My spring break was really really good. It wasn't your normal lets go out and get wasted, spend all day at the beach, come back with a nice tan spring break. Mine was more like annoying 50+ hour car ride with the family and then spending a few quality days with my brother. The first day that we were in Texas, it was beautiful....like nice warm 70-75 degree weather. The next few days weren't so nice. It rained most of the time we were there, but oh well. Anyway, I got to see Justin....that was great! I mean he and I have never really been that close, but for some reason I was just so happy to see him and was so incredibly proud of him. He looked so good. The Air Force has changed him soo much and it is so awesome! I had such a good time just being down there. I am so proud of him! I got so many pictures while I was there. I went crazy with the camera! Hahaha...thats good though! Justin is trying to get me to join the Air Force too. He's not saying that I should go active duty, but maybe just join the reserves for the time being and that way, I can get the hang of it all and just kind of see if its for me or not. I mean it definitely can't hurt anything. That is for sure, if anything its going to teach me more than any college could. Plus, they would help me pay for college and probably I would be getting a pay check every month too. So that would be really cool! I don't know, maybe it is something I should look into! Who knows, maybe this summer I'll be in the same place Justin was two weeks ago! I'm not really sure what it is, or why it's happening but I have been thinking about Wes again, a lot! It seemed like the entire time I was down there, he was all I could think about. It was really weird. I miss him a lot. I kept telling myself that I was over him...but I'm not! I'm not at all and it drives me nuts!!! Plain and simple! I wish God would help me get over him...or at least make it so that it wasn't so hard. But then again, I think he has more important things to be worrying about other than who I like and who I don't!!! It's something I need to be able to do on my own! I don't know! Let's see...I guess I should tell about my actual trip. We left on Tuesday morning, and got into San Antonio at like 11-11:30 Wednesday afternoon. So that wasn't too bad. We went to the hotel, dropped our crap off, then we drove out to the base to make sure we knew where we were going, then we went down town and walked around for a little while. It was a very early night on Wednesday because we had to be at the base at like 8:30. So we got there at like 9 or so and saw what they call the Airman's run. Justin was right in the front of his flight because he was an element leader, which is pretty cool. So then we just hung out at the base all day until they had what they call the Retreat, where they take the flag down and stuff. Then we got to hang out with Justin on base until like 7 or so. That was cool. Then on Friday, was the actual graduation and it rained all morning until they actually cancelled the parade and the graduation was held at the individual squadron. Well I got soaked and it was cold outside so I froze to death. The graduation was really short and to the point. Then we got to go see his bed and stuff. Boy, it was the neatest place I have ever seen in my entire life. The latrine (bathroom) was so clean that I was so afraid to wash my hands because I was afraid to leave my finger prints on the handles. Then we got to hang out with Justin all day there until like 7 again. Saturday Justin got a town pass where he could go off base, so we got to hang with him all day, and we downtown and walked around the alamo and along the river walk. That was really cool. I got lots of pictures of that too. Then after we did all that stuff, we took Justin back to the base and went to the SBC center and waited for the guys to come for a hockey game. So we hung out a few extra hours with Justin at the hockey game. That was cool. But at like 9 or so Saturday night we left San Antonio. That was fun, we met some of his friends, and they were funny as all hell, not to mention there were a few cute ones too! Haha, I'm a girl...of course thats what i"m looking for....cute boys!!! BUt the car ride home was ridiculous. First I slept most of the way....I woke up at like 6:30 to my mom saying we can't just leave it here. It was really weird too because i had just had this dream about finding this stray dog that was really under nurished, I woke up to find this stray dog that my mom found at a gas station. So needless to say we now have a new dog at our house that we found in Oklahoma and brought home with us. So that was something different..only our family!!!! But then we get to Indiana....and we get into an accident.....Only us. So my uncle freaks out on my grandma. So that was bad, so we had to sit on the side of a highway in Indiana for like an hour waiting for the cops to come. Uh....nerve wracking. So I've decided that I am never going on another car trip with my family. I would much rather go on a car trip with a bunch of 6 years old hyped up on sugar. It would be much less stressful. But anyway, that was my amazing spring break. Haha....but anyway, I have a speech that is due tomorrow and I need to get it done. So until next time....over and out!
