This week has been a blur. Tuesday night Matt's dad came through town, which is always nice since we don't see him often. He just seems to do it at inopportune times. We met him at the airport and went for a quick flight in his plane. Seeing Gainesville from above makes you realize there is really nothing to this town. The campus is pretty cool from above. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to flying in small planes though - I always get a little air sick after about 20 minutes. But this is only my second time in one, so maybe it gets better the more you do it. After the flight, we had dinner and dropped him back at his plane. That's usually how our visits go.
Last night was hectic. We had dinner at my parent's house and did some laundry there. We got home late and Matt still had to pack. I don't like being rushed. I wanted to spend more time with him before he left. But I'll see him again in a week. I should have parked this morning when I dropped him at the airport .. so I could have spent more than 30 seconds saying goodbye to him. It's hard to do! I started to tear up as I drove away but I forced myself to concentrate on getting out the Orlando airport - which I did with no problem! Driving home I was rocking out to Christina Aguilera and "Ain't No Other Man" came on. I'll admit, I cried a little through the song. Matt's ringtone is set to:
You are there when I'm a mess,
Talk me down from every ledge,
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's passed every test
and that's where I lost it. I'm definitely going to miss him a lot. He's just .. my everything. I feel incomplete without him. But, I'll be meeting up with him in 9 days. That sounds so long! Let the countdown begin...
I'm completely exhausted now. I'm working till 5 p.m., then heading to the parking garage, then sitting through traffic. I hope to be home by 6 p.m. I also hope I'll be able to stay awake until then!
