This is one of the weekends I missed before I started posting! I think this one was in May maybe. Not sure but it was the first time Kevin came home to see me!


This was the first weekend Kevin came home to see me! He got to my house Friday evening and I had decided to make him dinner and was almost finished when he got there. His mom was jealous she wasn't going to be in town so Kevin took a lot of pictures to send her. He just didn't tell me when he was taking it and caught me in awful faces. And of course he took a picture of my mom and of the filets before and the whole finished product. We had filets with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and a salad. After dinner Kevin and I left for some alone time and I wanted to show him around where I grew up. So I took him to downtown Greenville. First stop was ice cream from Marble Slab. Kevin got chocolate, of course, and I got coffee. Next I wanted to take him to falls park....except I got turned around and we ended up having to GPS it...I was going the wrong way....oops. But I showed him the cool bridge and the river. Next I wanted to look for a spot to sit and talk because I brought my outdoor blanket. We found a secluded place near the bed of the river. We ended up laying on my blanket and talking/kissing/snuggling for a few hours. By the time we got back we were both exhausted and we showered and got ready for bed. At this time Kevin was staying in the guest room. I didn't want to leave his side yet so I snuggled up with him and he ended up falling asleep with his hand on my back. Then I had to get up and go to bed.
The next day we got up and went to Kevins parents house. His mom was out of town at a horse show so it was just his dad that was there. Kevin showed me around the house and told me stories from when he was a kid! After we got settled we headed over to his brothers house and I got to re-meet Jeffery and meet his wife Brittany. We hung out for a while, drank some margaritas, watched this comedy program Jeffery had recorded! Oh and Kevins dad Ike ended up coming over. Oh and I met Donny Jefferys snake...I didn't like his head to get near me but I could touch his belly and tail. After that Kevin and I headed back to his house to get ready to go to dinner. Both of us jumped in the shower and got ready. I got completely ready without letting him see me. And I got kind of dressed up for the occasion hand a little black dress and I think he liked it. We ended up meeting two of his friends Matt and Tami at this really awesome Taco joint. Where also a few of Kevins old friends work. After dinner we went for a beer run and then met everyone back at a friends apartment. Got to meet a lot of Kevins friends, drank a few beers, then we headed back to Kevins house. That night we ended up pretty much snuggling and kissing all night! I swear we didn't want to waste a minute of our time together on sleep! That next morning Ike made us breakfast and then we headed out to a nursery because it happened to be mothers day and Kevin wanted to pick out some flowers for his mom. On our way there Kevin stopped at a QT to get a milk shake....thats the red straw in the first picture. We walked around the nursery hand and hand and picked out his mom some daisies. We hung out with Ike for a little while when we got back, but Kevin had a long drive a head of him and we had to get on the road. On our way back to South Carolina we talked and laughed. The last picture is Kevin singing to me in the car. I believe the song was Everything by Michael Buble. It was so cute! I loved it! We got back to my house and I had to say goodbye which is the worst! I'm awful at it and Kevin hates that I get so sad. But he left and I was sad anyways then I realized I couldn't find my phone....and the last time I remembered seeing it was in Kevins car. So I called Kevins mom and had her call Kevin to have him check to see if my phone was in his car and it was....so we ended up meeting back at a gas station so I could get it! So I got to see him one more time! So that made me happy!

Almost forgot this picture.... we were just goofing off before we left for my house that sunday. Isn't he the cutest?

