Day 30 of Leave

 
Happy early birthday to me!! How come? Because Mason took me out to 13 Coins tonight; wearing his Blues while I wore a beautiful gown (of course, my mother's). It was an EXCELLENT dinner! Such a pretty place! I was impressed. The booths were really high, the light was dim, and the people there were delightful. I had King Crab legs and May May had French Dip. Yummy delicious!
 
Before we dressed up and headed out for din-din, we went to Spuds for lunch and then to Lincoln Park. God... It brought back so many different memories and we'd always remind each other of them!! It was cute! <3 As we walked along the beach, we found these logs that, if you sat down and hopped up and down on them, they acted like a spring! It was the most entertaining thing. I was... TOTALLY in bouncy-world heaven. Mason and I were GIGGLING like a bunch of school girls. It was WAY too much fun. Hahaha!
 
After that, we went on the path. We watched a big ass crane go by, being tugged by a tugboat. We saw that rock that would always have "LOVE" spelled on it. And yes, someone spelled "LOVE" on it again. I took a picture.
 
We visited our spots, especially the Circle of Trees where we goofed about in there before going home. It was COLD!!!
 
OH! And... want to hear something funny? Something that only I would do?
 
Well, we were "hiking" up this hill to get to our Circle of Trees when all of a sudden, Mason states, "You know, this was how high The Reaper mountain was." as he pointed to the steeper part of the giant hill. I cringe. It was practically VERTICAL. I say, "Oh... Wow. This must be a walk in the park for you then." Just then, Mason begins busting out laughing. I ask what I said and he replies, "A 'walk in the park'. We're in a park." I do the biggest face-palm of my life for not noticing that... I laughed so hard!!! So now, whenever I say that saying, I'll remember how retarded I was at not going, "And that ain't no PUN!"
 
Lincoln Park was great, but the dinner was even MORE great. Technically, this is the second time we've done a personal dinner at a nice restuarant while dressing up. But LITERALLY, this restuarant counted as the first since the chowder house down at Alki beach wasn't so... fancy in a sense. It was NICE! But not as fancy as 13 Coins. It was gorgeous there. I liked the food too! They had a LOT of yummy choices.
 
After dinner, we went home to change, I drove to May May's house and then we all went to visit Lily. She and her boyfriend have a bearded dragon named Bubba. I got to hold him and cuddle him! He was real chill. He kept falling asleep on me as I petted him. He was adorable. I still want a lizard for my own. Or a snake. Or a bird. Or a horse.
 
Or a Ferrari. Ya know. Something in those categories... ;)
 
Nah, but yea; he was a little cutie-pants. I wanted to steal him for home!
 
It's 1:33 AM. I really need to go to bed but... I don't want to! I hate school!! This quarter is super lame!!!
 
On Tuesday though, I won't be going to school. I'll be taking Mason to the airport. He's heading out for Camp P. in San Diego. He'll be there for a month (the reason why he took me out to dinner so early for my birthday. My b-day is the 25th of this month). Afterwards, without a Leave, he goes to Florida for training. He'll be there for 9 months. That's... a long freakin' time. At least we have Skype and calling. At least we have communication beyond letters. At least we have those things. But it'll still be hard as Hell...
