More than a "wonderful" weekend...

So I had a downright dreamy weekend. :) For those of you who are still out of the loop, I'm currently in a relationship with a boy in Odessa. So this weekend, despite several setbacks, I was able to go and see him. It was absolutely fabulous! I had a marvelous time! Some of the highlights:

• Giants hugs - all weekend long!
• Falling asleep on him during Meet the Robinsons and waking up to find him staring at me with a smile on his face. So sweet!
• Understanding when I'm upset about something and pushing me to tell him what's wrong and being able to spill my guts, tears running down my face while he just.....listens. No interruptions or attempts at advice - just pure listening until I'm all spilled out AND THEN advice. But that wasn't until he felt he actually understood how I felt. I was having trouble putting it into words and he said "That's what we have music for. Think of a song." and when I failed at that, a simple "Can you try to explain it?" Honestly, he's the sweetest guy I've ever met. On top of all this awesomeness - he held me close and patted my shoulder while I cried.
• Being appreciated for little things like making the bed and straightening his room while waiting for him to get off work.
• Meeting his friends and having them at least act happy that you're there hanging out with them.
• Laughing as we tried to decide which NFL football player I should marry. Haha!
• Being allowed to beat him at a video game because he knew it would make me smile! :)
• Meeting his parents, despite fears of being "grilled to death."
• Being accepted by his parents and NOT being grilled to death.
• Getting to pick Sonic for dinner though he doesn't really like it.
• Watching Sunday Night Football on his laptop! Go Colts! :D
• Having him set-up an imaginary match between the Colts and Titans on Madden when the internet broke, just 'cause he knew I wanted to watch the game.
• A gentle "I hate to see you go." amidst a final squeeze good-bye.

Sigh......add to all of that: a TON of laughter at random silly things that no one else would probably understand, the sharing of secrets between us, sneaking glances and smiles, and talk of the future; and you have a recipe for the best weekend ever! Haha it was supremely great! :D
