Just needing to vent, no pictures.

The last few weeks have been crazy. And I guess that's the way it is when you are moving. Last Thursday Christy and I came to St. George with David's parents, which was good because I had lots of stuff to do. I signed my lease, secured a job and a few other things. Wednesday morning mom, dad and I got in the car really early and drove to San Diego in moms car with the trailer in tow. Wednesday David's ship pulled in around nine. I got to base early enough to watch the ship pull in and be secured to the docks. David and I spent the rest of the day hanging out with mom and dad. We packed, cleaned, went bowling and went and watched "Imagine that". We also went swimming. It was my last day with David. Thursday morning I drove David to work and we said our goodbyes at that point because I really did not want to go to base this morning and deal with all the crowds. Thursday morning the missionaries came over and helped us load the trailer. I supervised, and I went to Jamba juice and bought everyone a smoothie. It took about two hours to load all the stuff. Then the rest of the day we cleaned and finished packing a few last minute things. I was really stressed about making sure that the house was really clean to pass the inspection. Then I spoke with David in the evening and he said that he really wanted me to come say goodbye this morning. I decided to stop being selfish and decided I would go. Thursday night was spent on the floor. This morning David called and said they were pulling out early so I needed to come to base. So I got dressed and drove to base. All the parking was secured!!!! So I drove around for twenty minutes trying to find a parking lot that I could park in. I was beyond frustrated. David was calling to see where I was and I got upset with him. I was mad and David was mad. Finally I found a parking lot that I could park in and then I walked to the ship. I was annoyed the whole time. Then I got to the gates and called David to see where he was. When I found him I noticed he was in his coveralls and you could only come out the gates if you were in your whites. So David came over by the fence even though he was told he couldn't, then we stood on each side of the fence and yelled at each other. One of the Master Chiefs came over and said something to David about him not allowed to be by the fence. David back talked to him, then he was escorted back to the ship. So that was it, that was my one and only experience with the ship leaving for deployment and I turned it into a yelling match disaster. I drove home and finished packing and cleaning. Now a bright spot in my day, we passed the inspection...so no charges for us :) Then we got in our vehicles and drove home. I drove ahead of mom and dad. Them pulling the trailer slowed them down a lot. So when I got to St. George I called Crystal and asked her to meet me at the apartment. When she got there I took the key and tried to open the door. And would you believe it, it didn't open. I tried both doors several times, Crystal tried both doors several times and then we called Alisha and she came over and tried a few times and finally got one of the doors open. I was mad at that point, it was hot and it had been almost an hour. I called mom and cried because this just added to my very bad day. Then Crystal and I went to Walmart to buy some groceries. The check out girl was not a regular checker so it took her a little longer and she rang up my tomatoes twice. She couldn't fix it so I had to go stand in the customer service line and wait an hour for my two dollars and sixteen cents. So because of my stubborn, selfishness David left for six months with our last words being angry ones and I stood for an hour out in the heat trying to get into the apartment. Sometimes I just need to vent! I know that things aren't that bad. I really am glad about all the things that are good in my life.

Hang in there, stress ALWAYS makes bad days even worse. And so does the heat. And now that your down here, lets do lunch sometime.

Yikes! That is, indeed, a ROTTEN day; I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how hard that'd be. After all, moving in general is pretty much hell for me, so adding everything else on top would have been even more miserable. I'm glad Alisha was able to work her magic on the door lock; what on earth was wrong with it!? Stupid inanimate objects and their need to ruin our lives sometimes... :) But now you're here safe and sound and when you have settled, let me know and we can hang out. Or-if you need help settling, I'm a fabulous organizer!
