SD!

I really miss San Diego. We went a couple weeks ago to see Fiancé's aunt and uncle, and because we had free tickets to sea world. I've never been to sea world before, and all 20 years of my life I have loved theme parks, so there was no question about us taking the six hour trip. 

1. Our temporary home. Austin's aunts house was my dream house. They live in Chula Vista in a mainly military community, so it was beautiful. Seeing green grass, that wasn't turf, and full grown trees that weren't attached to sticks in the ground, and American flags sticking out from each house made me so happy and excited... And sad. I wanted it to magically turn into my home. I wanted to wake up to this beautiful place every day. Living in Vegas, you learn to appreciate almost everywhere else. Fiancé joining the Navy will hopefully give us these opportunities, and I WILL have a flag.

2. The ship. Austin's aunt and uncle are both in the Navy. Austin's aunt works on an aircraft carrier,(I can't remember the name for the life of me right now) and she asked if we wanted a tour. Without skipping a beat we both said "YES!" Very anxiously. I'm a little afraid of heights, so I probably didn't have the experience that fiancé had, but seriously... The ship was amazing. If you have been on an aircraft carrier you know what I mean. His aunt works in medical, so she showed us the medical quarters and I was just amazed by all the things the ship had, all the equipment there was. I've just always been interest in things like this.  We went to the flight deck and we over looked the entire city of San Diego and Coronado. It was beautiful.

2. Let there be water. I live in a desert. My mind makes mirage puddles in the middle of the road because I like seeing small or big bodies of water. I love the ocean. I think it's beautiful. I love the sand. I think it's soft. I love boardwalks. Walking out onto the ocean gives me a happy feeling that lasts... Like a week? I love the shops that are near the beach. And the smell of fresh air. I could do without the occasional fish smell, though. Fiancé likes the view of the ocean, but isn't particularly infatuated with beaches like I am. Just seeing water and the ocean makes my whole day. It excites me!  

We had a great time at sea world and we walked up and down Gaslamp. We ate at corvette diner and went to an awesome sushi place. It was a fun trip, I wanted to cry when we had to leave. Can't wait to see where the Navy takes us & I hope it brings us here.
