goodbye disneyland, hellooo boot camp

hello there, lovelies.



it's a beautiful sunshiney afternoon in huntington beach. 



i haven't been on here in a few days, so i thought i'd provide a quick update.



my weekend was great.  vegas didn't happen, which  i had figured it wouldn't because it wasn't planned well, and to be honest, i wasn't really disappointed.  yes, it's Vegas, but when i go to Vegas, i want to GO TO VEGAS.  as much as i can be spontaneous, plans are my preference and they tend to eliminate stress.  i'll get to Vegas eventually.



so instead of Las Vegas, ethan and i went to DISNEYLAND!



i'll say it was fun because it was Disneyland, but i know from this day forth, i will never go there on a Saturday ever again.  from 8am until noon, it was great.  we got to go on a bunch of rides and were having a grand 'ol time, but then 12 o' clock hit and everything turned into absolute madness.  there were points we would get stuck in a crowd that wasn't moving.  i was upset because ethan has never been to Disneyland before and i was trying to make sure he saw everything.  in the end, we ended up wasting a lot of time running back and forth between rides, trying to find the shortest line.  it was stressful and exhausting, but still, it was Disneyland, and how much can you complain about Disneyland :) 



our favorite rides were Indiana Jones, Splash Mountain (which we got to do twice) and Pirates of the Caribbean...but the BEST ride of the day was Space Mountain.  it was never one of my favorites before, but they re-did the ride and it was completely mind-blowing.  we wanted to ride it again, but the wait time was almost 2 hours the rest of the day.  it was ALMOST that good...but not quite.



we left the park around 11pm and i could barely stand up to wait for the tram to take us back to the parking lot.  ethan practically had to put me to bed because i was too exhausted to function.  he was sweet though, he helped me into my pajamas and fed me lasagna in bed while i slept between bites, haha.  he's a keeper for sure :)



on sunday we did nothing which was absolutely glorious.  we ate a lot of junk food, watched some episodes of roseanne, the prince of egypt, and the wallace and gromit movie. 



yesterday, ethan left for boot camp.  i was planning on driving out to the hotel they put him up in to say good-bye (for the 4th time) but my car started smoking on the way there, so i didn't make it :(  we talked for awhile on the phone and said good-bye that way.  i  cried a lot, but in the end, i think it was for the best.  seeing him and saying good-bye again would've been harder.



i haven't heard from him yet today, so i'm hoping this time it's really it.  if i don't get a phone call from him by tonight, then i know boot camp is really happening and our 13 weeks of being apart has officially begun.  once i know that, i'll decide how i feel about it then :)  as of right now, i'm doing okay.  i have complete peace about him leaving and i feel God is going to be coming in and washing over me with His presence.  i'm ready and excited for it.



that's all the news for now :)  the power of men numero dos will be coming shortly.  i haven't had time to work on it, but it will be up by the end of this week for sure.



thanks for reading!
