Hey Chels,
Wow it’s almost 3:30am and I’m still not asleep yet. I was watching your YouTube video and a thought popped into my head. I know what I’m going to show you when I get home. Well, maybe not until I empty out the memory card, but still. I am going to show you my two favorite parks growing up as a kid and also I want to show you me playing the piano. I still have to do some phone karaoke for you as well. I have no idea what my town will look like when I get home but I can assure you that I’m going to go nuts… I need to finish all my stuff by the week before Christmas (so you can open this on Christmas day). I keep thinking of stuff to add and it’s making me really excited that I have so much to show you and so many ideas. I dunno how I want to show you the Christmas decorations yet… I think it has to be dark for them to show up. My camera isn’t so good with dark. So we’ll see.
I am so exhausted. I could probably sleep if I laid still long enough. But I just have to write. I ended up having a really great trip. I went to the beach, I fought, made love, swam, watched football, did lots of nbs, and just all around relaxed. I’m really grateful that I could come on this trip. I did a lot of complaining in the beginning, especially when I couldn’t sleep. But I had plenty of books to read to keep me company, which helped. It wasn’t as hard to pack this time, either. I thought it was going to be a pain in the butt. I guess I had less stuff than I thought I had. Well, I have one more piece of nbs that I hope I can pull off tomorrow. It would make my trip complete to film soaring in the sky. Before we discovered Spirit airlines, I used to take two flights through either Cheaptickets.com or Expedia.com. It sucked because I had to get up at odd hours and I hated boarding more than once. Also, it would take like 5 hours to get some place instead of only almost 3. So travelling day would really be a whole day of travelling. The last time (with the exception of my June flight this year that got cancelled so I had to find something at the last minute) I got stuck in Atlanta, Ga. I had 10 minutes to get from one side of the airport to the other. I didn’t want to take the stupid tram, but it probably wouldn’t have mattered, anyway. I got there right after my flight left. I was so upset I just started bawling right there at the terminal. After standing in line for 2 hours, I got told that I couldn’t go home because every flight to o’hare and midway were booked so I’d have to stay in Atlanta overnight. I asked if I could get a flight back to Ft Lauderdale and the lady said, “sure.” So, that’s what happened. I ended up being able to stay an extra night and day, but having to say goodbye twice in one week really blew. So… with the exception of a cancelled flight and the occasional delayed flight, this is really the best airline, at least the most affordable. It’s funny, but whenever I see air tran, I always think of that horrible flight you and David had on the way down here in 2006. That was a huge clusterfuck of a day… I just keep thinking of that phone call I got at like 6am (I think). But I was so happy to finally see you. You and David met up with Brian and me at the Walmart by the apartment. I really miss that apartment. What’s funny is I always associate that mango grapefruit bodywash with that day on the beach. That was the best day ever… I got so many good pictures in. I never use that camera anymore, not since I got my digital one. But I can’t bear myself to get rid of it… I had so many good memories with that camera. Alright, before this gets any longer, I should really try and sleep, at least a little bit. I love you and I really hope the next time I’m here I get to see you. It will be right after you opened your Christmas present, too. Ooooh I didn’t even think about that!
Love,
me
