It's impossible to explain and I don't think it's something that needs to be said. But needless to say I won't be the same. I love you Rebecca Ann. Counting the days.

We're in love, sweet love
We're in love, sweet love
We built our life from nothing
We don't have much room or money
But we've got love
We can only grow much better
I'm so glad we're here together
And on our own. In love.
