Off Track

So this isn't going to be a part of the challenge. This is just a regular old blog entry (you're welcome). Basically, we're gonna play catch up. Today, for instance, is October 3, 2012. My two year, eleven month anniversary with my Zac is on the tenth of this month. I am leaving to see him in THREE DAYS (which cannot come soon enough!!). Today, I called and scheduled an appointment to get our marriage license (which we will be doing on Monday at 3 o'clock west coast time) and I filled out my first paper with my new last name... well, ok, so it doesn't quite count because I had to sign it with my maiden name and fill it out with my maiden name, but when it prompted me to fill out my new last name, dammit, I was READY! I also have my wedding bands now (I have an extra and Zac has his... I let him pick it since I already have the one that matches my engagement ring, so to throw in a little surprise, I had his engraved with "Love Always, Your Roxy"). I bought a pretty and feminine nighty and thong set to sleep in while i'm out there, I have all of my lingerie that I own in my suitcase already. I packed up my birth certificate and social security card along with the actual application for the marriage license, so I don't forget them or get them separated (and have a mini meltdown when I can't find them later). Did I mention I leave in three days? As in, Saturday, I will finally be seeing my love after [five days short of] seven months?! I'm so excited... I was literally walking around Walmart with my mom tonight acting a fool because I couldn't control my excitement. And what's really awesome is that she's really come to terms with my getting married and now I can really talk about it with her. It's nice to be able to get excited with my mom about getting married because that's who should be most excited for me, you know? I know she's sad I'm moving and blah blah blah, but I know I'll be able to keep in touch with her through multiple different technologies and now I will really feel like I have my whole heart into wanting to keep in touch, since I'm not leaving while she's still upset about my getting married so young. So happy about that. Other than that, I've just been working my ass off, as usual, and my tolerance for people is getting lower and lower. Victoria's Secret, I'm fine. But the Hot Dog Shoppe... oi. some of those customers REALLY know how to be rude and bring down a good vibe. I am ALWAYS polite and personable, I do NOT bring my problems to work, and yet, here you are, taking your life out on me. Don't be a jerk, please. All you have to do is say "please" and "thank you". I don't even care if you smile, I know some days that's really hard. But to not thank the person that just fed you just because your life is miserable? Give me a break... I am thrilled to be getting out of there soon; thank goodness for moving and for the USMC ball in the early weeks of November. Anyways, Zac has remained a total sweetheart since he's been stateside, if not MORE sweet. I hope this side of him remains outwardly shown to me :) Because I love it. He says there are some surprises for me when I get out there (and for our wedding!). I can't wait :) four more softball games, ten and a half hours of work, two separate plane rides, and THREE MORE DAYS are separating me and my marine!!
