I'm actually updating!!!
Wow, it's been forever since I've updated!!!! Don't ya hate it when
that happens? Well, a lot has happened in the past three weeks or so.
Where to begin?
Okay, let's start with Jeremy's visit.
So, he arrived March 22 (a Tuesday) and Mike and I picked him up at the airport and I actually recognized him, which is a good thing. I was really worried that I wouldn't know him when I saw him, but I did. Well, he actually recognized me first, but details, details. Anyway, we got his luggage and went to my house, where we had some dinner and played Dance Dance Revolution (he actually tried it!! He was getting pretty good by the time he left, too) and went to bed. The next day, I had class at 11am, so he came with me to my Rhetoric and Writing class, where we critiqued by paper on The Fifth Element, and then had lunch from Pita Pit. At that point I had to go to my dreaded Mammalogy classso I passed him off to Mike, who volunteered to entertain him until I got out of class. While I went to class, they walked down to Effin's Pub, which was closed, so they settled for Louie's Pub on campus andhad a few rounds until I got out of class. I got out of class and wewent to my house, where we had dinner with everyone, and mean EVERYONE!My brothers, Mike, Jeremy, my mom, her friend Trisha, and Trisha'sdaughter Christy. It was a good time. The next day, we attended Kiwanis breakfast and went to Sea World!! Up to this point, things had been pretty awkward between Jeremy and myself. I mean, we had met fleetingly at ICON, and then only managed to exchange letters and chat every once in awhile from July to present. It was the trip to Sea World that loosened us up. We had a great time there. Granted, it wasn't the prettiest day in San Diego because it was raining on and off and was a little cold, but we both put on bright yellow ponchos and made the best of it. :) At the end of the day, we both decided to get really wet and went on the water rapids ride they have there . . .twice . . . in ponchos . . . and still got pretty soaked. So, we hobbled over to the car, turned on the heat and headed home for warm showers. And then I fell asleep on the couch, as usual. Friday was a beautiful day for the beach, so we headed over to Coronado and layed around, watched a gaggle of really cute little kids, played frisbee, and attempted to go in the ocean. Well, he went in like it was nothing (he's from Maine, btw) and I could only make it in to stomach-deep water. WAAAAAY too cold for Kelly. :) We had to leave early because I had to give a tour at SDSU, which went well, and then we stopped at the Farmer's Market to pick up flowers for my mother because it was her 50TH BIRTHDAY!!! :) We had a fabulous birthday dinner and then Jeremy and I headed out to the National Comedy Theater and laughed really hard. :) It was a great last night for Jeremy, I think. I was SO sad to see him leave the next day.Actually, I left first because I was going to Alamosa. We spent our last couple of hours together at the airport and just talked aboutlife. It only took five days for me to fall for him, which I think has to be a record. I've never met any guy like him, and I wonder if I ever will. He has this amazing knack of bringing me from the depths of a bad mood into an emotional high . . .just over the phone! He's so gentle and sweet and intelligent and intuitive and all around . . . wonderful. Funny, because he actually felt the same way about me . . . but both of us knew that we couldn't let this go too far because he was going back to Iraq for the better part of a year, so we just decided to be rational about it and not let our emotions get the better of us. But, that didn't work, and I'm glad. So now, I guess you could say we're together. I'm doing my best to be true to him, and he's pretty much doing the same, even though we know that it doesn't make ANY rational sense, we're going to see what comes of it. :) He's putting in a request to transfer to Fort Irwin, California, so that when he comes back to the US, he'll be closer to me. I really hope if he's closer than Maine. Anyway, I'm completely blinded by love for this guy that I've really only known for five days and a few hours. Seems silly, doesn't it? But who cares? I don't. :)
After Jeremy's visit, I went to visit Priscilla in Alamosa, Colorado, for Spring break, which was so much fun . . . butI'm going to have to finish it some other time, because I actually havestuff to do. :) Sorry! More next time!
