It has been 5 weeks and I am still in NRE. I have seen R every weekend and then some. Sometimes he can get to Lexington during the week and I get to see him at my lunch. Last weekend we went hiking/camping/off road driving. It was fun. I had never done that before. Sunday the rain meant that we just packed up everything and headed back to his place. Got to meet his family.
This weekend I was not sure if he was going to be able to visit. There had been talk of moving to every other weekend because of money and such. I know I am going to go pick him up next weekend. At about 1:30 yesterday he advised that he could come to town. He picked me up at 5pm and we went to dinner and then wandered Meijer's acting like teenagers at times. We can not keep our hands off each other. Home to watch a movie and he spent the night. Left this morning at 8:30. I will get to see him on Tues when he comes in town for an appt and then again on Fri/Sat. *le sigh*
The big thing is that we exchanged the 3 words... I love you. We had danced around them recently by calling each other love, and saying love you. It just had not been the 3 words together. He said it in text and I responded and then we exchanged the words last night in person. My stomach is jumping as I write this. This is exciting, thrilling and a small bit scary.
Oh it also seems my NRE diet and exercise plan is working well. :) I am down about 10 lbs.
