Over Memorial weekend we went to Territory Days in the Old Colorado City. It was a good time, very sunny, very windy, but still a good time. I really wanted to go for the tie-dye, not all the junk food or the beer garden. I took the girls down and met Aaron there who was with his roomate JJ. Colleen and her boyfriend also met us there. We basically went to the beer gardens, the guys all drank, I had 1 beer, and later most of a Mike's Hard lemonade. Then we went across to Thunder & buttons where my old friend Lindsey works. I hadn't seen her in like a year or longer, and we've been friends since we were both 15 (our birthdays are 2 days apart). So that was cool, seeing her.
JJ was being a major weird-o! He told Austin that he cuts himself and that he had a razor blade in his pocket, then all of a sudden his hand was bleeding. The guys ended up going to back east. For some reason I was beyond pissed off about this. I wanted JJ to go back to the hotel and Aaron to come over, but this didn't work out at all. I ended up going off on everyone, including my hubs. We ended up making up, unfortunately only over the phone, but thats alright. I had things I felt like I needed to say, he just listened and didn't say much back until we made up.
The next day, Memorial Day, Monday, we went to territory days again to meet our friends Brandon and Kendall. Brandon just got back from Iraq, and Kendall is pregnant, due July 10th. We've known them over a year now, met in Fayetteville, when Brandon graduated and got his green beret he got assigned to Fort Carson, and they moved here to Colorado Springs. We had a good time, Layla was in the snuggli, I left to fed her in the car, because there was NO where to sit down and it was extremely windy. Then we went over to the Andra's place to hang longer. It was a really good time.
The week before this, I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but we hung out with Josh and Sara R. Josh and Aaron also trained together, and when he got his green beret, he likewise got assigned to Fort Carson. Ya see, Aaron's training takes about 4 times as long because he is doing the 18delta program, which is the medical program...he graduates in August, almost a year after all of them! Anyway, he just got back from Iraq as well, and we went over to their new place here. It was interesting.
(Back story: When we were all in Fayetteville, we were all the best of friends. Josh and Aaron would work out all the time and Sara and I would hang out, and it was generally a good time. Well, then things got weird around Christmas time in 2009. Kelly and I went out to Colorado a week before Aaron. Then we went back to Fayetteville in Jan, a week after Aaron. When we got back Sara acted really weird towards me. Before we left for the month she bascially tried to start a fight between me and Aaron by trying to convince me that he didn't appreciate me. I said I didn't feel that way and that things between us were good. Then the minute I left she confronted him, behind my back and tried to act like I was the one that was saying I didn't feel appreciated it. It was weird! SO, we were back in Jan, then Kelly and I were leaving again in Feb on the 14th, to come to CO again to see my grandma and cousin and stay out here for 3 months while the guys were in SUT and SERE (out in the field). Well, it was 2 weeks early, because we wanted to see my grandma. Any way, during that time they apparently made friends with a new couple, Mike and Morgan and we became chop liver. The entire time we were gone, Sara acted weird. She wouldn't share information about when they might have possible weekends back in town, so we could fly out to see them, and she wasn't returning texts, or phone calls. Then I heard she was saying that I didn't support Aaron enough, because I was more worried about running than anything else! haha! We talked about everything, but things were never the same again. Basically its all I can do to just keep my mouth shut when we see them. If anything, all of Sara's drama only brought me and Aaron closer together. She is clearly jealous that we had babies already, my husband loves me and I have a successful career.).
So we saw them the other day. It was weird because they always acted like they wanted to have kids, but then Sara, who hasn't worked in like 2 years and already almost 30, was never ready to have kids. Then all of a sudden Josh calls me, not Aaron, from Iraq no less, to basically tell me Sarah is pregnant. Not only is she pregnant, but she is halfway through her pregnancy! Some might say, well what's so weird about her not telling you, you never see her or talk to her...but not so fast, I saw her in March and she didn't say anything, and then sent her a text to tell her Layla was born in April, and still nothing. When we went over there of course we talked like old friends, for the first bit, but then as usual, she got on the laptop and was glued to in the rest of the time we were there, skyping with someone. It was a bit weird! Aaron knows I don't care to hang out with them, yet he says I need to make more of an effort. But I just don't care too. And that should mean that I would get over it, so I guess I must still care somewhat, just not enough to keep putting myself out there. And they only live like 1 3/4 miles from here!! haha.. and she is having her baby literally up the street from my house, like <1/2 mile.
OK anyways...more to say but belongs in the next post.
