It was finally here. The time when Jesse and I would finally be reunited after 56 long and difficult days. We both dressed up like folks from the 30's and nervously awaited the moment. Alone, I stood out and many people rudely stared, wondering why I would wear that on a plane. But I knew that when I would finally see him, it would all make sense. Every minute painfully dragged on as the plane slowly neared my destination. Finally, as the plane made it's bumpy landing on California land, I quickly grabbed my bag and set off to see him! I followed the crowd and eventually got to the escalator and then stopped. There he was, smiling up at me and as handsome as ever. My heart leapt for joy and I couldn't handle the anticipation built up as I went down the escalator. Finally, after 1344 hours without him, we embraced. It was absolutely magical, and everything that was happening around us fell away. I couldn't believe I was actually with him!!!! As we made our way to the car, we barely said anything. We were both just so thankful to God for giving us this amazing gift of reunion.
Jesse has a dinner planned that night, and after showing me around the campus he blindfolded me and took me to the car. He drove around for a few minutes, parked, and then got me out of the car. I was so confused and excited! Then I heard, "Bojour," and upon taking off my blindfold, realized that we were still on campus!! He got one of his friends from the bible college to be our waiter, and served us wonderful candlelit dinner under the moonlight!! It was so romantic, and to top it off, Mat, Chris, Devan and Lee mysteriously appeared from out of the bushes and sang us the song, "Kiss the Girl" from the Little Mermaid.
The rest of the weekend was spent floating on a cloud. We went to old town Temecula, ate In and Out, went to the beach and cuddled in the sun, read the Word, and had our share of fun at Knotts Berry farm. Although it went by so fast, I am so thankful to God for giving me such an amazing relationship and such an amazing time!!
