I didn't realize how much stuff I took for granted...

I've been with my current girlfriend for almost 4 years and I have been living w/my her for about a year now. ever since we started going seriously I probably never went more than 2-3 days without seeing her. the longest I went without seeing her in probably 4 years is when I went to LA for a 3 night trip I won.

well this past tuesday she left to nicaragua for a week due to the death in her family, and now that she is gone i realize how much little stuff we have that i take for granted. just small things like sleeping in the same bed with her, sitting on the couch watching a movie with her, giving her a kiss on her cheek as she sleeps in bed as i'm leaving for work, telling her little jokes and putting a smile on her face, being able to make sure nothing bad happens to her and protecting her, etc, etc.

I just never realize how much those things really do make me happy. it's been only 2 days and i feel kind of weird. and it's not like she's an hour or two away. shes in another country on another contenant. i was going to wait until i landed a new job and settled into a new place with her and once it's all set and done, i was going to then probably propose to her if it felt right. but missing her while she's gone and realizing all this stuff, i think it's going to happen in the pretty near future.

haha i just got off the phone with her and i was just thinking. like she left on tuesday and i didn't even get a call tuesday because it's not like in the US you can just make calls to any country from any phone w/a phone card. you have to go to the internet/phone place and make calls. it's funny how cheap a call from nicaragua to the US is. it's like 30 cents for 30 minutes.

but anyways i didn't actually talk to her until wednesday and i had no clue if she was okay or whatever, but i got an IM yesterday and just a few minutes ago she called me. :D

yah so i'm a sappy bastard, but chicks dig it :p

it's not that easy. well she knows i miss her, i just told her :p i actually told her a lot of the stuff i put in that post too.

but there is no phone where she is staying, as i said in my post right above, she has to go to an internet/phone "cafe" if you wanna call it that, to make calls.

Weird my Dad gets this way when my Mom is gone and they have been married for 30 years......

He gets all dressed up to pick her up from the airport and usually takes her a gift or something.

It's cool to see their marriage this strong after so many years.

Oh gawd, someone clean up the sap storm in here. She'll be back before you know it, enjoy the time to yourself while you can since it seems like you enjoy being with her 24/7. It's not that you've been taking time with her for granted either, you just miss her now and don't know what to do while she's gone so it puts you in a nostalgic mood. It's good to be appreciative, but I think you're just feeling lonely and reading too much into it while she's gone.

lol i'm not sitting here depressed or anything like that at all. i just never realize these little things and how much they bring happiness to me, and just right now I do not have them.

and even when she's around i still have time to myself. she'll be in the room watching her novelas on her tivo and i'll be in the other room playing xbox360 or something. it's not like i don't spend time w/just friends or anything.

yah and drewscrib.com is down right now. my dreamhost account expired last month.

Awwww :)

My dad was calling my mum every few days to see how she was when she was in Cambodia :p. My mum on the other hand didn't call nearly as much as my father :p

Nothing makes me appreciate my fiancee more than when we're away from each other honestly.
