Dan and Shelley

So this one was a bit different, we were emailing back and forth Saturday night, as we often do when Shelley is at work, and she made a comment about me coming out tomorrow (which would have been Sunday the 23rd).  I wrote back and said that you know I would and well….after that we made plans to meet up at her place around 7:30 in the morning, about the time she gets home from work.  I couldn’t believe that it was actually happening and I was so excited that I had trouble sleeping….which wasn’t good because I only had a few hours to sleep anyway.  I left here by 4AM and let me tell you, there was nobody on the road.  After a quick stop for gas and some caffeine, I made it there about 7:15, just a few minutes before Shelley got home from work.  I made it to her car just as she opened the door and despite the cold, I swear we must have been in each other’s arms for at least a few minutes.  Honestly though…..time just didn’t matter.  We spent most of the day completely inseparable from each other’s arms but did manage to get the Christmas tree put up and most of the decorations as well, though we didn’t get to the outside lights.  After what seemed like FAR too short of a day, I had to leave since I had to work the next morning.  I departed around 7:15PM making my stay there a very short 12 hours.  Honestly, despite the 7 hours of driving, it was well beyond worth it and without a doubt, question, or hesitation I would certainly do it again.  So after all was said an done, it was yet another one of the most wonderful days of my life.  I love you Shelley and I wouldn’t have traded our time for anything.  It was, as all our time is, amazing, wonderful, and incredible.  I love you my dear Shelley and I truly always will.

So, here we are again, but this time it’s actually not that long since our weekend together.  I wouldn’t get used to it though, seems we both have a problem putting into words what it’s like to be with each other.  I know we also promised a picture, but that didn’t happen either… we have promised to each other to make a better attempt next time.  Honestly, time flies by so quickly when we are together that that is the last thing I’m thinking about until it’s way too late.  Let me go back to the highlights though…

Dan was actually sweet enough to get to leave work early, around noon, on Friday so he made it over to my apartment around a little after 4.  We stayed insuperable for about 2 hours then as his tummy was rumbling a little, we decided to go get something to eat.  I took him to Big Jim’s and we had a white pizza.  No beer, but it was still good.  I don’t know what it is with us and pizza, but I’m not complaining.  Then we decided to go watch a movie together for the hell of it.  ‘Eagle Eye’ had just started playing so we decided to go for it.  I mean, there’s usually 20 minutes of previews and this one was no exception.  We went all the way to the back row, pulled up the center arm rest and curled up together.  I can honestly say it was the best movie experience I’ve ever had.  I am officially spoiled from that experience and yes, we did see the movie… the movie itself was pretty good, but the end kinda fizzled out.  From there we went back to my place and didn’t manage to get out of bed until about a little after noon, not that either one of us complained.

So after we got cleaned up, some pancakes and coffee later we went over to my Mother’s to go to a Challenge trail as they called it.  It’s like Halloween puzzles that you had to solve along this trail.  Honestly, it was really quite fun.  We went with my parents and Aunt Rita and all so we couldn’t be as free about our kisses as we usually are, but we still had fun.  Even though I got made fun of for getting just a little scared at the end.  After there we all went to Eat ‘n Park to eat and didn’t make it to my Mom’s till late that night.

We wound up just taking it easy the next day and went over to my sister’s house with my Mom and Ron.  So pretty much Dan has gotten to meet everyone in my family that lives up here and everyone loves him.  Even my Mom, which is saying something.  She hasn’t liked a single guy that my sister or I have brought for her to see.  Though, unfortunately, our time together had to draw to an end.  I didn’t want him to go home or if he did, I wanted to go with him.  I just want to be by his side for the rest of my life.  When we part it always seems as if a part of me is gone.  We didn’t know when we would be together again and even though I know now when we will be, it never seems soon enough.  I can honestly say that if there was any doubt in my mind before that he loved me, it’s completely gone.  There is no doubt anymore.  My sweet Dan, you have gone through hell just to be with me and I wish to spend the rest of my life making sure it’s filled with as much joy as possible.  I truly love you.
