Darren's Birthday

It was Wednesday, so I didn't get to see him. However, I did get to this past Saturday. He came up to visit me for a bit. I was so happy for him to be here. It's been a month since I last saw him so it was great to see him. We started the day together by watching Juno. I love the movie and he's seen it several times, and it was really nice to actually watch a movie in the same room together. After that, we decided to walk to Gigi's cupcakes, which has really good cupcakes (and in case you don't know, I have a cupcake fetish). Boy, were they delicious, and they love to put on the frosting. Once we got them, we went back to North Campus which is the prettiest part of campus, and sat on a bench by one of the fountains. It was a nice moment. The only regret is that I wish that we got a picture right then and there. But we will get it when he comes to visit next time, which will be our two year anniversary. After being in North Campus, we went to Red Lobster for lunch. Amazing as always. Those biscuits are to die for. For realz. During lunch, he told me that his parents do like me and have no problem with us getting married in the future. However, near the end, I realized that we only had an hour left before he had to go back home. That's when I started feeling sad. I hate the thought of him leaving, and by continuing to think about it, I made it worse. After we left, I started crying. I really cannot stand goodbyes with him. The moment he does, I feel all my happiness with him. I never cried in front of him before, but he was incredibly sweet and understanding. He held me the entire time from then until he left. He asked me to stay strong for him. I've been trying, and most days I'm really good at it, but those rare moments happen when I cannot hold it in any longer. Sadly, it had to happen when he was here. But at least I saw that he cared about me. I feel like it strengthened our relationship and brought us closer. And since it was his birthday, I made him a blanket. He loves it. He's slept with it ever since I gave it to him, along with my dream catcher necklace. I really cannot believe our two year anniversary is in less than a month, but I know it will be an amazing day.
