3 Weeks

So it looks like I won't be seeing Phillip until the 16th of October. That's nearly 3 weeks away. I'm really not happy with it, but it just won't work any other weekend.

This coming weekend I'm headed up to Arlington for the football game. Grace has the whole weekend mapped out and printed into a schedule. Get this, there's no spot for Ashley to go visit Phillip. Hmph.

But next weekend, I could quite possibly head to Arlington to spend the weekend with Phillip, but that won't really be smart. I have two (possibly three) major exams the following week that make up half of my total grade for those courses. So they're huge exams that I will need the whole weekend to study for. Plus, I have a review that Friday night until 6pm, so I wouldn't be able to get to Arlington until at least 9:00. It would just be entirely too complicated to go up there that weekend.

Therefore, October 16th it is, much to my dismay. We have been pretty good about not going more than 2 weeks without seeing each other since first semester of this past school year. It'll be difficult, but I know it'll make that weekend we get to see each other more special.

But don't you worry, you'll get an earful over the next 3 weeks about how much I miss him. I figured you'd like that.

Lonely

I drove back to my apartment today from Austin. When I walked in the door and put my stuff in my room, I realized that Phillip wasn't with me. It was a very empty feeling, to say the least. I miss him already.

This weekend with him was a blast. I felt like we were a REAL couple. For the first time, I actually felt engaged to him. This weekend really made my marrying him no longer something I couldn't believe.

It's finally starting to sink in that I will be marrying him in a little over a year and a half. I like that feeling. :)

So what's in store for me this week? Well, I have two quizes on Tuesday, and not much after that until Friday. This weekend I'm going with some girlfriends up to Arlington for the A&M game at the new Cowboys stadium. I'm kind of bummed that it looks like they won't give me time to go see Phillip. He'll be so close. I'm not exactly thrilled about the trip since it will be the fourth out of the last five weekends that I'll be out of town. Can't I just sleep in and enjoy doing nothing? I suppose that's for the following weekend though.

Tomorrow: Austin Bound

Tonight is a bittersweet night.

On one hand, it's the last night with Phillip in my apartment for a while. I'm really going to miss him, and come Sunday, it'll be awfully lonely here.

On the other hand, I get to spend two more nights with him in Austin after tonight, so there's no goodybyes yet. It'll be fun to do our first vacation as an engaged couple. Plus, I get to see Heather for the first time in a very long time, my grandparents, my cousin, my family, and Phillip's cousins. It's the first time that I feel like we're making our rounds as a permanent couple. Exciting!!!

That's Better :)

I missed him so much. As soon as I saw him, I almost teared up with happiness. He is my other half and I just haven't felt complete without him here. Man I love him.

I get to see him tomorrow!!!
I feel like it's been entirely too long, even though it's only been about 8 days since I've seen him last. This time has just felt like years.
