Naturally

Of course, if any of you expect anything other than a post a post about Becky the weekend that she visits you are crazy. And it just so happens that she visited this weekend. So...if you don't care, don't read it. Naturally...it's not like I'm going to force you somehow to read something you don't want to. It kind of goes without saying to any post that myself or anyone else writes on a blog. I probably just put that disclaimer each time to make myself feel better for the imminent cheesy moments. So now that I'm alright about it I'll go on.

Becky came! Every time she visits I'm always ridiculously late to pick her up from the airport. Through no fault of my own. I only need to spend less than 15 miles on the 405 from Belleview to the airport and you would think that it would take, well, 10 to 15 minutes. Right? Wrong. For some reason every time I go we're stopped half the time. On a Friday afternoon. At 3 or 4. Makes sense? Sure. It took me 45 minutes minimum to get through. Next time I think I'll learn and leave early. And of course that's the time when there will be no traffic and I'll actually get to the airport in a half hour instead of over an hour. C'est la vie.

So it was her shower this weekend. And so I get the opportunity *cough* to be videotaped for a quiz thingy for the shower. I was asked questions like when and where was our first kiss, what her favorite tv show is, who she would be if she was any character in a movie (I'm not an idiot I got that one right...any girl Heath Ledger has kissed) and things like that. It wasn't terrible. What was terrible was waiting while she was at said bridal shower. I figured that since they were doing their girly thing I should be a man. So I blew people's heads up. Yeah I played Gears Of War (quite terribly, I may add) and then showed up at the end for the manual labor. And let me tell you, these ladies are generous. We got a lot of very nice things and I am extremely grateful. Of course, we each have our favorite gifts. Becky's is the super nice blender and mine may or may not include black lace and all. Hahaha just kidding we don't have favorite gifts.

Maybe.

Anyway we spent every second we could together. We spent time in my hot tub on Friday and Saturday, watched Serenity, went to the mall and shopped around a bit, went out to eat both days, cuddled on the couch. Stuffed envelopes. You know, that kind of stuff. It was a very enjoyable weekend. Not much pressure except for the shower. Just some time to relax and reaffirm our love. It's funny. I would think that I would plateau at some point but I keep loving her more every time she gives me a look or I hold her in my arms. It's so good and so bad at the same time. Sigh. Being apart sucks. I love you forever Becky.

We read scriptures for the first time together this weekend too. We've been reading them together every night on the phone, but this is the first time we were physically in the same place. And it was very nice. To kneel afterwards and pray together is a great feeling. I'm looking forward to it. Every night. Of course the half asleep cuddling before and after isn't terrible either haha.

Honestly there isn't too much to cover this weekend. It was honestly very plain. But very special. Some things were left behind here on accident...I feel bad that Becky can't have them. But she'll live somehow. She gets to have memories of a great weekend with her fiance. That will sustain her. It's what's keeping me going now. Anyway. I love you Becky.

Have a good day everyone.
