patience really is a virtue

For the past month and something days, Danny has been busy with nursing school and work, and studying for nursing school. Gone are the days of going out to lunch or dinner or sleeping over or sweetnothingness. Each minute is accounted for. And each weekend, I look forward to seeing him, sans the stress (although I've soon enough come to see that it's unavoidable.)

Anyhoo, I have already prepared myself for the stress and and hardwork of nursing school. That's why I promised him that "I will TRY to be the best girlfriend a nursing school boyfriend will ever have." I've faltered one time. But I got it together and it didn't even become an argument. But lately, I've been really missing him. Like, really REALLY missing him. Maybe it's the weather, but I just miss the days of cuddling and not getting out of bed and just sleeping all day next to him. And we're waaaaay too broke to afford our "mini vacations".

Anyhoo, yet again, last night we celebrated our 33rd month together, early. It was supposed to be this monday (12th) but I'ma be working the whole day. So we're just gonna see each other and say hi. But last night was our date night. And we went to see Zombieland. After the movie, I kinda wanted to do something else but we have no money to afford the good things and too tired to go clubbing. So I suggested we go eat at Chinatown because that's something we don't do very often. He said no at first because he was just there earlier that day, but I guess something made him change his mind and I cried and gave him a big hug. Tears of joy of course. But still. And the thing that surprised me the most was that when I looked up to look at him, I saw tears. From him. And I know we weren't fighting and no one was upset so I know those tears were not bad but it broke my heart anyway so I asked him why, and he just said, "You're right. We are celebrating our special day and we won't ever get a lot of chances to do stuff like this, so let's just go." And my heart was ready to explode with all the love that I feel for him.

He is awesome and he is mine. And I love him.
