is it the weekend yet?

It's Monday but I'm waiting for Thursday. Reason? Love.

A few months ago, my boyfriend and I started dating and I've been sublimely happy ever since. I can't remember anyone ever making me feel this good about myself. It sounds so cliche and corny, but it's true. He pushes me harder than anyone ever has. He makes me smile when I'm bitching about something. And when we do argue, we quickly fix any problem with a laugh and the dismissal of the issue. Most people were skeptical about us dating; he still lives at home in Pennsylvania and he's out of school, being a grown up, but it's been great since day one.

So over the past few months, I've fallen hard for him. We obviously don't get to see each other as often as we like, but the phone has gained even more popularity in my life and it seems that it's always pressed to my ear. But when we do get to see each other, it's always an anticipated event. I got to spend my spring break with him and it's only been a little over a week since I last saw him, but we're both stupidly counting down until Thursday, which is our next reunion.

Thursday, I go to Philadelphia, about an hour from my house. Friday, my boyfriend and I are going to Baltimore for the weekend, and I'm psyched :) It's for his fraternity, but its definitely going to be a great time spending a weekend away with him. (And I'm also looking forward to going to the Baltimore Aquarium.)

What I'm most looking forward to is what most couples take for granted: holding hands, talking in person, seeing the other person smile, having his arms around me while I'm sleeping. I get more upset seeing couples hold hands and just being in the same physical place as each other than anything else. Why can't him and I do that too??

Well this weekend, we will. We will be that couple that I would normally get pissed about. I would normally hate myself and want to say something shitty behind my back, but this weekend it's about him and I. Finally. About fucking time. And so my countdown to Thursday is on...
