Originally I didn’t have too much planned for this weekend, but I wanted it to be nice during the day on Saturday. That was my only wish and did that happen? Hell no… but I get ahead of myself.
Friday night Dan got out to me about the normal time. I had Nicky in bed and Shannon was just going to bed so no real problem there. I had made some pepperoni bread for a change from our normal Friday night pizza routine (yes, I know there isn’t much of a difference, so shush). We honestly didn’t do much besides talking and catching up on what had happened that day and being inseparable from each other.
Saturday morning the kids and I woke up after a rough night with the kids tossing and turning and crawling into bed and Nicky wanting to wake up at 3am. I put on some coffee for Dan and I let the kids wake up Dan with their Father’s day cards that they had made and the lucky stones they made for him. Glitter was all over the bed by the time that was over, but it was completely worth it. We pulled him out of bed and I made some breakfast then we all headed out to Laurel Hills State Park with the hopes of swimming for a bit in the lake. Well, the weather just kept looking like it was going to pour at any moment and the water was a bit cold so we decided to skip it. There was a little play area that the kids played on for a little bit then we went for a little hike to find a little waterfall. After a little nice hike on a soggy forest trail we found it. It was very nice but the kids seemed to have had enough. Right when we were going to get going Dan just had to try to walk across the waterfall. He did it of course and was fine, but my heart was racing for a while. I should know better than to doubt him when he does something like that, but I’m a worrier. We packed up and was heading home right in time for it to start pouring down raining. When we got home though, it was nice and sunny… of course. I made some dinner and we took the kids down to Michele’s house so we could have an evening together. After helping Michele finish her puzzle we went home to relax. Dan taught me some more PHP, we tried to lay out in the grass to watch the sunset, and just honestly relaxed and were inseparable all night.
Sunday we got to sleep in for a bit. By the time we rolled out of bed, showered and had something to eat it was time for the kids to come home. Shannon was more than ready to come home and I think Nicky was as well. We spent time with each other, played some games, but all too soon it was time for Dan to start heading back to his apartment. This time was really hard to let him go because I knew it was going to be a long bit before we got to be with each other again. I honestly hated to see him go and every ounce of me was crying out to either go with him or not let him go, but of course those were not real options. I cannot wait until we are back together again… every day seems like torture without him and I cannot wait to be back in his arms where I belong.
