Long Weekend

First of all, It's good to have Beautiful back in the area.

Starting Friday: I clocked in 9.5 hours with work. however, that all occured during a 12 hour period. (lunch break and another break) That's what happens when you're the only one who is available to tech (babysit) a projector in the overflow location for graduation. Also, the break was primarily worked due to that it allowed me to go to at least the beginning of a graduation party for Dan and Deb. I then went back to the party after I got done working, just in time to catch a third to half the people before they left. (considering I got back just as the party was technically over) I then proceeded to stay until after 1:30 am. At which point I realized that I was probably going to get a call from Beautiful at either 6:30 or 7 in the morning, due to that around that time she'd probably be heading to the airport. I was only slightly off on my realization. Actually, she sent me a text message at 6 am. I sent a response then went back to sleep. Next thing I know, it's about 10:50 am and I've got another text message. She's on the plane getting waiting for take-off. I get up, get ready, and start doing some more cleaning. (I'd already done some cleaning during week) I get my things together, make a quick stop at the store and pick up some roses and a couple of other things, after which, I grabbed a quick lunch. After eating, I filled up my gas tank, then headedd to the airport, just in case there was traffic. which there wasn't. Also, her plane ended up being about a half hour late, so even with leaving almost an hour later than I wanted to, I ended up at the airport over 2 hours before I needed to be there, which I didn't mind due to that I was able to get some reading done. So, I ended up finishing one of the books I've been reading. (The Book of Five Rings, by Miyamoto Musashi-I'll probably talk about it at some later time) After I finished that, I got back to working through Unapologetic Apologetics. Beautiful called after her plane touched down, we then made a brief stop at my place. (I had left my bag for the weekend, and Beautiful wanted to rest for a little bit) We then went to dinner. After that we made a brief shopping trip in order to get her something to wear to church. (which took longer than we would have liked) Finally we then headed out to her parents. By this point Beautiful had been up over 20 hours. (provided you don't count the short naps-sleeping in cars twice, as well as some napping on the plane) Everone crashed soon after our arrival. On Sunday, we had breakfast, went to church, and then went to lunch with a absolutely wonderful and darling older lady from her church named Amy. (this had been scheduled in advance) The three of us had a wonderful time. (we probably spent between 2-3 hours at lunch) Later that afternoon, Beautiful, her parents, and myself went to an open house someone was holding. The situation was tolerable, and I was able to let the situation wash over me, though I'm pretty sure that most of us would have rather been elsewhere. After this we went and got dinner, then started to play episodes of Babylon 5 season 1. (Which her mom is currently just about finished with-she'll probably be done tonight) Eventually people started to get tired, so I headed home due to having work this morning.
Anyway, that was my weekend.
Like I said, it's good to have Beautiful back. Her presence has been greatly missed.
