Josh has been gone a lot these last few weeks. Two weeks ago he went to the Colorado river with his young men's group and that wasn't fun because it was the first time we had been apart since we started dating. However, on Saturday he came back home and we were able to spend time together pretty much the whole day. It was a lot of fun because we went with his family to go see UP, then out to frozen yogurt, and then back to their house to watch more movies. It was nice to spend time with him again especially since he was leaving for EFY two days after that.
Now EFY was a lot harder for both of us because he didn't want to be there and called/texted a lot. I felt very loved however, I knew he needed to be not talking with me but enjoying EFY. So I tried to not talk to him as much on Wednesday and then not at all on Thursday which worked because he then started to have a lot more fun. =)
This week was harder for both of us to be gone so I decided to plan a fun surprise date night for the day he got home and it worked perfectly. His family was planning to leave on a trip that night but his parents deiced to not leave tell Sunday so that we could spend some time together.
His parents and family also tricked Josh all day on Saturday into believing that they were really leaving for their trip that night and had him pack and everything. It was great because he really wanted to spend time with me before they left and was sad that we weren't going to be able to.
So when I showed up to pick him up and leave for our date he was completely shocked and had the biggest smile on his face (needless to say I also got a big hug)! I then handed him a piece of paper that I partly burned which made him get 10 random things from his house like church clothes, a flashlight, paper plates, etc.
Some of those things we used on the date and some we didn't.
As soon as he got everything and put them into a bag we were off! It was so funny
because he kept on asking me what were the plans and where we were going. He even told me that "he was allergic to surprises so I HAD to tell him" even though of course I didn't until he started to figure out where we were going.
We went to the beach to watch the sunset, then back to my house to eat chocolate covered strawberries out in my back yard with the heat lamp on and the pool lights under the stars (yeah I kind of went all out), and then to the church dance (which is why I told him to get his church clothes). I also made up a ton of random questions before the date and
put them onto flash cards so throughout the date I handed them to him and he had to answer them. It was great and we both had a ton of fun! As he put it "I am going to have a hard time to try and top this date"!!! Oh well it was a lot of fun!
So now he and his family are in Las Vegas and they get back just in time to celebrate the fourth of July and then I think the next person to leave is me for girls camp thank goodness!
Happy two months!!! =)
