1 Year Down!

Remember this post last year? Well, here is what that secret was all about.

A year and 11 days ago today T and I eloped. We were getting married in June so his best friend could be there but we did not want to wait that long! So we eloped. We went to the Town Green by my parents house and got married in a gazebo by my Dad (who is an ordained minister, apparently with the internet and 10 minutes of time is pretty easy to do) and a few family and friends. From everyone else we decided to keep it a secret so they could all come to our June wedding. As our "real" anniversary, January 22, came up this year, it was amazing to 1. tell people that we have actually been married since January, and 2. reminisce on the year we've had. And boy, has it been an amazing one.

1 year down, 99 more to go! (yes, T and I plan on living until we are 120 & 121. You just wait and see!)

LOVEEEEEE

Another Day Alone

I am  home alone again today (seriously, I hate working 2 days a week!) but yesterday wasn't too bad. T picked me up at 11 to go to a going away party for Lt. R and Senior Chief. We had a beach BBQ and it was nice to meet even more people and have some fun outside. (T's face got so burnt that he looks like a lobster. I cannot look at him without laughing!)

Today I'll be home alone all day soooo I am going to try to keep myself busy. Gotta clean the kitchen and put away our laundry (I hate putting away our laundry, especially because we don't have a dresser). I think I a going to take a trip to the MCX to see if I can find a thank you gift for my bosses, for being so amazing to me over the years. Then, I am going to make my ceremony script, Wedding day timeline, and shopping list for all our last minute wedding things (because we're going to the Fashion District in LA on Sunday. They have the best wedding stores!). Hopefully when I finish all this stuff is when T will be home then we are going out to San Diego for our anniversary dinner.

And now, maybe because I am procrastinating a little, It's time for Friday Fill In with Wife of a Sailor!

1.Do you think civilians, in general, understand the meaning of Memorial Day?
I am not too sure, when I wasn't involved with someone in the military I just saw it as another day off. So I am sure many think the same of it.

2.What are your plans for the Memorial Day Weekend?
Well, tonight T and I are going to San Diego for dinner. Saturday we may hang with friends then Sunday we're going to LA. That's all that is planned so far.

3.What skill/talent do you wish you had? 
I wish I could be a master chef! I can cook but I wish I could cook like they do on "Chopped", like make delicious food out of anything. One day!

4.Which came first: the chicken or the egg? 
The chicken, because God put it here. Haha the end.

5.What is the best thing about your post (base)? 
Urgh, nothing! Okay, that's me just being dramatic, because I really dislike it here but I must say, the best beach is on base! There is sand for days! I normally never get in the water, but the waves are always nice.

Time Flies When You're In Love

Today is T and I's 2 year anniversary! We were talking about it yesterday and T asked,

"What has it been? 2 years? That's crazy"

Totally crazy because it feels like just yesterday when I met my now future husband. My previous relationship had just ended, and I definitely was not looking for anything serious, just someone to hang with. He was a sooo cute but I was sure I wasn't his type and turns out he thought I was out of his league. I think because we were so sure that neither of us liked one another we were just being ourselves when we hug out.

At first it was a little rocky. TJ has an interesting personality. He will call something as he sees it and he wasn't so nice about it. But I ended up liking it and him. For the next 2 weeks we were inseparable. We did everything from San Diego up to LA. 

One of the moments I look back on that makes me laugh is one night T, me and a bunch of friends all went camping together. We took a walk alone and started talking about his impending deployment. I told him,

" I think I can be in love with you"

and he says, "I think I can be in love with you too"

Then I ask, "What is going to happen to us when you deploy?"

He says something along the lines that we will still be together, just he would be over there and I'd be over here. "Then when I come back we will get married"

At that point I was like WHATTTT we cannot be rushing into stuff like that. We will have to see how everything goes when you come back before we can even go there. But while he was gone we realized we were really meant for each other. And here we are today, about to have our wedding in 30 days!

It seriously seems like all this happened yesterday. I miss the excitement of our dating days but I am excited for all our adventures as a married couple. Time really does fly when you're in love!


P.S I was planning on posting pics but Blogger is being stupid as usual!

Quick Update!

So for our anniversary we kept it mellow. Just got some dinner and cruised (In my AMAZING rental car. The Camry is definitely a step [or 10 steps] above my old little Focus but I could never buy one, that would ruin my allegiance to American cars.... anyway...) around Oceanside, Fallbrook and Bonsall. We decided were going to do something romantic while Teedle is on leave, which we will be in 3 days! We're flying to Salt Lake to see family (and apparently shoot some bunnies on Grandpa Holt's farm. I think I will be accidentally missing every time.) and go where ever the wind takes us!

But there are a few things I must do on vacation, and by a few things, I really mean one thing, lose some weight. 3 days after we come back is the Navy Corpsman Ball and I have the PUURRRFECT dress, the only problem is that I've gained a tad bit of weight so the dress DOESN'T FIT! But no fears, this problem is nothing a bit of running and a pair of Spanx can't fix.

Much Love,
Delainey
