UGH!!!!!!!
I had 7 more paragraphs typed and it deleted it all!!!!!!!!
take two:
So to continue… Monday Night Football. I fly to Indy tomorrow… On the other station, What Happens in Vegas. Should I mention that my layover tomorrow is in Vegas?
Should I read this as a sign? Let’s hope that all goes well.
I have truly enjoyed my time in Idaho. It is very bitter sweet to be going home. I would just like to continue my life here, out west, in Idaho. The only thing keeping me from turning off my alarm to catch my flight… Brian. He is the ‘bitter’ part. I really hate it when we don’t see each other every night. You know how you talk to young couples that say they have been married 5 years and have never spent a night apart? Well that is definitely not us. The morning after we got home from our honeymoon Brian had to go home and work and there have been several other occasions that have led us to spend many nights apart from each other.
When he was in Canada, it was no big deal for me to have him gone, we couldn’t talk anyways. But since he got home, I have had a part of me that has just wanted to be home. It is getting harder and harder to be apart from one another. Does that make me weak? I would just like to think that it is because everyday we love each other more and more and I have had to rely on him for everything now that we are in Indiana and the closest friend I have is 26 hours away in any given direction besides Suzie. He is my best guy friend that I can talk trucks with, my golf instructor, my grocery shopping partner, my daily walk companion, Football enthusiast junkie partner, my personal chauffer who drives me wherever because I am too scared to drive in the traffic, my airport dropper-offer-picker-upper.
In movies you hear all the time that women need a great gay friend. That way they always have someone to talk to that is not going to create drama, a shopping partner, and someone who will tell us, ‘honey, don’t wear that again.’
Well, my husband is definitely NOT gay, but he plays the part of the Gay man right now. Shopping with him is definitely not the same as shopping with my mom or out with the girls, but Brian is my shopping partner. He doesn’t like or enjoy it, but we make sure we always make a pit stop at Dick’s to keep him happy. It is a sacrifice for him I am sure to go with me, but I really just don’t like to go by myself, but thank you Brian for always be willing to go.
I think Brian is becoming more in tune with what is in style. It seems like every few days I ask him, “what do you think of this outfit, does it match, what should I wear with it, what jewelry do I wear?” When we were first married he would always tell me ya, whatever, everything just looks great. I love you Brian but there are times that I would really rather have a woman’s opinion on fashion matters, but I don’t have those right now so Brian is it. He is getting better, and more honest about what looks good and is getting very good at putting it in a way I won’t take offense.
He has also had to become my ‘best girl friend.’ He listens to all of my drama. He is my shoulder to cry on. And unfortunately for him, I think I tell him things he would wish he would have never known about. AKA… women isses…
Anywhoo… the moral of the story is that I am truly grateful for Brian and I hate it when he is gone. I get so lonely.
Idaho, Idaho Idaho. I love you! When I got to SLC my dad came and picked me up and we just talked to whole way home. It was great to catch up. The drive even went by fast! And those of you that know me, I hate driving in cars. I am not patient. Mom and Logan greeted me in their BSU shirts ready to watch the game. We had a BBQ and enjoyed the game. Don’t worry, we recorded the R.S broadcast and watched it Sunday.
Sunday I got to go to our own ward. It was so nice! It was nice to be back in a ward where you know everyone and everyone loves you. We went for a really nice drive in the mountains up past Warm River.
Monday I got to go to Zumba! Idaho Zumba is so much better than IN Zumba. I actually got a work out! It about killed me to tell you the truth. If I were to Zumba with the way Brian and I have been eating, I seriously think I would be in great shape. There is too much good food in Idaho and I think I will be taking home a few more pounds with me. I enjoyed doing Zumba everyday I was here. I spent most of Monday at Premier talking to all of my friends. I love the ladies that I worked with. I even got my hair done. I have the best hair girl. I love her. I only started going to her about a year ago and she is my all time favorite. Is it weird to say that I wish we stilled lived in Idaho because I really think that we could become the bestest of friends? It makes me really sad. I find someone I really think we could really be great friends and I move to Indiana where I can’t find friends. How do I rate.
Tuesday I spent the day with my mom in IF. It was so nice to just go shopping all day and go to lunch. I didn’t buy a single thing but to have regular, normal, familiar, girl talk, was so nice.
Wednesday I met Sheila, Grandma Gibbons, Mark, Jackie and Ezra for lunch in Pocky. We met at Café Rio. I didn’t even know they had one there. It replaced Pocatello Pizza Place! It was our all time favorite pizza place that caught fire a few years ago and the owners never did have enough money to restore the building.
Thursday we went to the temple. I have only been in Indiana 2 months but I have realized how much I miss the temple. I took advantage of it while I had it so close. There have been many days where I just need to go to the temple but when the closest temple is 3 hours away in the city, you just can’t decide to go whenever. We did a session with my grandma and grandpa and then did some sealings. It was so great but it really made me miss my Brian. We had a nice dinner at Wingers and then went home and gathered things up to go enjoy an evening at the Sand Dunes. We played Botche Ball and had a fire and made S’mores. It was so wonderful. It was great weather this week! Like mid 70s or 80 every day!
Friday we went to the football game. Sugar beat Kimberly for the first win of the season. I think I was the good luck charm.
Saturday we went to Island Park to watch conference. It is so beautiful there. We had the best four-wheeler ride. Such a great weekend.
Sunday night was difficult. We played canasta. Don’t worry, my mom and I won. J But as I went to bed, I broke down. My last night in Idaho. It was like leaving for the first time. Today, Monday, not much better. I realized that I was leaving a place I love for a place I don’t want to be. It was hard to say goodbye to everyone. My dad drove me down to SLC as mentioned above so I don’t have to take the Salt Lake Express at two in the morning. I hope Brian makes lots of money so someday I can just fly in to Idaho Falls and not have to inconvenience people to get me to and from the airport 3.5 hours away.
Needless to say, this week has been the best! I don’t want to go get on a plane. I have realized though, that home is where your family is, my Brian. I just hope that someday the Lord will allow us to come home. Home to Idaho. Even somewhere just out west will be better ha.
Thank you to all that have made this week so great. Thank you to my Brian for working so hard to allow me to come. Thank you to my mom and dad that have done so much for me and created a life full of wonder and memories that I will cherish forever.
I get to see Brian tomorrow! YEA!!!! I think he is going bored silly without me home!
