Jessica came down to Picayune Friday, so I worked from 6:30-11am. She came to the apartment. We ate a ham/cheese sandwich and chips, and then headed off to Gulfport. She shopped. I found one thing for Frederick. And we went to Biloxi mall to look for shoes and jewelry for my OTS Dining In outfit. Shoes - check. Jewelry... found the perfect set for only a measly 215 bucks. Yeah, I had to walk away. Just to make sure that I didn't do it, I told Frederick about it when he called me that night and asked him to tell me not to get it. "No, don't do it." ... and that was all I needed to hear. Jessica left around 6pm. The poor girl was on the road the entire day!
Saturday was a roadtrip to Montgomery, hanging out in the car with the windows down and reading... waiting on OT Handsome, finding a hotel with a DVD player after Maxwell's University Inn became a dud, watching Fringe, hibachi dinner with Fred and his fellow OTs which once again was a load of fun, then more Fringe.
Sunday was a day of not-so-logical decisions. I was planning on leaving for Picayune around 3pm, 4pm at the latest. But after a very uncommon request from Frederick for me to stay and watch Fringe and the Superbowl, that is when the crazy thinking started.... but I always think that way. This time with Frederick being on board, all bets for me to do the smart thing was off. It was a pain in the rear-end to find a hotel that was close to Maxwell and had a DVD player. Due to time of afternoon/night, we just opted for no DVD player and ordered Papa Johns and watched the last half of Super Bowl together. To make things more insane, I dropped Fred back off at Maxwell around 10:15pm, got in the bed around 11pm, woke up around 3:30am, was on the road at 4:30pm, and checked into work after 8am.... uh huh. Thank You, Lord, for keeping me safe!
So was the last minute decision to stay and squeeze in an extra 4-5 hours with Frederick worth it? Hearing Fred tell me last night on the way to pick up the pizza and cheese sticks, "This is the first time in a looong time that I have not watched the Super Bowl. And it is not so much because I don't want to. I would just rather spend time with you. Hey you, love you." Yeah, it was way more than worth it!!
It is funny how we can have the best of times doing nothing special. Just give us a TV, DVD player, somewhere comfortable to sit, and maybe a pizza (although it is not necessary)... and we are content. I am content. I am 90% content even sitting in a car outside of his dormitory, starring out of the window, reading a book, waiting on Frederick to walk out. I hate to think that he will soon be nearly 12 hours away from me, because there is no way to drive that on a weekend. Besides, my little Honda would blow up half way to Sumter, SC just in spite of me running it that far.
Great weekends always fly by way too fast when they full of fun things like shopping with a sister and sweet time with a tall, handsome USAF Officer Trainee... tall, handsome 2nd Lieutenant in 11 days. Ancient question, but can someone slow down time and/or reverse it? Please..... pretty please with a cherry on top?
