So I haven't written since Greg finally got home because I feel like being selfish and spending all of my time demanding attention from him. Those of you who have ever seen him play call of duty know that I will talk non stop the entire time he's playing. I dont know why I do it, its just like this switch that goes on. I think its more of a game for me to see if he can pay attention to me and the game at the same time.
Anyways, last weekend we went to Dallas for 5 days. On Friday we drove to Dallas only to discover Greg left his wallet at home, and we had to drive all the way back to Abilene, and then back to Dallas. This was in hurricane rain, with multiple accidents along the way. We spent 10 hours in the car. We met up with one of his old Buddies, Dmitri Sokgobezon, and spent the evening eating pizza and listening to them all tell their war stories.
Saturday we went to the Warped Tour. We got to listen to a lot of new bands, a few of which we decided we were going to go home and look up some more (they dont get to play very long). We also got to see some big ones, Motion City Soundtrack, Andrew W.K., etc. It was a very fun but very tiring day. We ended Saturday at the melting pot eating the most amazing dinner I've had in quite awhile. We decided to spoil ourselves and go all out and get their ultimate romance package. It included a dozen roses and the vase, two champagne glasses, a bottle of champagne, a 4 course fondue dinner, and they scattered rose petals all over our table complete with candles, a private booth, and they even took our picture at the end of the night. It was probably one of the best days we had in a long time.
Sunday we went to the Dallas Zoo. Idk why but the zoo is our thing. Something about the animals and seeing little kids so excited lets us relax, goof off and just have a good time. Sunday night we went to the Galleria mall. It has an indoor ice rink, 4 floors, and I discovered a 5 guys. My favorite burger place in the entire world! I was soooo excited!!!! Then we spent the evening in the hotel just relaxing.
Monday was intense. We decided to trade in my little beat up cavalier and get a new 2008 Chevy Equinox. We got a great deal on it, its name is Lexie, and its the best car in the entire world and I am way excited to drive it to Wisconsin on Tuesday! :) Monday night we stayed at a 5 star hotel in Downtown Dallas called Hotel Za Za. We had a lovely picnic on our balcony complete with wine Greg brought home from Greece, cheese, crackers, meat, some veggies. We played some jazz music and danced a bit, and had a really wonderful time not even going anywhere. I wish we could have more nights like that together.
Tuesday was the best though, we got to go to 6 flags. Rollercoasters, got a charicature done of the two of us, which will most likely be displayed at the wedding reception. And we got to drive home in our new car! It was the most amazing weekend ever!
Since then Greg is back to work, stressed as usual. But last Monday he got a promotion! We found out on Thursday that he got BTZ (below the zone - its was happens when an airman does really well and gets to pin on Senior Airman 6 months early!) and he was pinning it on Monday, July 12th. My baby is no longer an A1C. A little sad cuz now our cake topper is wrong, but thats ok, he's really happy about it. Who doesn't love a raise?
I think thats all for now, now its just packing and making sure we have everything we need for the wedding. Lots of love to all! I cant wait to see you soon!
