It's been a week or so since I've posted last but I've had a good excuse for slacking, I promise! Last week Tuesday I got up bright and early to drive down to the cities to go pick up my amazing husband at the airport. I've been waiting, very impatiently I might add, to see him for the past almost 2 months! From that moment on for the next 5 days I was in my own little world and happier than I ever thought I could be. He got to meet some of the most important people in my life, and even though it may have been a bit overwhelming for him, he did it all with a smile and a few laughs. More than once I would wish that we had more time so that he could meet everyone. There are still so many people that I want him to meet.
We had lunch with "grandma and grandpa" (Lene and Bob) at our traditional Pizza Ranch. After that I brought him to work to meet everyone and most importantly to re-unite him and Megan after 4 long months of not seeing each other! She was so happy and surprised that she shoved me out of the way to run and give him a huge hug! Since she is the only other person in MN that Bryan knows, I made sure that we got to see her as much as possible. That night he also got to meet Vahna, Alisa, and Shoutz as we had our own little party at their place.
Wednesday came fast and after eating yummy pancakes for breakfast (yes I actually cooked), we ran some errands, and then I had to unfortunately work from 2-8 that night. It was the longest 6 hour shift of my life! It was totally worth it because while I was away at work, he was at home making homemade spaghetti and meat sauce with fresh baked cheesy french bread! It was sooooo good!!! Making a mental note that I'll have to let him cook more often ;)
Thursday morning came early and Megan picked me up for work while he continued to sleep. It felt like the clock just wouldn't move. Finally my boss kicked me out of work so that I could spend time with my husband! Have I ever mentioned that I love my boss :) We went to Litch so that he could meet my mom, had lunch with my brother, and then hung out at my cousin Jeremy's place for a little while before we headed up to Grand Casino Mille Lacs for a night alone at the casino. That jacuzzi suite was HUGE but best of all it was free!!!! (Thank you)
We had to leave early the next day to drive all the way down to Hutchinson to meet my sister and brother-in-law for lunch. We ate at the yummy Zella's in town (thank goodness they had a form of mac and cheese or we would have been stuck with McDonalds). I never noticed before just how much alike him and Mat are, it's pretty scary to be honest. After running around and doing more errands I got my fix of DQ by getting a large twist cone. There is ALWAYS room for DQ, but that doesn't mean you're going to feel great afterwards. So we putzed around Litch some more waiting for my dad to get off of work so we could meet him for supper at the Legion. I was shocked just how much Bryan got my dad talking. It was pretty funny to watch. Then it was back home again to cloud to see Megan and Wade one last time before he left. I couldn't believe that I was already saying that. It broke my heart to know that this was the last chance he'd get to see Meg for who knows how long, it was the last night for at least another month until I'd get to tell him goodnight in person, my happy world was coming to an end so quickly and I didn't know how to grab ahold of the time and make it stop :'( It was hard to try and stay positive when I knew the inevitable was just around the corner.
Saturday we woke up fairly early and I made us breakfast again. We lounged around until we had to go to the bank, but unfortuantely I think we lounged a bit too long since we got there literally a minute after the bank closed, darn. There was a nice surprise added to our day when we got to talk and catch up with one of his best friends for about 25 minutes that afternoon. Shain was so jelous that Bryan was here in St.Cloud and he wasn't (especially since MN is his home state and he's out in Colorado). I guess you snooze you lose buddy :P We made it a point for the rest of the afternoon to spend as much time together doing as little as possible. So we took a stroll down Munsinger Gardens and made some plans for our upcoming re-wedding next year until he had to leave. I've never hated that drive to the cities more in my life! It was just as hard if not harder on the drive back. When I got back to my apartment and walked in my room all I could think was that was just here and now he's gone. It's going to be a LOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGG month until I get to see him again, but it's always worth it in the end.
Now it's Sunday and I've been having the worst beginning of the week ever. I did the over night shift last night and was supposed to be done at 6 but the person who was supposed to relieve me didn't come until 6:45! I got about 2 hours of sleep only to come to work at the apartments and get yelled at by people all day who can't move in to their apartment because they're too much of a procrastinator to get their heads out of their butts and turn in a freakin piece of paper!!! AHHHHH!!! Any ways, here's to hoping that the rest of my week gets better. (will add pics later)
