This Weekend

My weekend starts Thursday night, right after work-
Drive to Wisconsin and get there at like, 2 in the morning.
Watch Seth graduate.
Open house.
RELAX (it's been a long and frustrating week.)
Go to Chicago.
Engagement pictures!!
Get home and get back to the madness.

Got the keys to the new apartment this week! I won't be moving in until after the wedding, but it's nice be there and get things ready for Seth and know that it's almost home.

I can't believe this whole long distance relationship thing is a few days from being over for good.
That's an awesome thought

Creepy Yet Cute

The weirdest thing I have ever seen for a long distance couple.

Half of me is tempted to buy it for Seth. But then the smarter, prettier, and more humble side of me remembers that I totally don't want my pillow to glow when he goes to bed. After all, between the hour time difference between us and the fact that I'm 90 years old and can't maintain consciousness past 11:30, this entirely impractical. And yet again, totally creepy. 

A Lovely Visit

A lovely visit to see my boy.
A lot of hours on the Megabus to Chicago and in the car to his house and then to the Great Dairy State, then back to his house, then back to Chicago, then back on the Megabus, etc...

Downtown Chicago, the city that I love to bits

We got a massively flat tire. God is good though. It could have happened in the middle of a cornfield in Wisconsin or on a shady street on the outskirts of Chicago. But it happened just a few minutes away from where we were meeting Seth's dad and stepmom for dinner. Seth is a maverick and knew how to change it, but it was still nice to have his dad there to help out.

Have you ever seen the game on Whose Line is it Anyway where they play a movie silently and someone has to provide the commentary? That is what Seth did with these 3 guys chatting outside the window of a Starbucks we were at downtown. It was a riot! In his dialogue, the businessman on the right was actually a drug dealer. (Do you see the Target bag he's holding in his crossed arms? Totally some drugs in there. It was super hardcore to watch it go down.)

I've said it before- and if anyone ever gets sick of me hearing it, then too bad- but I love this boy so so much. Well worth the long trip.

The end

He came, he conqured, we forgot to take lots of pictures

I had an amazing time with my love this past weekend- it's always a breath of fresh air to see him! But...we only took a few {good} pictures. And we only took them on one day out of the 3 day trip. Cause we are awesome and forgetful and too busy making googly eyes at each other.

 We are fashionistas.

I am so blessed. That's all I know.

Seth is visiting!

This weekend! So pumped! Its extra exciting to see him now because I haven't seen him since he left for the summer. OVER A MONTH AGO. This time last year he came for an awesome visit too:

{We acted all crazy}

{We went to get rhubarb from the old lady in my neighborhood}

{We got the rhubarb. We did nothing with it}

{We were all, "Ooh, I like you so much!"}

Before Long Distance Starts Again

I live in Ohio. Seth lives in Wisconsin (or Illinois, depending on which day you ask him.) The past two summers we've been dating, he's come to live here to be with me and work in the area. Point is, we are long distance daters. And our {blissful} summer together has just come to an end, as he goes back home to the dairy air state to start off his last year of college.

We ended our summer on a high note, though, with a visit from his mom, and enough running around to have us both in need of a week long nap. Here are some highlights of our last few days together, before the long distance starts again.

{Getting down and dirty with the poultry at our county fair}

{Chillin' out max at the Lithuanian Garden}

{Seth and me, my parents, and Seth's mom}

{We went to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. Check it out sometime!}

{We use the butterfly-check room as a photo shoot room}

Basically, the time we spend together is always awesome. It makes me miss him that much more when we are apart.
