New Zealand.... New Marines... New friends.... and missions!

Hey all, wouldn't you like to go to New Zealand I know I would. Bear is in New zealand training till late May early November! Now story time about the events of him leaving... HERE WE GO... Last week he worked Monday thru wensday, Thursday and Friday he had. Well Thursday he got to my house around 7 30 he cracked open a beer we had some friends over everything was great. bear got a call as soon as he sucked down the last of his beer from one of his Cpls. saying "we just got 11 new privates in and you need to come in and sing em' in" bear left and I satyed home and entertained. He got home around 1 30 am or so exhausted. Friday morning we wake up and go down to base to pick up some supplies, we met up with my sister and more friends for breakfast at a place called "The Breakfast Club" now this place is "BITCHIN" as they say in the 80's. This place is all 80's theme the decor the music and the food is finger lickin good and cheap. I so recommend this place. Afte we ate we finished up at base and went home and settled in for the night, Saturday morning rolled around. we left the house around 9 am (bear had to catch a flight at 3 pm) as the hours grew shorter we packed and loved on eachother, about 1pm came in to play and a lcpl. came to the door and informed bear that one of the female privates needs to get her skirt in town and no one can take her and that her room mate hadn't done her taxes yet. I offered to take the girls in to town to get what they need to do done. As we were walking to the car they were very nervous and anxious. I could see it in there body language. as we were driving I was talking to them trying to get them to relax telling them a little about my self asking them some questions as well. These girls were both my age 19 it was breathtaking to know how young they were and fighting for our country I was so happy and thank ful for them as I told them. As they would talk to me they would either call me "Cpl. Wilsons fiance, Mrs. Garza, Ma'am" i told them to call me Alyssa and that im a friend and to not be nervous with me. After that they loosened up and got a bit comfortable with me they relaxed which look like they haven't done in some time, we finally got to the seamstress, we got out and went to grab her skirt when the woman said it wouldnt be ready till 6 pm that night. The private apologized a million time feeling awful saying she would give me gas money for wasting my gas and so on and so on. I told her hush and not to worry about it it was my pleasure and that I would wait till 6 to drive her back. We got back to base and I spent the rest of what I had with bear. 3 o'clock came to fast and his ride pulled around with the other Marines that were going, he kissed me and hugged me and said good bye. He walked away and when he got to the door of the van turned to me blew me a kiss and yelled "I love you" and I just smiled feeling all gushie! As I waited till 6 came around I just sat and talked to the duty officers, (more of bears Marines.) Finally 6 came and we all went back to my car and drove down to oceanside once again. 2nd time around we go to the shop and got her skirt, I was thinking to myself what I can do to make these girls day? I looked at them and asked if they wanted to stay out longer and they both with excitment yelled "YEAS MA'AM PLEASE" I just sat and laughed and said okay my time to spoil yall. I took them in to a few stores they bought some new clothes a purse and some shoes! They both agreed by buying this they actually feel like "GIRLS AGAIN!" after they were done shopping I took them to eat some Mexican food they then at the table were laughing so hard while sharing stories! As we finished up and got back in to the car one of the Privated said to me she admired me and looks up to me that I stand by him and that Im such a good woman and that Cpl. Wilson is very lucky to have me. Later on in the drive I got a phone call its not about 7 30 its from bear, as soon as I heard his tone of voice I knew something was wrong he said to me " babe I need you to do me a huge favor I forgot my woodland cammis and I need you to bring them to me!" Now mind you from Camp Pendleton to LAX its anywere depending on traffic 2-3 hours away and his flight leaves at 10 30 pm. As I got on to base I drove as fast as I could (while doing the speed limits)racing to his barricks dropped the girls off ran to his room grabbed his cammies and bolted to the car and took off. I called my mom and told her im on my way to pick her up, as I was driving I felt the urge to throw up and pee I know weird. I was so so so stressed out it was awful. I got to my house and ran up stairs and with relief peed thank good ness I made it becauae I was literally running with my knees together! It was now about 8 10 or so, once again we got in the car and flew to the airport. In this time Bear has called me now over 30 times asking where I was at the sound of stress in that mans voice made my heart break. Were driving driving driving and finally see signs for the airport we get to where we need to be gate 5 delta. We saw him standing on the curb I jumped out he slammed his sea bag on the ground were shoving his cammis in, its 9 20 he kisses me kisses my hand says by to my momma and books it through security! As we left looking back on the relief of that mans face was pricelss and made all my icky feeling go away! So now we are 5 days into him being gone! Pheww did you break a sweat because I sure did! Have you done anything like this? Comment if you have!

Always,
ME! xoxo
