I've been at Ryan's for almost 24 hours. I started coming down with a cough the night before I left. Wednesday I felt pretty punky, but didn't care, wanted to be on a plane anyway.

Well, in the past 24 hours, my sinuses have become involved, and evidently I am running a fever. But, I would rather be on death's bed and be here with Ryan than be at home and completely healthy. Having him here to kiss my forehead and telling me that I'm running a temperature is one of the best things ever.

Being in a long distance relationship, you miss out on a lot of the small things. Last night, we watched the second Night at the Museum, and just cuddled in the chair. It was amazing. Then we put Up in, and he fell asleep about 10 minutes into the movie. I had the pleasure of being able to sit with him and watch him sleep...running my fingers through his hair. I hope that my brain was able to snap a life long snap shot of that moment...because it's one of the most wonderful things I have ever experienced.

We are supposed to go up to Crossville to surprise my dad this weekend. I hope everything works out with the weather and this little illness to make it happen. I want my parents to meet the person who has made me so happy when my life was in such turmoil. It's in turmoil now, but for completely different reasons.

I'm trying not to think about Monday when I have to go home, but it's going to hurt so much.
