Saturday

I woke up early since the plan was for hubby and I to meet at about six and go to breakfast. He pulled up in a convertible PT Cruiser that he had rented…awesome!! It was lots of fun to ride around and play music and just be together. After breakfast he took me back to my hotel and I checked out after confirming that I could have a room at a closer (not to mention nicer) Motel 6. He had a formation during the time I was checking out and we met up at the local Walmart, the cabbie who took me there explained that there were seven SuperWalmarts that he knew of and I asked him to take me to the closest. I also learned that San Antonio was the 8th largest city in the US. Neat. Hubby met me there and since we had a little time before I could check into the new hotel we went to the theater to watch the new Harry Potter movie at a theater that serves you food right in the theater while you are watching the movie, you could also order alcoholic drinks and I had a mimosa, my first and it was rather strong. The movie was pretty good, not as good as the first two and they skipped lots of the good, funny parts but I liked it. We made our way to the Motel 6, finding the way to it was very interesting, I gotta say, wireless internet in a moving car is freaking wonderful!! We were able to get on the internet and get directions which I gave to him while he drove, soooo cool. The hotel was unable to give me the room for about another 45 minutes (grrr) so we went to the Denny’s next door and he changed to civvies…looking goood….and had a cool glass of water. We finally got to the hotel and I will leave that part there. Later we went to dinner at the Tower of the Americas, it was really cool, the restaurant was one of those that spin slowly so you get a full view of the city while you eat. We were in a good spot to watch the sun set and had some really good steak and just talk. It was really nice, romantic and just what I needed. After we had to head back so he could get to his formation for accountability. The next day was looking rather bleak as he had fire-guard (literally what you think, watching for fires) until 9am and they were thought to be going to collect weapons at 1pm meaning a 12:30 or earlier accountability formation or even possibly not released at all. I had resigned myself to hoping for only a few minutes with him.
