I woke up last monday with the craziest feelings in my little stomach. It was a mix between butterflies and knots...you know those feelings your get when you are about to go on a first date. This was my first date that I've had in you know 7 months with this boy i kinda like. I woke up,layed in bed... not knowing what the heck to wear...what was it going to be like when i first saw him again....questioning if it going to be awkward...or would things just start back up just like it was when he left.
i finally rolled out of bed, and started getting ready for my day. i did the usual makeup and hair routine and then stumbled over to my closet...which ended up being the hardest part haha. what the heck was i supposed to wear...a dress would look like i was trying too hard....but just ratty jeans and a crappy t-shirt would make me look like a ragamuffin...i needed to find a happy medium. finally i just decided to go with the safe casual...yet nicely accessorized look..because well, that was the last thing i tried on when i finally got sick of changing clothes!
my two good friends met me at my house and we piled into the car and headed to the airport...stoppping to get coffee at first. I was still so nervous inside, like a giddy little girl . that 1.5 hour drive to Oakland international airport seemed to take forever, every little bit of traffic seemed to add hours to the drive. then we got to the airport and it felt pretty surreal.
for 7 long months i had been waiting for that very day and it was so weird that it was finally here. i didn't have to worry any more that phillip was at war...i didn't have to miss him anymore...he was just minutes away from stepping off the plane.
Because he is military i was able to get a gate pass and sit in the terminal and be able to greet him right as he got off the plane...which was so nice! I made it through security super quick and i make it to the gate super easily. then i waited....and waited. The little man at the desk would come on the speaker several times and say how many more minutes the plane was delayed and every time i spoke the feelings in my tummy were intensified.
Finally the plane landed...and taxied to its destination. our wait was over. The door opened, and within a couple minutes i saw that tall handsome boy in uniform again! He quickly came over to me and gave me that big hug that i had missed so very much, and all those feelings in my stomach instantly went away! Things were just like they were 7 months ago, and i was instantly reminded of how much that long wait had been worth it.
we walked out of the terminal and met up with his family where he was showered with more hugs and cheers! ....we then headed for In and Out...and filled our stomachs with all the goodness it had to offer!
