An update & one big slice of cheese

First off, I sleep with my phone literally in my hand for this exact reason...I got a wonderful wake up call from Collin this morning at 5am! Hes been able to call a few times since hes been gone, but a different number shows up everytime. This morning, when the phone rang I didnt recognize the number and since it was really early, I knew it was him! I pick up and grogly say hey sweetie, but no one was there and then it disconnected. So then I thought someone accidently called the wrong number and hung up when I said hey sweetie. But then I got a voice mail from Collin saying, NOO! you didnt answer the phone!!! (usually if you dont answer their calls, they dont get another chance.) So I tried desperatly calling the number back but no luck. When I hung up, I had a SECOND voicemail from him. "NOOO! Hang up so I can talk to you!" So then I just wait for him to call, hoping he would be able to, a couple minutes pass and Im on the verge of tears, thinking I wouldnt be able to talk to him. Finally, he called a third time!!! Honestly, it was thee most wonderful way to start the day. Even though I just talked to him on Thanksgiving, it felt like I havent talked to him in years....I had some strong butterflies in my stomach! He is doing great and still in the top 3 in his unit. I know this sounds stupid but all day Ive been so giddy, I feel like I did the night before our wedding. I am so excited to see him! Thursday is the big day!
So on a radio show in Rexburg, I won two free nights at a hotel nearby. This hotel has tons of themed room suites. I knew I wanted to book just a regular room when Collin got home but this is even better! I went to the hotels website to book our stay next week and found the room we are staying in... its called the Romeo & Juliet Suite. I saw this and thought it was too funny to pass up. It as an oversized heart-shaped tub and two shower heads in the shower. The tv sits on a uh, drawbridge and heres the best part, it has a circular staircase that takes you up the bed on the castle balcony! Oh and they have a bottle of sparkling cider with wine glasses waiting for you in the room! I absolutly love how corny it is!!! Collin is gonna die, I cant wait to show him! He knows that I won a room but he doesnt know its gonna look like this! So what do you think, should me and Collin dress up as Romeo and Juliet to complete the look??
