Chris always forgets how old he is. I have to remind him, "You're 27!" Oh ya. He said once your passed 21 it really doesn't matter. Does that mean my birthdays won't matter anymore? I guess also at 27 things just start falling a part... Chris's running shoes ripped while he was playing basketball at the gym, his soccer soles are completely off, his car had maintenance issues, and his computer is hanging on its last thread. I guess 27 is just that age.
Only one more week until we are in Utah! I am so excited! I had a strategic game plan in my head on how to ask Dan if I could possibly work my internship in Utah. I must have had a convincing argument because he agreed! I actually did not see it coming, 6 weeks working remotely? Now that is commitment. Well, on the plus side I will be busy, making money, and be able to go back and have a job. On the down side, it was not the vacation I was craving but I think it is for the best in the long run. We always make the best of when we see each other. We see each other on the weekends and then say Sayanara on the weekdays. But that is almost to an end, thank goodness. After this week, we will pretty much be together...except when he goes out for interviews...although those are not too long :). We went to Schlitterbahn for his birthday like we did last year. Except this year we went to the Schlitterbahn in Galveston. This water park was so much better than the one in New Braunfels. We had to wait 2 hours for one ride last year compared to this year we got on all the rides the first hour. The water park is priceless. Seeing all the big Texans strut their stuff like it's nobodies business. The lazy river though, that is a whole other story. There is this certain area of the lazy river where there is a current that makes a huge wave. Everyone lines up right before it is about to go. I saw the menacing look in Chris's eyes that gleamed, "I'm going to destroy you." Oh that poor lady. She had her glasses and shoes and everything on her. They met eyes and Chris pushed her with the current making her do a backflip in her tube and loosing all her accessories. I saw the whole thing, the only witness. Oh that poor lady, she just didn't know what was coming. She will probably never go on the lazy river again. There was one ride in the park no one was going on. It had no lines but the ride next to it had about a 20 min. wait. We ran up to the one no one was in line, and it was the best one of the day! I don't know why there were no people in line but I think the asian lifeguard working there was a little confused when we kept showing up. Later that night we went to Kemah and saw some fireworks. The fireworks were so much better than the ones from 4th of July. We also got a free piece of cake from a restaurant we went to eat at. So we shared it on the pier entranced by the fireworks, I hope it was a good birthday. Not to mention Chris got his sandals and blue ray that he wanted so badly :). This week we were saddened to here about the homicide in Aurora Colorado. I woke up that morning on Chris's birthday for him to tell me there was a shooting on his birthday. I couldn't believe it. We had bought tickets for Dark Knight Rises and didn't know if we should go. I don't know how a person gets to that point where they just want to shoot harmless civilians.
Lewis and Jesse came to Galveston to make fajitas and watch the Dark Knight Rises, not to mention I baked my first pie in honor of Chris's birthday. It's always a good time with those two. I forgot how cool IMAX movies are, I felt like I was in the movie. Was it too soon, it was the question pending in everyones head. The gunshots in the movie echoed in the theatre making the movie even more scary. I guess you really are never safe.
Can't wait for next week!
Love,
Cameryn
