The Wait

This is something we have to get use to for sure. My wait was different than Kyle's wait today. I was up at 7am, not rested at all from the lack of sleep the night before. I had everything ready to go and I just needed to be patient and that's the hardest thing in the world on days like these. I took my time getting ready and eating breakfast. I was planning on heading to the hotel I booked for us before I went to the airport. I wanted to be there before noon and needed to leave at 10am to get there. Well it was snowing outside, so my plan of lugging all my stuff through the subways failed. I called a cab instead which meant I didn't need to leave till 11am now. Another hour of wait time. I was so ready to go when the can driver showed up. It was my first time using Uber and I'm so glad I did. The driver was fantastic and was so excited for me when I told him my plans for that day.

I booked us a room at the Springhill Hotel and Suites and had called ahead to make sure I could come check in early because I had a plan. Since Kyle and I couldn't physically be with each other on Christmas, I was making Christmas for us! That's why I got the hotel and was there at noon, 4 hours before he landed. Everyone at the hotel was very helpful and excited for me!

I did not expect the room to look like it did though. I was in shock, in a good way. It really was a suite, it was huge! With 2 full bathrooms, a bedroom, living room and even mini stovetop and fridge. There was tons of room too. After I took it all in for a minute I got to work on decorating the room. I had a my mini Christmas tree and decorated it with lights and ornaments. I hung his stocking and put presents under the tree. I had prepared dinner too, baked potato soup with all the fixings. I had that in my new crockpot from Christine and a pitcher of sangria in the fridge. Now that I look back on it I can't believe I transported a full crockpot and full pitcher of sangria without spilling a drop! Skills. I finished decorating the room faster than I thought it would take and once again I had more time to sit and wait. So I took a video of the room all decorated. I even had time to paint my nails.



KYLE POST VIDEO HERE


Once I couldn't last any longer I headed down to the front desk only to find that the 7 trains weren't running and that they wouldn't be for a long time. So again, I had to take a cab. They called one for me and I only wanted him to take me to the train stop because Kyle and I were going to have to take a cab back from the airport. Guess what shows up as my cab? A limo. All the time before Kyle flew out he joked about taking a limo home from the airport and here I was taking it a few blocks to the train station. I couldn't wait to tell Kyle, and soon I would be able to in person!!

I made it to the airport an hour before he landed. I didn't bring anything with me but my phone, credit card, room key and metro card. I didn't have much to entertain myself and it was torture trying to contain my excitement!! I kept checking kayak to see where his plane was.
Ugh where is he?! This is where I waited for him, forever...

Finally after over two hours, he walked through those doors that I had been staring at forever. I couldn't even hold still I wanted to just run up and grab him but I had to wait for him to come past the line into the waiting zone. But I couldn't wait any longer and when he was almost to me I giddly jumped into his arms! Finally!!
Finally, Together at last!

Building a table

So these are some of the things I do all day while I'm home alone when Kyle has to work. I usually go down to the corner cafe then go over to the markets and get what I need for dinner that night or any other random things we seem to need. If its not raining I'll go walk around the neighborhood and get lost and find my way back. This all needs to be done before 1 or 2 because thats nap time over here for everyone. All the shops close up for a few hours and go have huge lunches then sleep till its time to open up again for the evening. So today I built a table during those hours! Kyle bought this table from the NEX (the Navy Exchange on base) because the table he had barely fit the two of us, let alone a crowd if he ever had one. Plus his kitchen is big enough and he had gift cards so might as well! They delivered it around 9am and just put it in the kitchen then left. So it was up to us to build it. Well that was a bigger task than I expected when I started opening up the box....

Last night

This is the last night I'll spend in my bed! Tomorrow night I'll be sleeping on a plane for 11+ hours and then the night after that will be the start of my nights of sleep in Italy! It has been quite the intense week with preparing as well as seeing people before I leave. I just saw the whole LCAD gang again one last time tonight which was was awesome! Soooo good seeing Dana too =) I think I'm all packed and ready! Well I know I'm ready that's for sure but as for packed, well we shall see once I get there what I forgot! I did have to pack a carry on which I was trying to avoid. It seems like I will be carrying all this onto the plane with me! Yay!! That's what I get for packing my suitcase over 50lbs oh well. ♥   Mae

Our Christmas

I still had a secret Kyle didn't know about, the hotel Christmas, and he was about to find out. When we were waiting in line for a cab, I pulled out the room key that was in an envelope and gave it to him. He was very confused but I said just be patient. After dealing with out stupid cabbie we made it to the hotel. I didn't need to check in since I already had. I was do excited in the elevator I still couldn't contain myself I wanted to show him his surprise so badly! Once we got to the room he saw the sign on the door and I explained that since he couldn't be here for Christmas, I made it for us! He loved everything! I showed him around the whole place and everything that I had done. Our cute little christmas tree! Loaded baked potato soup with strawberry mango sangria and cute straws to match! The first thing he wanted to do was to have me open my present but I told him to wait. He wanted to take it out of his suitcase at the airport an have me open it he w...
