Made it!

Luckily my long 10 hour flight wasn't too bad. I didn't sleep the whole time but I did watch a few movies. I only got restless when we were about 3 hours away. That last stretch is hard. The guy I sat next to, Zach, was quite too and didn't bother me at all which was good so I could try to sleep but that didn't work out. My goal was to sleep in the airport in Turkey because I didn't on the plane at all so once I landed I looked for a deserted quiet spot in the airport to lay down and try to sleep. I didn't know what gate to go to yet either because they hadn't picked one yet and I had to wait 3 hours before they did. Sleeping in the airport is the worst but I made the best of it and soon enough I was back on a plane for another 2 hours.

Kyle got to take a half day of work today so he could pick me up. I got in at 12:45 so by the time he got me we still had a full day together which was really nice. It was beautiful out too! He had parked on base so we walked out to the front of the airport and he walked over to get his car while I waited with my luggage. One of my bags had a broken handle that must have happened in transit because it wasn't broken when I left NYC. My big suitcase, the handle wont come out all the way. Kyle said he would fix it when we got home.

Kyle's place was all nice and clean, not because he worked hard to clean it...but because Natalia had come earlier that day. I still can't get over that he has a housekeeper. Silly boy. It was so nice out and since it was still early for us we made a cheese and cracker plate and went and sat out on the balcony to enjoy the view. I love that. Sitting with a cheese plate and enjoying the outside. We used to do that in California in our gorgeous backyard and it was my favorite! 

For dinner Kyle put steaks on the BBQ and I wrapped up some onions and potatoes in foil to put on as well. The steaks were rubbed with a brown sugar and coffee grind rub that Kyle put together. He also bought us a bottle of wine from downstairs at the Italian market and he thought it was red but it ended up being white. So it was good that I sent him fake ice cubes shaped like gemstones for Easter! We put those in our wine to bling it out!

I was so tired that after dinner we started watching some TV and I fell asleep pretty fast.

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...
