Yesterday was a bad day so I didn't take the time to tell you about what happened this day 7 years ago (plus I posted my awesome Colorado post). But seven years ago Chris came home from Mexico, it was probably the longest day of my life! What should have taken 8 hours took 13 to drive home. Then he had to help clean up the vans and he got to my house pretty close to 11pm (it was a Sunday).
While he was away Ammon was in charge of checking on the house so I asked him to let me in so I could decorate Chris's bedroom. I had recently read the book "Guess How Much I Love You" to my nephews and it got me all choked up cause I was REALLY missing Chris and I realized just how strong my feelings for him were. So I bought the book, some glow in the dark stars and fishing string. I hung stars all over his ceiling and with the sticker stars wrote "I LOVE YOU" on the fan (which is still there to this day I think). I was so paranoid his mom was going to be annoyed I put holes all over the ceiling and stickers on the fan, thanks to Ammon for freaking me out.
When he came over I awkwardly told him in person that I loved him and it was just fantastic to be with him again. "To the Moon and Back" became our little love motto and I even engraved it on Chris's wedding ring.
The report I got from his family is that Chris spent the entire time on the beach or laying on the couch listening to the CD I made him. They could tell he was "katie-sick".
