Slowly But Surely...

Things in my life still aren't happening as fast as I'd like them too, but lately I just have a general feeling that it is all going to change.  Baby steps. I guess it's true that something worth having is worth waiting for, but if you know me, you know I'm a rather impatient person.  One thing that I've been trying to learn is the importance of being patient.  It's rough.

I just spent over a week with Chad.  A trip, which was only supposed to be 6 days, ended up lasting 9.  Last Sunday, the 3rd, was our five month anniversary.  No big deal to some, but we like to acknowledge these things.  Each month it gets trickier to figure out who's visiting who.  Long distance is hard. And expensive.  But Chad came up here and we were excited to FINALLY be able to spend an anniversary together in person.  Something that we haven't been able to do so far.

So we decide on dinner and a movie.  A simple date (hey, we're easy to please!), but we're such geeks when it comes to doing all this cutesy couple stuff.  We end up going to dinner, and then head over to see Limitless at the move theater.  Long story short, Chad ended up with a nasty stomach bug.  It lasted only about a day or two...and then I got it. It took me about 3 days to fully get over it.  It was awful, and Chad decided to change his flight (which was not cheap to do) to stay a few extra days to take care of me and be able to spend a little more time with me.

I must say, seeing each other completely helpless, whiney, beyond sick, and essentially at our worst, really brought us closer together.  We had a very interesting time this week and learned more about each other (not just due to sickness) and gained new understanding towards one another.  A few nights ago we jokingly decided to play "Truth or Dare" as we lay in bed, which we decided to just turn into a game of "Truth". It was nice to come out and ask things that we probably wouldn't have otherwise.

Every day I look more and more forward to seeing our relationship grow, and how we grow together.  It's comforting to feel like you truly have met your other half.  It's heartbreaking when one of us goes away.  But that is something that may be changing sooner rather than later... ;)

I dropped him off at the airport a few hours ago, and now he's back home, and I'm in mine.  He comes back in 11 days and is going to spend Easter with me and my family. No time for moping!
