Hey guys,
Long time no read eh? Sorry about my absence. A lot has happened since the Vegas trip and yes I believe I have one more post that I need to write for the Vegas series. After that I have a post about Schatzi's motorcycle accident (don't worry, he's all good) and one about some healthyish meals.
Schatzi and I as you all know live around 100 miles apart when I am not at UCSD. This amongst many other things makes seeing eachother quite the challenge. Last time I got to see him was the week of the 29th in July. So it's been what, two weeks? I am guessing to some of you that two weeks doesn't sound like a very long time, but it was. Schatzi and I were trying to plan a few dates and after a few bumps in the road he decided he would come up yesterday. He rented a car and was on my driveway around 4:30am Saturday morning. Yes, that is quite early, but I didn't mind. It was somewhat sureal seeing him in a car on the driveway at that hour. We got back to San Diego around 6:30am and agreed we both needed some rest or we wouldn't make it through the rest of our day.
We have been talking about watching the Planet of the Apes movies for months now. So we caught the 1:20pm showing of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. I don't normally eat in movie theaters, but this time Schatzi was so kind and bought me nachos! Schatzi got popcorn, rootbeer, and cookie dough bites! I normally sit in the center of the far back row, but Schatzi chose to go about half way up the rows and to the center. I think I sit all the way in the back because I always feel like I am being watched, but this time it didn't matter. All that mattered was that I got to sit next to my boyfriend. There were moments during the movie where I would look over and catch him looking at me and there were moments I would catch myself just looking at him. I still paid attention to the movie! lol Not sure what it is about those moments with him in the theater but they always have such a deep emotional effect. It's as if time stands still. Have you guys ever experienced this feeling? There were a lot of gun shots during the movie and I jumped a lot. One of the times I jumped and Schatzi pulled me close and kissed the top of my head.
After the movie neither of us wanted to go eat lunch so we headed back to the house to rest. Watched some House of Cards! That's the series Schatzi and I have chosen to watch together. It's really intriguing actually. There are a lot of different things going on in the show. Even though we have only watched four episodes I would still recommend the show to others! While we watched I got to file and buff some of Schatzi's nails. I love it when we sit in bed watching tv relaxing. I enjoy making his nails look all pretty. It calms me and I know he enjoys it as well.
It was starting to get late so we yelped a place for dinner. We ended up going to Knockout Pizzeria. I wanted to try the Chicken Ranch pizza but I also kind of wanted the Buffalo Chicken pizza so Schatzi had the brilliant idea for us to a share a half half pizza! The weather was not too hot not too cold so we ate outside. Being able to sit and have dinner with Schatzi was perfect. I knew the night was coming to an end though so I was getting a little down.
Back into the car we went. Reached town around 11pm. My curfew from my parents was set at midnight. That meant I had an hour or so left that I didn't want to waste by getting home early but at the same time I was worried because that meant the later Schatzi would get home. He suggested we stop at Denny's and that we did. I got a creamy hot chocolate and Schatzi got a fancy chocolate peanut butter milkshake. You guys know how he loves his milkshakes! I didn't want our time together to end. I was exhausted and on the verge of falling asleep but still wanted to stay out a bit longer. We talked for a bit then went to the market to grab a few drinks for Schatzi's drive back home.
We pulled into the driveway and I knew I had to get out of the car. I didn't want to budge from my seat. He helped me gather my belongings and walked me to the door. It was incredibly difficult to say goodbye. Lots of hugs, kisses, and heartfelt words. Part of me wanted to cry, but I smiled and turned to unlock the door. I watched as he walked away (it's not pathetic if this is making my eyes tear up right?). He texted to let me know he made it safely home. We both got into our beds and chatted for a short while before getting to sleep. Granted he didn't manage to sleep till 4 though.
I could talk about all the things I wish could have been different but what good would that do? Given the circumstances I had the perfect day. I got to wake up to my boyfriend first thing in the morning. Watch the movie we have been meaning to see together. Watch House of Cards while being physically together. Share deliciously tasty food. I got to cuddle and be cuddled. I also got to listen to him sing along to his songs in the car. That always makes me smile and think about how much I love him. We made precious memories that I'll never forget. Thank you for everything from renting the car to planning the day to simply holding me tight Schatzi. I love you to the moon and back. Hope that I will get to see you again real soon :)
