Amazing Weekend

I had an absolutely fabulous weekend...BS surprised me and came up to my city for the extended weekend. We had a blasty blast!

Friday night, we stayed in and watched movies. Saturday, we took TR to the park. He was hysterical and we all had so much fun. After lunch, we got ready and went over to my dad's for a night of dinner, drinks and games. (third time now, always fun) In the morning, we all had breakfast and then BS and I went home and got ready for a date day. We played two rounds of mini golf, which he won by a landslide. At home, I cooked him a chicken and rice bowl (probably his most often eaten meal EVER) and we watched all sorts of movies and stand up comics and all sorts of things into the wee hours of the morning...he left for work the next day and I had a movie date with CR. It was an positively beautiful weekend for me!!

BS and I haven't had much in the way of phone time lately. We talk in the mornings on our way to work and school, we text until he begins class, he sends hi's and bye's in between classes...in the evenings we're both busy: me with practices and games and him with homework. we eat, we prep for the next day and we're ready to pass out. and so it goes, day in and day out. We were texting today and I sent him something that I'd never truly thought of before...

We never got to "date". We've been long distance our entire relationship and have never really had that "dating" period, we had to have our courtship over the phone. I cherished every moment of being on that mini golf course with him. I even enjoyed eating our $5 footlong Subway sandwiches IN subway, instead of taking them home. I crave some sense of "normalcy" in our relationship. I'm dying for the chance to text him 5 minutes before quittin' time "hey babe, wanna go to Chevy's for happy hour?" or head home and figure out who's house we're meeting up at to cook a dinner for two. I hate that our chances to see one another involve serious financial and schedule coordination and planning...and after nearly 3 years of this, I think I have a right to throw my tantrum! lol

He's my best friend and I enjoy spending time with him. He's busy. I'm busy. And by the end of the day, we're both exhausted. Some day in the future, I will read back on this post and laugh with fond rememberance how difficult this time was. I'll think back about how strong it made our bond, and how if we could get through THAT [this], then we could get through anything! ...I cannot wait for that day to come.

For now, I count down the days until I get to see him again...

9 days, 2 hours and 16 minutes :)
