So I'm finally picking up where I last left off. Sorry if anyone has been patiently waiting, but with 40 hours of work and plenty of other things that have to be done with a husband and puppy. It's a bit hard to even check my facebook haha. Just a few days after we got married, Alex had to head back to good ol' Kansas while I stayed in Florida. We did not know how we would get my stuff to Kansas nor did we really know what to do in general about anything. I was currently in a lease and didn't know about using his orders to break the lease or anything of the sort. So once they said they wouldn't let me leave, I left anyways. We had made a plan I would stay in Florida for a little and make money to help come up to Kansas. Well being newlyweds and in love, all I cared about was getting to him. So one night he finally said sure just come now, you better believe I called work told them I was leaving earlier then expected and packed my car up as much as I could. The thing with being the youngest and the youngest girl to the matter is my momma did not want me to leave. If it was up to her I'd still be in Florida to this day. But she did not understand. I was willing to risk it all for the man I was in love with and still am very much so to this day. I showered and made sure i looked cute but also comfy for the 24-26 hour drive I had that was in front of me. I piled in my car with my two cats I had at the time and started on my way. I did drive by my moms to see if she was up, I was going to give her a key to my apartment but she was already sleeping for the night. It was about 1 am already. So I hit the road. Yes that means I did not say bye to anyone. No one knew I was driving to Kansas except for Alex. So many emotions ran through me and I have no idea still to this day how I made it only resting twice. I remember getting right before Georgia, stopping at a rest stop and passing out. That drive was something else. I could not see out the back of my window, two cats constantly meowing and my back starting to kill me. At one point I was on the phone with Alex and next thing I knew I was getting pulled over. First ticket ever trying to get to my new husband. To this day I have yet to pay that ticket due to the fact there was never an address on the ticket, but I do refuse to drive threw Illnois just in case. Fast forward to Kansas. When I left I didn't have much money, less then 200 dollars to my name. I just barely got to Kansas with it. After awhile of entering Kansas, there is a toll. I barely had the 2.25 I needed. I got through it and passed through the toll and excited the guy told me I had about 2 hours left. It was about midnight, all I could see were hills and cars that had stuff all over it( later I found out it was just dirt). I started to think OMG where am I?? It reminded me something straight out of horror movie. I don't know what I was thinking, but I was in a new state knew no one except Alex and that was it. Kind of nerve wrecking really. It was about 1:30 and I finally pulled into Fort Riley. I called him so excited, but I had no idea where to go. He said he would stay on the phone with me to tell me where to turn but the guy at the gate told me I had to get off. Before I continue, think about this. A 20 year old in Kansas with a car completely loaded and two cats. It was freezing, I forgot how cold it does get outside of Florida and I was in victoria secret sweatpants and a jacket. I also have no knowledge of anything military before Alex. I was approached by two military police and was told to exit my vehicle, I kinda freaked. I was trying to hold one of my cats while they searched my car, and tried to make sure my other cat didn't run off either. I had a buck knife in the car as my proctection and had no idea where it was since it fell between the seats somewhere. After a bit they let me get back in the car and finally head onto post. I was told to stay off my phone since it's a law no driving and talking on the phone without a handsfree device, so I called Alex and put him on speaker. He told me where to go and after awhile I finally made my way to his barracks. I can't remember if I ran to him or not. I remember being freezing cold and finally making my way to him. I was so happy being with him and couldn't believe how so much had changed in under two weeks of last seeing him and in just a few months of being with him. I was finally truely happy and with my new husband. We set off to his room and well what do you expect from newlyweds HA!
- I really do enjoy telling the story of how we became. It's almost like our own fairy tale story. A fairy tale story with no ending, because true happiness has no endings - only beginnings :)
