:( Home sick right now. This sucks. But I figured that I'd take the time now to update here since I haven't in a while.
Prom was lots of fun. I had the best date there, my dear Matthew. He took care of me and we just had a great time together. I was sick during the dance, not to mention that all the people that I can't stand kept surrounding my group during the dance because of Chris and Jake. :\ But dinner at Copeland's was really nice and after we left the dance, we all had a great time. Our driver, Paul, who is easily the best limo driver EVER!, took us over to the Inner Harbor for fresh air. Then we drove to Checker's to treat Paul to a milkshake and so the boys could get some food. We finished the night over at Maria's. I past out on the couch at 2, woke up to have a wonderful breakfast prepared by Maria's dad, then left after a tight game of Catch Phrase. All in all, a great night.
I missed John so much during Prom. I even cried a little in the limo after I got off the phone with him. Seeing your best friends with their boyfriends all night and knowing that your boyfriend is still 300 miles away from you can really do a number on your separation anxiety. Everything that we did, all the fun parts of the night, I kept thinking about how much fun he'd be having if he was there. He'd be laughing and dancing and acting silly. He would have thought I looked beautiful and elegant. Copeland's is his favorite restaurant even! Being in the Inner Harbor was just really nice and romantic, which he would have loved. We had more than enough room in the limo to cuddle and relax, like the other couples, since we only 6 people in a 8-10 person limo. I realized after I got off the phone with him how much I wanted to see him have an amazing night. I wanted it more for him than for me. Knowing that he is happy and smiling gives me such joy and happiness. And when we can share that together, it's beautiful. That's what happened at Prom last year. That's why that night was perfect. That was my Cinderella dream come true. It seemed like we were the only two there; dancing, laughing, smiling in a world filled with romance and love in bloom. That was the first night John told me that he loved me. Granted, I already knew in my heart, but to hear him say it took our relationship to a whole new level.
Friday needs to be now. Recital will be over and John will be home.
Oh! Before I forget, I was nominated by Cappies for Best Lead Actress in a Musical. :D Bells recieved 19 nominations out of 25 categories. It's quite awesome.
And now, time to talk to my boyfriend who just signed online :D