I went to see Kevin this past weekend! I went to his new base in Havelock, NC. Its cherry point air station. I got there late Friday night because there was bad traffic and I hit a curb and had to get a part fixed on my car. But I ended up getting to the great hotel he got for us around 11:00 PM. He helped me carry all my stuff up to the room where he had a Chickfila sandwich and a coke waiting on me. Not only did he have it waiting on me but he placed everything on the table in a way that it made a smiley face. He is such a sweet little dork! FYI chickfila is my favorite fast food ever! So we ate and then snuggled and were happy to be together. Kevin had to get up really early to go to work and I woke up with him and stayed awake as he got ready. I got to see how he got ready for work and put on his cammies. He is so cute when in his uniform! He kissed me a billion times before he left. I went back to sleep for a while and got up around 8:00 AM and got ready, went and ate breakfast, had my car looked at after the long drive, and still had a little bit of time to kill. So I drove around exploring a little. I found downtown New Burn and fell in love. It was so cute and quaint. Finally around 9:30 Kevin called me and told me he was headed back to the hotel so I raced back trying to get there before him, which didn't happen. We headed back to the room, he changed and I promptly made him take me back to down town New Burn. He had never been down town either so we parked and decided to explore on foot. We found a few cute antique shops and walked through a farmers market. New Burn is on an inlet river, I think. And we walked to the water and looked at all the boats. It was a beautiful day, not to hot with a perfect breeze. We were walking down the sidewalk and just stopped and hugged each other. One of those big I love you hugs and then kept walking. A few strides down the sidewalk a man walking with his daughter, with glass bottles of pepsi in hand, stopped and asked us why we had a spontaneous hug while walking down the sidewalk. Kevin answered "Because she drove 7 hours to see me and its been a while since I've seen her." I'm glad he answered because the only thing I could think of to say was because we are in love and I would have sounded like a cheesy sap. We walked around a little bit more then we had to go meet Kevins friend Dan to pick up some cigars Kevin had ordered. Dans kids were cheering for a peewee football game, so cute. So we met him there and hung out with them for a while. All the little girls were doing cartwheels and stretches, and Kevin prompted that he couldn't do a cartwheel. So we had one of the little girls trying to teach him how and he kept falling, he couldn't land on his feet. It was so funny! We left there and headed back to the hotel to get ready for dinner. We went to a place called Morgans in New Burn! We both got a yummy in house Porter. Kevin had a steak and I had a jalapeño cream cheese burger! It was delicious! After dinner we went to an ice cream shop and Kevin got chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone, big shocker there. And I got a kiddie cup of expresso ice cream! It was very yummy but Kevin over ate and felt awful! haha So I decided to tickle him it was great! He finally jumped out of the car! We laughed at him being a fatty! I even took the rest of his ice cream away so he wouldn't make himself even more sick! After that we went to red box and rented the movie Mud. Got back and played it, Kevin fell asleep. Which he was lucky he did because the movie was awful! We went to bed shortly after. The next morning we were lazy and got up slow and checked out of the hotel. We went for a late breakfast at IHOP. Kevin got some chicken crepe and grits, I of course got toast, bacon, eggs, and hash browns. After that we went to look for a dress for a wedding we have coming up. No luck at the awful New Burn mall so we decided to go explore downtown again. We found a nice little spot near the water front park and sat there and relaxed and talked a bit. We decided to go walk around again and found the place where pepsi was first made in an old pharmacy. We also found a cool episcopalian church with a beautiful outside chapel area. They were railroad tie benches with a stone floor with a simple wooden cross at the alter. There were old oak trees covering the area with tons of spanish moss hanging from them, it was a beautiful setting. We decided we wanted a yummy fruity drink. I wanted a frozen lemonade. So we were now on the hunt to find a place downtown that would have something like that. And we had no luck so we headed to taco bell and got a frozen pink lemonade. Also Kevin never had a churro so he had to try it so I ordered one and he loved it! They are so yummy. After this Kevin needed to find a barber shop to get a clean hair cut before the work week and we happened to find one right near our hotel. I sat with him while he got his hair cut. After that it was time to say goodbye and I made it long and drawn out, which Kevin hates, but I can't help it. And then I started my long trip home, except I needed gas and Kevin followed me to the gas station and pumped my gas for me! Then I started my long trip home. Kevin called me after about 5 minutes to make me feel better because he knows how much I hate driving away from him. And he thought if we could talk for a little while it would make it easier, and he was right. I  am so thankful for him and how thoughtful he is! I love him so much! I'll check back in when I see him next!

Cute picture from the weekend!

Breathe in so deep.

Well this past weekend was labor day weekend and my sweet Marine got a long weekend off and spent it with me! We went to the pickens county gun range and got to shoot some skeet and targets! Kevin did great, me....well not so much! We also planned a lake day with both our families since they are such good friends. So me, my parents, kevin, his parents, my sister, her husband, and my nephew all loaded up on the boat and spent the whole day playing on the lake. We had an absolute blast! It couldn't have been a more perfect day! We also went to a gun shop and bought kevin a shotgun he had been wanting so he was really excited! As soon as we got home with it we were out shooting targets in the pasture. I also had wanted to recreate a picture we had taken from when we were little so we sat on the back porch and took this photo until we got it right! how cute?!?

Here are some pictures from the boat!! :D

Breathe in for luck,
