weekend with the hubby

So this weekend I got to go see my hubby for the first time since Jan 3rd!! It was awesome that the army gave them a three day pass of base. I flew down on Friday and arrived there around 8pm and then left on Sunday at 11:00am so it was pretty busy! Jake and I had a great time though and it was just so awesome to see his face! We ended up staying in a new hotel which was awesome because i hate old gross hotels, and we even had a brand new rental car! On Friday night we just ate pizza in our hotel room and had a good time, then on Saturday we went out and explored Hattiesburg. ....Well, it was pretty tiny so there was not much exploring to do....

We ended up going to wal-mart, best buy, a circuit city close out sale, and the mall. We then went to the Hattiesburg zoo which was so small it only took us about an hour to see the whole thing. But, we ended up enjoying it because the animals that were there were a lot closer and all of the enclosures were right up at ground level.
After the zoo we headed over to the movies and ended up seeing "Friday the 13th"...ughhh. Certainly not my choice for a valentines movie but Jake really wanted to see it and he loves the movies (he owns all of them) so that is what we saw. (I actually kept my eyes closed through half of the movie because it was so gross!) Once I got over the grossness of the movie we went out to Chili's for dinner with another couple. We had a great time and I really enjoyed the other couple that we ate dinner with. (We rounded out the night by going back to the hotel and watching "The Princess Bride" and eating sunbursts...it was great! )

The next morning was not so good because I had to take Jake back to Camp Shelby. Camp Shelby is practically out in the middle of no-where mississippi and I am not surprised that Jake hardly gets phone service out there! But I was successful and did not cry until after I dropped him off at the barracks. The plane ride home would have been a lot worse except that I ran into two other army wives who had the same flights as I did! It was such a blessing from God to have support on the way home. They both felt the same lonliness after leaving their husbands behind and it was great to have company instead of flying all alone.

And well....that pretty much wraps up the weekend that I had with my awesome hubby! I will get to see him again near Easter which is about six weeks away!! :)
