Trip of surprises;

My past trip to Norfolk was quite literally something else.

Of course for Mr.Copeland and I it was full of the love we have for each other. Makes each trip special.

Wasn't exactly the picture perfect weekend I had hoped for though. It rained all weekend. We literally went out mainly for food!!! Such hermits I know!!! We did manage to get ice cream and take a hike on the beach sidewalk. Virginia beach is totally different from our gorgeous sandy beaches in Florida. I must admit that it is a nice scene change. My trip was quit literally amazing until Monday.

We woke up early Monday morning to rush Mr.Copeland to work. This is something I've became quite use to. I managed to make my way around the base until I was safely back in our little barracks room. Begin the sweetest girl in the world I went to work cleaning his whole room until I got an unexpected phone call. The USS Mahan had decided it was time for a surprise underway. As a Navy GF this is one of the very last things you want to hear. After packing half of Mr.Copeland's things and forgetting a good bit I dragged my teary self back to the jeepjeep and found the pier. Saying a fast goodbye was the hardest. Thinking of the words to say that fast always leaves me broken hearted. Needless to say I spent the day in the barracks room all alone and drove by the pier numerous times only to find Mr.Copeland still standing on the front of his ship. The ended up never going underway but having to stay the night on the ship leaving me to take my very first cab ride.

This was one of the most rockiest trips to Norfolk I've ever had... I did however get my love back.
