The weekend came and went far too quick. That means my time with Todd came and went way too quick.
His plane came in Thursday night. I got to the airport somewhat early because it made sense to. I wouldn't want him waiting for me to show up. Anyway, so I get there only like... an hour early... I think. I see him come down the ramp and I was beyond happy.
I'm gonna spare the rest of the details because I had an amazing Valentine's Day and I don't wanna make other people less happy or talk about mushy stuff.
I LIED.
So V-Day was amazing. He got me an iTunes gift card and a t-shirt from the internet (cafepress.com I think?) that says "Todd <3 Me". I read that as "Todd Love Me", so that's what I've been saying it says, heh. I will let Todd say what he got, since that's more his story than mine. So, let's see... we had our real V-Day dinner at Outback the day before, so I *think* we had good ol' Taco Bell that night. And Blizzards! We love Blizzards! And then we came home and the rest is surely on Xtube by now!
One thing I learned this weekend is that if you are gonna light a room with candles and then try to sleep, be aware that the candles will usually not help accomplish that. I didn't think that idea through all the way.
Something that was a low point this weekend is that we got heckled twice. Once, a younger chick voice yelled "Homos!" from a van in a parking lot and the second time was we were called "F***ing homos" at the airport today. It didn't hurt me or anything, but it made me sad how stupid and intolerant people are. I don't have time to deal with people like that, so they can say whatever, but it shows what kind of person they are, and that's really the sad part.
Other notable things that happened while Todd was here was he got to meet my friends and family. They all seemed to like him - or at least no one has said anything to me yet - so that's great. I was really nervous about him meeting my dad and sister, but both seemed to welcome him. That was a potential stressful issue that worked out in a very shocking way to me.
I miss Todd a lot. It didn't hit me til he was walking up the security line that he was leaving me. I did a very good job of not crying up until that point. After that, there was no holding back at all as it all came pouring down. I was better this time than I was the first time, but to say I didn't bawl would be an understatement. I just bawled less. I knew that our time apart this time would be much less, so I didn't need to cry so much. You don't have to cry so much over such a sure thing, but crying still happened nevertheless.
And that's how I'm gonna end this.
