I flew into to Syracuse on Friday. JFK got delayed a little, so we got there about an hour late. Casey was waiting for me, in his ACU’s right outside of the gate. As soon as I saw him my face lit up.

We got out hotel room, cuddled and whatnot, then we went to get dinner. 

Saturday we took a tour around Fort Drum! We went through the PX, we went through the housing area, and we went to his room! I played in his closet with all his uniform stuff! haha We went and had lunch then we went back to the hotel room. We cuddled and watched t.v. I feel asleep. haha Then by the time I woke up he decided that it was time to go back out. I asked him where we were going and he told me there was no plan….

We drove to Sackets Harbor, NY. Which was kind of close by. It’s right on the edge of the state on the Ontario Lake? or River.. Looking at Canada. I was positively beautiful. The sun was setting on the water, the air was so clean and crisp. It was a beautiful beautiful day. We got out and started walking about the Harbor, not many people were there. We walked up the road a little bit to this battlefield which is right by the Harbor. This is where trouble came…. There was bugs.. everywhere…. for those of you that have seen the show “Swarm” on animal planet or discovery… what ever channel.. It was like that.. millions.. and millions of these flying bugs. Not gnats because they were much bigger..  or maybe they were just gnats on steroids… haha either or. they were big, and everywhere!!!! Anyways. We were walking. I was complaing. They were getting under my sunglasses, in my nose, they were like in my flipflop. Iprobably killed like 5 million of them just by walking through and them flying between my foot and flip flop while walking.. it was disgusting, I felt dirty. all I wanted was to take a shower.. hahaha well we walked back to where we parked kind of and there was this gazebo looking on the lake. We walked under there to take refuge from the giant gnats. We talked and held each other for a while, watched the dogs play in the lake. watched the sun go down, then he looked at me and asked me if I wanted what he came here to give me. I looked up at him smiled and said, I don’t know, Do I? haha He reached into his pocket and took out dog tags, and on the first chain there were a set of dog tags, on the second smaller chain, there was my ring attached to it. He put it around my neck. I looked at it, looked at him, grabbed it and kissed him. He said, is that a yes? haha I kissed him and said “haha yes it’s a yes!” and I cried a little. hahaha He took it of the chain and put it on my finger. He was so upset how the night went though. He had apparently been there the day before and there was NO bugs. haha then all of a sudden they came out. He wanted everything to be perfect. and it was to me. It might not have been as romantic and went as smoothly as he wanted it to go but i loved it. I think its an adorable story. Just thinking about how nervous he was, He even left his keys in the Jeep the whole time. haha I could tell he was nervous and anxious and just wanted everything to go how he had planned it. Which it might not have all worked out to plan, but it was perfect. I will remember that night for forever. It makes for a funny story. I can only imagine what was going through his head as we were walking and i was swatting and bitching about all those damn bugs. hahaha I probably made it sooo much worse for him. haha But I loved it. :) 

Afterwards we went and got some drinks and went back to our hotel room, i took a shower instantly… hahahahaha We ordered pizza, laid in bed watching some stupid movie, and cuddled. :) 

Sunday, my last day, we spent the day in Syracuse. Looked around. Went to the mall and looked around. Had lunch. we sat at the airport for a while both not wanting it to end.  checked in and we sat on the couch waiting for my time to go through the gate. Once the line started to get pretty  long i finally got up and got in it. Once i got close i took my book-bag from him and told him he could go. He didn’t… I watched him walk… and stall.. then finally he just stood there and watched me go though security. I got all my stuff. Looked back and waved at him.. I could hardly see what he did back, but I know he saw me.. I turned around and just cried walked towards my gate…

The whole plane ride i sat there with his dog tags in my hand and randomly looking at my ring. That weekend was by far the most amazing weekend i’ve ever had. As much as it pains me to leave him, I couldn’t wait to get home. Show everyone my ring. and start packing my shirt to move. :) That is what I can’t wait for. Soon I wont have to leave him. I will only have to say “Have a good day!” or “I’ll see you for lunch/dinner” 

Well, that is my story for this weekend!
