Good week to have a birthday!

This week was not one of our crazy adventurous weeks we mostly worked, hung out and relaxed. The weather here was definitely inside cozy up together weather. On Monday we went out for our friends birthday dinner at Ocean View restraunt. It was delicious and fun to kinda dress up again but heres the thing I don’t wear make up here or anything clothes wise other than t-shirts, kacky pants and rain gear because that is my uniform. So when we went out on Monday I kept asking Don if I was over dressed even though my hair was wet from the shower and I had no makeup on. I still felt weird being all cute. Anyways it was a good night. The rest of the days this week we went to work, came home had dinner, worked out,  and then watched a movie before bed or cuddled and talked.

Ok so you know how in the movie the Vow he talks about moments of impact in our lives that change it forever. Well I totally believe that is true and marrying Don was an amazing moment of impact in my life that I continue to realize more and more each day. The other day I was bothered by something and I was trying to hold it in and just forget about it instead of bothering Don. But my intuitive husband knew something was wrong and was so sweet. He talked to me about it even though it was probably not something that he wanted to spend an hour talking about while he was trying to sleep but he did. He held me and let me get my frustrations out (which was absolutely nothing he did it was something  I found out about a friend back home). I guess I just look back on my life not too long ago, and  a couple of years ago I thought

I knew exactly what I wanted and what I needed and no one could tell me otherwise. I thought I knew where I was going to be, what I was going to be doing and I thought I knew a lot more then I did.  Well all I can say is how grateful I am for a Father in Heaven who knows me much better than I know myself. I now can’t imagine my life the way that I thought it was going to be. I am so glad that my plans were not right for me and that someone had the right plan for me. I married not only my handsome best friend but the ultimate best friend that I need. Don is so passionate, caring to everyone unconditionally, loving, genuine, and a great example to me so that I can improve each day. Oh and he is sooooo fun to be with. That is my little tangent about my amazing man and I hope everyone someday can find someone that treats them as well as I am treated and loves as much as we love.

So today I was working on the docks as a dock rep because I asked my boss for a few more hours so now I am down on the docks a couple times a week. The docks are fun and the girls that I met today are so sweet and fun to be around. It was a little stressful with the schedules on the dock and it was really rainy and cold but other than that I enjoyed it. I love being able to learn new skills that I can use later in my life. I am so glad we came up here and are able to do the things that we are doing. This has been such an awesome experience.

Here is one more side note about Don. I have always found him very attractive obviously but it is funny to hear all of the people up here talk about him. He will drop them off at the ziplines and they will say “oh our bus driver was so funny and smart, and he was very cute” when they are describing him or if they find out we are married they say “oh he is so cute with his perfect smile and blonde hair, your a lucky girl” and I just say “YES I am”. But I found out today that a lot of the people on the docks also find him very cute. Some of the girls I work with didn’t know we were married and they kept saying how cute the bus driver in bus 197 was and they would fix their hair when he was around until they found out we were married then they just said how cute we were together haha it is so funny.

Don and I decided to celebrate my birthday on Saturday the 16th because we knew my actual birthday was a super busy day with cruise ships in port. When I got home from work on Saturday Don had bought a bouquet of flowers, a lasagna to cook with garlic bread (my birthday dinner request), and he made a cake for me that he decorated and everything. He is so sweet to me. We had dinner I opened my presents and we watched a movie with some of our friends. It was a great night. 

On my actual birthday we both worked till about 6 pm which wasn't too bad, my company is awesome and I had a great day with them. Don text me and told me to dress pretty because we were going on a date. He took me up to a restaurant on the mountain that over looks the ocean and we had a great dinner. We then walked around town and went to rent a movie then watched it while we cuddled. The movie "This Means War" is probably our new favorite. It was so dang funny I laughed until I cried at parts.

I had an awesome 21st birthday and loved every minute with Don. He is so good to me and spoils me too much. I love him. I also got a package from my parents with gifts and other goodies. They are the best ever. Also I wanted to give a little shout out to the best dad in the world. He has taught me more than he will ever know and will be one of my hero's forever. I love him so much and admire and respect the man that he is. I was also lucky enough to gain an amazing second father when I got married. I love them both.
