Sweet Reunion

I finally got to see Andrew after a week apart! Mr. Journey and I went to his All Star football game yesterday and it took all the effort in my body to not just jump over the railing and go hug him on the field! I kept looking at my watch the whole time and was anxious for the end of the game. Yay we won! 13 to 3! Now I had my sights set on Andrew and I rushed through the crowd to get to him asap. I was debating whether or not to make a scene and jump into his arms or something crazy like that, but when the moment came, I just gave him the biggest hug I could give and he pretty much lifted me off the ground. :) And you'll never guess what happened next...he kissed me! Our first public kiss in front of a ton of people! It was so sweet :).


Thanks to Mr. Journey who had his phone handy for a picture! :)

It was so great seeing him after such a long week. We've been apart for that long before but it was just different this time. I speak for both of us when I say we grew so much over that week and really appreciate each other so much more. It was so wonderful hanging out for the 30 min after the game, too. Yes, it was very short because it was so late, but it was still so precious.

This morning I woke up at 5 am to get ready to take him to the airport by 7. I was so excited to see him again that I showered and got ready in half an hour! That's like record time for me! lol. We made sure to savor every minute of the car ride to the airport, which was half silence, but still incredible. I had debated in my head if it was a good idea for me to actually take him and ship him off to Colorado, seeing as how I am way too emotional of a person lol. But in the end, I was so happy that I got to see him a little bit more and even kiss him goodbye. (Oh that was our second public kiss! lol)

So now we will be apart for about three and a half weeks. As hard as it may be, we both talked about how we will only grow in our relationship together and can't wait to be that much closer to each other when we both get back to Texas.

Saying hello after a week was so sweet, saying bye for almost a month was bitter sweet, but saying hello after that will be indescribable. :)

We're Finally Here!

Destin, Florida.... We're here! It's been a long time since we started getting excited for this trip and we just made it. It was quite an adventure, too. I've never been on a little jet before, so the flight over was a new experience. It was funny because Mary had said she was the scared on flights, and I assured her I was just fine flying. WRONG! haha. Being on a tiny plane is much different than a huge commercial one. It was nice that we only had to be there a whole ten minutes before takeoff and we didnt have to worry about checking in luggage or anything. But when we took off...oh boy. I feel sorry for Mary's hand, I kinda squeezed it too hard at times. Mary was all cool and collected and I was about to fall apart. Of course I put on a strong face, but I was terrified lol. But it got much better when we were in the open air and out of the clouds. Yup, the rest of the flight was great. I'm already so thankful and lucky to be able to go this trip with Mary. It's gonna be a ton of fun. :)

So here's a couple pics :)

Charlie wasn't paying attention...



There we go :)
