And He's Off...

As much as I tried to delay the inevitable, I knew the time would come that Steve would be heading off to California for summer sales. I have not been looking forward to this and did all in my power to get him to stay as long as possible. I did a pretty good job and got an additional 4 days out of him, and I did my best to fill every one of those days with as much time together as possible.

Starting the night before graduation, we spend just about every waking moment together and I loved every second! With Steve being done with school and not having any other obligations (besides packing, which I certainly can do) it opened his schedule right up for me:
  • Friday we spent at graduation and BBQ
  • Saturday was packing and family parties
  • Sunday was a nice relaxing day and more family stuff
  • Monday was more packing and moving (even on my lunch break)
  • Tuesday was another lunch date then dinner and game night with our favorite people Trevor and Kara
  • Wednesday I got lunch again and then had our last date night
  • Thursday morning was breakfast and good-bye

Our time was filled with each other and so much fun! I just love this cute boy... Our last day together was one of my favorite days ever. We started the night with a great romantic dinner at Sam's Club. $3.75 for two slices of pizza, two drinks, and a churro - who can beat that? The Bee's Game was the next activity on the docket and I loved it! It was a surprisingly entertaining game with a lot of runs and home runs. I had a blast just sitting and talking with Steve and enjoying the game.
Thursday morning we decided to fit in a bit more time together and ran some errands and enjoyed one last meal together. We went to Market Street for breakfast and it was so good! The morning came to a sad end when the time came to say good-bye. I am a cry baby, and Steve knows it, and he told me it was ok to cry before we even started to say good-bye. I guess he knows me pretty well.

Steve is committed to 85 working days and I told him I was going to keep track of every single day (many of you may know of my joy of countdowns, and with my birthday over I need something to countdown to). We are down 2 days and only have 83 left!
